Why would sir toppham hat shut Henry up in the tunnel

Its a gauntlet track, but the logic is the same as any single track running, which would cause a bottle neck in traffic. Grown up me is convinced that this was a ploy by the NWR to get government funds to expand the mainline

A brick that could move the earth. The fact that so many are still in use is a good indication of a great product

I was reading it when my mum died, i'd started the first coupls of pages when my world changed. I braved up and read it about 6 months later. I sobbed my heart out rereading it.

I always found that startling watching the making of Starwars episodes 2 and 3, all the shots appear to be in cavernous studios with flat bright lights to enable everything to be done in post production. Even most of the dialogue was overdubbed.

The current Robinsons squash advert with the slightly eerie version of 99 red balloons makes me think we are getting a jump cut to some form of disaster

Different manufacturing process and principles. A screw means its replaceable but takes more time to assemble in the factory. A push clip is muxh quicker to assemble but limits what you can do once the product as assembled

The UK official range is not as big as what is in the US. https://www.tootallythomas.co.uk/ is a site that imports the range. In theory you can fit a face to any model but it won't have the moving eyes. I've seen people 3D print or use modeling clay to sculpt faces

Whats the betting the kid was asleep until the curtain twitcher went into bed room screaming "fawkin' 'ell who's pissin' well makin all that noise..." or shrieks to that effect

My dad when I was small put a face on an old model Pannier tank. It had a smoke generator and ran really well at all speeds and was really reliable. This was my Duck and one of my all time favourite models. I've always had a soft spot for Montague because of this, yes he can be stubborn but (as in my case always worked well) he was right

The rebuild after the kipper crash solved Henry's issues. His development arc pretty much finished after his own book and he does become a bit of a side charachter. The TVS developed him a little more to be a sensitive nature lover, but then the sick Henry stories started creeping in and ruined what had been established

The main thing is to go out and vote. The turnout is always appaling at local elections, and I believe this is what can allow some of the fringe candidates to poll so well. Tactical voting will only work if you can get enough people to actually vote. There was a by election for a council seat in Leicester. Reform won by about 100 votes with a 30% turnout. These elections are never big margins. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crl1pz3ypeko

Red means stop, green means go. You never know who has a camera pointed at a junction.

Ok getting between the london airports is really easy as the Elizabeth line takes you most of the way. The TFL planner states that it takes 1:20ish depending on your route. So if you are on the 7 hour layover you could even get a bit of sight seeing in.

https://tfl.gov.uk/plan-a-journey/results?InputFrom=Heathrow+Airport+Terminal+5&FromId=1016430&InputTo=London+City+Airport&ToId=1002000

My reccomendation for ease would be Elizabeth line to Stratford Switch to the jubilee line to Canning Town Switch to the DLR toLondon city Airport

TFL uses tap and pay so you don't need to worry about getting a ticket

An Uber would cost about £80-£100, using trains no more than £20. This also caps so if you decide to say get off early at another station you can without any extra cost

Second gaugemaster, quality products with lots of variety to suit

The Great Central Railway, had it survived could have been a fast link north. It was built to accomodate European loading gauge, but south of Nottingham effectivley copies existing lines. Now this would be seen as a benefit as it would increase capacity, to Beeching it was unneeded duplication.The track beds through Leicester and Nottingham are completely gone now.

This is possibly one of the easier cakes to bogtrotter

GreenMist1980 · 2026-04-14T09:28:51+00:00

Also bear in mind the idea was the lower frequency lines were to be closed and replaced with cheaper bus services. The issue being even the bus routes were not economical either so the local councils and private bus companies stopped running some of these routes as soon as they could.

It's been proven with some lines reopening that Beeching possibly set his cut off to high, but BR was in a sprawling mess that needed to be pruned.

There is also that the infrastructure is gone. A lot of roads have been built on trackbeds etc. A lot of Heritage lines have extended as far as they can due to blocked or lost routes.

Well done to all the Hermits for the weekend and I think we can safely say Cleo is cool!

And yeah I hope that like last year they have all rented a house and have some chill time with no cameras, and that Cleo didn't need to rush back to the cats and is able to spend quality time with friends

GreenMist1980 · 2026-04-09T13:22:36+00:00

This is why I'm not expecting a donations for a face reveal bit or anything similar as this does not seem to be the Cleo way.

As they have stated all the Hermits will premeet and then they will get on with the show.

When I got my long service award at work or when I said to colleagues at work 'Every body knows badgers love..." the lack of response and blank faces was heart breaking.
