Tech - hope the move goes well along with all the other elements of your grand plan.

You should have warned me that you were coming - I would have sent the chauffer out in her limmo to fetch you down to view KJ Towers in all its sleet covered glory. If you were really lucky, we might have even rolled out the red carpet for you! And well done for sorting out the Manchester...

Me playing catch up too! And good that another regular correspondent is still out and about on the rails. Some more successful adventures there and decent phots too.

Where did you sum to? Presumably somewhere Code Red in the Bakers.

Good see that you have been extremely active of late with a nice variety of activity. And as for that little episode with the 321, I think we have all had that at some point in time - chase something down for a specific reason and then keep on falling in to it for the rest of the day/week. Good...

Fully agree with all preceding comments. As folk will know, a change in circumstances last year has forced me to be far less prolific both here and on the bashing front. I'm currently neglecting both bashing and the social front to a certain degree (e.g. I used to go for an after work pint or...

A few busy days out there! Seems like some of the delays you picked up actually worked in your favour. All those winners and shacks make me rather jealous.... Yeah, I have been a little quiet on here but my excuse is that I have been rather busy elsewhere selling books. As for my address, it...

Blimey, all those Brians! Nice to see 31285 working though. Was a rare beast though when the network seemed to be overrun by Peds wearing uniform BR blue.

Well done! That was one of the few that I did not try!

BR fares.com shows a Off Peak Return route Warminster/Salisbury from Bath to Wimbledon at £50.80. This is an ideal ticket for two elderly visiting me as the journey will involve one change at Woking (which is normally on the level from Platform 2 to Woking Pier, aka Platform 3) from the through...

Mr 13, a few decent days wandering around home (or nearby) territory with some decent gains, if only on the shack scratching front. That shot of 37693 is top drawer - even better with it safely "underlined" in the Book of Hauls

I am also catching up and Sir, sorry Lord, you had one mighty fine time cavorting around the capital city. And with all those additions to the Book of Sighs and the inevitable haulage log, you must have been like the proverbial cat who'd got the cream.

Kite, there's just no stopping you trying to get every single shred of grab-able stuff in the book. But well done on that Edinburgh tram, something that most of us can only aspire to. ANd I clocked that a certain Dusty Bin fell as well. You're on another roll .....

Like Kite, I'll get my first 800s in when I can be bothered (or more likely when I run across them and I am on a Thames Valley Ranger)

Long distance trips are over for the year unless I manage to escape on to the odd railtour. I still have one trip report to finishing writing up and there are plans to spend a day or two cavorting around the capital in December.

The books side of things is going very well but always looking for more business! October was pure manic with three complete weekends out selling books - and we have two in November as well. Not bad, considering we are only out ten times in a year. SWR 455 coaches are now down to one! On the...

Alas, no 707s in The Haulage Book yet. Might wait until they are in squadron service before I go chasing unless I end up being able to grab some on the regular commute out of Waterloo. Unlike others, October has been a rather busy month on other fronts (principally selling books, yet more...

A nice bagful of Mancunian shacks there even if you started out at silly o' clock! Well done.

So you've reached that magic number of 2,563. Huge, huge congratulations and for the sake of repeating myself, your dedication is inspirational. Given your penchant for bridges, Roman Bridge was definitely an appropriate one to finish with. Perhaps in 20 years time, many others might have also...

Sounds like a great start to what is essentially a couple of weeks of R & R. Nice to know that Mrs 13 is so complicit in your bashing habits. And as for those impromptu "days of for good behaviour", it's good to see you making full use of them. And the doyen of the Cats - well done in putting...
