Its worth following Nick/Shredder on Facebook for the classic guitar photos as well as the railway ones...:-)

Jam.served, and.an anomaly corrected (6/12/2016) Fate, and the vagaries of real life sent me into Manchester today. I had meetings at 11:00 and 14:00, so hopefully would have time for a little bash in between! The morning's moves were: 158758 Rochdale to Manchester Victoria 3096 + 3073...

3/12/16 Trafford Park. (Actually wanted to be there, at a time suitable for the two-hourly service. A special satisfaction in warping real life to one's shack needs...)

Looks an interesting trip. Will.the walking bit be "Ullswater by Moonlight" or.along the High Street ridge?

Alpine and Taddys in Sam Smiths Lager terminology...:-)

An entertaining read, as ever. Congrats on the Class 254 DMLV :-) Might have to try the chippy at Haymarket some time, not had deep fried pie for yonks. One thing, though - I suspect your sleeper went through Newton, rather than Nelson...

A simple out and back trip to Thornaby for this month's quiz fixture takes me up to 10888 for the year. No winners, unfortunately...

Various possibilities for me: I'd like to continuing whittling down the bits of track I need, but still chase winners and shacks. In order of appeal, perhaps: East Anglia. Kings Lynn, Stansted Airport, Clacton, Sudbury, Braintree for track, 37/68/90 to bash, oodles of shacks. Kent. Need...

I thoroughly enjoyed reading that report, and didn't miss the train numbers (despite being one who sprinkles them liberally on my own reports). Your theory of alarms rings a bell with me. I'm another who sets for 6:53, 7:08 or 7:14 rather than on the hour. Something else that stikes a chord is...

I calculate that you've had approximately 470 duffs/strummers/joes/spoons. That's about 300 more.than me, and.an excellent achievement. My collection of them is very hit and miss. It includes 47374, by all accounts a rare bird, but doesn't include any of the 47555s! :-) And there are quite a...

You might if you sent it on the link just outside the station to the ECML, and then got it to turn left at Retford...:-)

Nice report, and well done on hitting your targets. Your.mentioning that there are 74 original members of the class 357 gives me an idea to make them a bit less tedious to chase. There were also 74 members of a far more rateable class, back in the day. So if you subtract either 356001 or...

Had 12 in total, with one still needed: Mainline: 4, 6, 7, 11, 13, 17, 21, 22 Preserved: 2, 9, 16, 19 Still required: 15 (and, I suppose, the prototype...:-) )

Don't be too jealous, you're currently one ahead of me! Mind you, 50021 and 50029 both still exist, and are required...:-)

Only ever did an Exeter St David's to Central return once, but the downhill was a a outrageously lucky "fall-on". In order to save paths from Salisbury to Exeter, any light engine trips were often attached to the front of a passenger working, and I ended up on one...:-) The date was 11/4/85...

A most interesting and amusing thread. To add my two pennorth to various topics mentioned: 1. The 37fest at Wymondham in 2010. Did this in the middle of an ALR, and scored 37029/275/518/601 and 97301. An excellent day ...:D 2. Thrashworthy preserved lines. The KWVR is quite steep, and...

The Sainsburys at Oldham Central and the Morrisons at Newbold are usefully positioned adjacent to tram shacks. Have used both to pick up supplies after a day out...

Good luck, hope you have an enjoyable week!
