Congratulations on scoring Dunrobin Castle.

Was the Duke of Sutherland at home, and more importantly, did you get invited in for a cup of tea?

Yes, he mentioned something along the lines of purchasing 365520 for the Far North wiring he has planned

Not the nicest of walks it must be said, probably easier to go via the castle carpark if it was possible

Well done! My good friend was part of the project to re-paint the Oykel viaduct inbetween Culrain and Invershin. Did you walk beside the viaduct?

I think you need to edit your post to report those were on 27th May, as it's the 28th today Looking forward to your trip report when it's ready, as I already know it's going to be a good read

I did indeed have a little walk beside the viaduct to look at some Victorian engineering

Ooh, you put MerseyRail away for a bit?!

I'm looking forward to seeing how you got 5 of them in one day, given the limited service on that line

Yep! Normal service resumed at 15:40 today with 507017 Its lines like that where I wish I had less strict rules!

As an aside, if anyone wants gen on which units are marooned on the Wirral, I'm currently working it all out!

Was it the flag post at St Helena not having the Jarrett Standard raised which gave it away?

Some of you will already know I've been hard at work recreating my lost needs lists. This had a sneaky advantage, in that I ended up organising my shacks needs by TOC. Don't worry, I'm not going to paste into this post all my needs as that would be a HUGE post! Instead, until I get another shack score in, feel free to read my summary:

Below is a summary of my required shacks, as of 07/06/2017, 0703

ATW: 65
C2C: 12
Chiltern: 6
EMT: 48
GA: 69
GN: 19
GWR: 49
LM: 8
Northern: 266
ScotRail: 138
SET: 12
Southern: 55
SWT: 44
TL: 6
TPX: 2
XC: 5

Mainline Total: 804/2,563 (UK total nicked from Kite)

Light Rail: 30

Grand Total: 834 to go!

266 Northern shacks?! Wow!

I've had more SR shacks too I suspect (off the top of my head) and I'm only about 40 behind you on ATW! 12 LM shacks required here. Which TPE ones do you need?
