    Don't worry Gary ..... With the "deltic"/Ryde Tunnel scenario, certainly all I was thinking was "toothpaste" ..... can't imagine why! :)

    Edit: Having just read @Monkey Magic's latest offering (the rotter!), worry ... definitely worry. :Woot:

    Just wait till my EuroMillions Cheque comes in, Double headed 9F's to Wooton in the middle some sort of RMB (have my eyes on the Thompson one at Llangollen) then a pair of class 37's at the other end.... Could you imagine? ;);)

    Done already in the form of "Tally Ho" (ex L.C.D.R.) which is alongside "Train Story". It is not occupied, although it is fully furnished.

    PH

    (P.S. it was shown on the Channel 4 programme; you must have fallen asleep at the time!)

    I misread that the first time that there were plenty of 'buried bodies at Havenstreet' :eek:

    A living museum is always good.

    Perfect, so after the gala and the Deltics have done their work, we'll ground the RMB alongside Train Story. Combining tradition and modernity, what more could we ask for.

    I notice that the Railway Folk are currently suffering from a Pirate Invasion due to the arrival of the Shady Lady.

    I do hope Pirate Paul is an authentic pirate suitable for invading a small island.

    Picture the scene 10 years into the future. "You can see that loco behind that Train Story over there ... you just need to walk past the building for a few yards, but if you get as far as the bloke hurling discarded brake blocks at everyone from an old restaurant car, you've gone too far" :D
