    Is an altenative employment for the pigs in hand?
    Maybe in use to replace the aerial delivery drones.

    clearly Robin was drinking something when she wrote that, :) It's sad though, when your hobby drives you to drink, ( only after your turn, and you have signed out)

    I get 3 pictures of 53808, think you need to adjust your adblock settings.

    I am still getting adverts, I do not know how to adjust adblock settings.
    Strange, The same picture on the Mid Hants page works OK. It's 53808 on the Train of lights vice Santa special, I have never experienced this problem before.
    But many thanks anyway.

    It's how the Mid Hants/Watercress are looking after their new addition and promoting it.

    Prior to this, the previous users were thrashing it or running it extensively, and the same legal entity, a party to a legally binding contract, saying 'Sod you, we have heavily used your loco, but we aren't going to pay a penny for wearing it out so spectacularly during one Chairman's occupancy of office'.

    Disgusting the way the WSR plc board have treated the SDRT.

    She does seem to be well liked in her new home, and the relationship appears to be a positive one , When i saw 53808 in the flesh, hauling a train of green Mk1's with the pines headboard, she looked at home, the only complaint you would get from me is that it was only 5, but there will be plenty of opportunity to let her stretch her muscles with a longer train, or the MHR freight train , in the next couple of years.

    Ah, the usual late at night or early hours making of assertions, to wind up the easily led next day.

    Surprised that with your claimed insider knowledge you missed the news about plc Board changes at Companies House yesterday.

    To save everyone looking, Mark Smith is no longer a director. I couldn't see anything else to justify the plural. I do find it extraordinary that we still haven't had a report from the Plc AGM, unless I missed it.

    At least some of the shareholders have received a report of the formal business of the AGM but not of the Q and A

    Hi, Pot, yes the kettle is rather black, isn't it. There was I, poor gullible simpleton, rushing off to Companies House thinking the aforementioned person might have resigned the Chairmanship or even his directorship, only to find it was a "dog bites man" story.
