    It's probably a withdrawal symptom that's affecting his vision due to him giving up alcohol, plus a lack of Bavarian Serving Wenches to feast his eyes on, and no Bulleids on the mainline currently. :smile:

    Amazing. A thread I thought was about a steam tour turns out to really be about the merits of a weather presenters body.
    It would be nice to have a pic posted so that we can all decide.:becky:

    Sorry to hear you're leaving. Still, New Zealand, wow. Hope that gives you a great life!

    There seems to be plenty of steam activity in NZ, mainline and heritage, so hopefully you'll soon be turning our heads with some exotica.......

    Will be at work all day Wednesday, will probably go across to Brookwood (again)

    in the evening for the water stop ( if it does!) depends on what the weather girls

    have to say...!

    Whatever next?

    "BavarianServingWenchPedia"

    Bit of a mouthfull I know, (Bryan, behave yourself!).

    I promise I will behave tomorrow when this thread gets live and covers the train.
