Looks good. Top effort from FGW▸ . And I say that as a committed republican.  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Horrendous. Looks like some ugly, bad-taste, cheap porcelain miniature that you'd see advertised in the Daily Mail. Sycophantic toadying to a bunch of unelected German robber barons (to steal a phrase from Jeremy Hardy).
Actually, if any producers of low-budget china tat targeted at Daily Mail readers are perusing this thread, I am prepared to sell you my idea for a nominal consideration.

Sycophantic toadying to a bunch of unelected German robber barons (to steal a phrase from Jeremy Hardy). I wonder when Hornby / Lima will have a model of it in the shops? It's certainly 'different'. For those of you who want it for 'Frothage' its on the country end of 1A81, 1C18, 1A27 and 1C96 today.... |

1A81 0844 Penzance - London Paddington
1C18 1430 London Paddington - Weston-super-Mare
1A27 1710 Weston-super-Mare - London Paddington
1C96 1945 London Paddington - Plymouth
Always subject to be swapped on to a different service at London Paddington though.

Wow! As I said, I have republican tendencies but perhaps wouldn't go that far. I'm just interested to see something different on the side of a HST▸ power car. No. Hang on. You're right blakey. Off with their heads I say.  |
