No. It was originally going to be named 'Mandie' as my mum is named Amanda... and she gave me the money for it. Plus, IP called it 'Mandie'

I did think about slapping on my 'River Helford' nameplates on, but they're too big, so look silly on it.

Well yes, probably, and the parents are too because we always move every 5 years or so as my mum wants a new house project to get her teeth into :roll:

Why the flip would you want to move from that location!! Damn.

Here's a plan, wait for your folks to go out then burn the house down....Buy a caravan & live in that on site while your mum gets to rebuild your old house as her new project! Well it's a plan. :twisted: :roll: ;)

Oh & you best send that fowler up here for safe keeping while you are at Uni. It's only fair on the old girl!

Very nice! I really like the colour scheme now that I've seen her with the roof on, suites it to a T and the white rims with the body stripe work a treat:D

With all these sudden battery influxes on here it's been tempting me more and more to get a battery loco!

But at the moment that project is on hold (if i ever start it!) cause of many many others (like the railway, Phoenix's Plan B, Britomart, rolling stock......

)

It's not just mum, they both just want to move house a lot. Plus when I go to Uni, it'll more than likely be somewhere further up country, and it's a long long drive to just about anywhere from Cornwall, so they wanna be closer to me otherwise they'll never see me!

This wasn't meant to be a major thing anyway, just a note as it is a possibility...

You're absolutely right about that one! Whenever we leave after gigging down there, I'm struggling once I reach Exeter!

And the annoying thing is, is that it isn't really that much faster by rail either! And with Notwork Rail and First i really highly doubt that travel times will be reduced, most likely increased!

Perhaps the MHLR should a branch going up to Bristol... Would be faster.

Pants for offroading around here though.
