The hat definitely suits you Matt.

cheers

thanks for the comments guys, glad you enjoy the pics.

Ah sorry.

You look good there. There were a few home guards at Goathland yesterday.

Yesterday I went down to the NYMR's wartime weekend gala. having gone down in my normal clothes last year, I decided this year to go in some clothes more fitting for the period. http://i1334.photobucket.com/albums/w644/hmslion/100_1316_zps1dd3308c.jpg http://i1334.photobucket.com/albums/w644/hmslion...

Possibly, you may have to speak to laalratty for confirmation.

Thanks Ian.

The Sorton Bank Railway, just south of Lancaster, held a bank holiday steam up on the 25th. Below are some of the pictures I took. http://i1334.photobucket.com/albums/w644/hmslion/100_1278_zps870a27cd.jpg http://i1334.photobucket.com/albums/w644/hmslion/100_1279_zps457ef273.jpg http://i1334.photobuc...

Thanks for the photos - they bring back happy memories of childhood holidays. Back then (early 80s?) "Ajax" was a rusty wreck in a siding - photos show that we were pulled by lovely little "Invincible", with a (very) homemade headboard celebrating its 70th birthday. They still h...

Over the last couple of weeks, I've been on attachment to HMNB Portsmouth as part of my navy training. We were given the weekend off, so I took a ferry across the solent to Ryde, and down the electrified line to spend the day at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway. Took a few pics. I'll post the steam o...

I've had a look through some of the other items, they were also selling some 3.5 inch gauge live steam locos. Only one sold, a 0-6-0 GWR side tank, went for £1500

Plastic tender, I think. But it´s still a very "reasonable" price, when you see some of the LGB on Ebay.

I agree, but given that it's a very rare loco, I'd though it may have gone higher.
