Electric Nose was right! I had been abducted by aliens and whisked away in a red-and-silver flying saucer. Only it was far too small for me and my 300-odd fellow abductees, and there was no space to put all our luggage!
The alien planet did have this view from the balcony, though.

Didn’t rain all week then?
I took that pic on Tuesday, which was the best day weather-wise. Wednesday was the only day of pretty much solid rain
Very nice. You notice that there are now two builds of silver bullet tanks that haven’t been produced in model form…
Those new ones with the odd centre spine and LTF bogies are quite cool.
Actually three types. The older “V” shaped ones came in two sizes, the 80tonne ones with a sharper angle “V”, and the bigger 90tonne ones. ATM wagons will be doing the bigger ones in N later in the year
Those new “pregnant” ones in the photo are wierd. Strange bogies, strange underframes.
Any of them in OO would be nice…
Ho Hum.
