Will your wallet have to be beaten into submission for a D11 BB?

I've got Butler Henderson on order from the NRM

[Blink Bonny]

Ay up, Blackout!

Little chance of that - I did manage to slip a Hornby 28xx past it plus a new brake caliper ( ) but its hiding behind sandbags now with a machine gun.

[strang steel]

Presumably you will not be contemplating a 5-BEL any time soon?

who's waz that clapped out Citroen on the Knavesmire today ?
(thats a bigger showing up than a 'pig' , s'pose its on the road thou' )

I might tempt you to shell out for one BB, as I did see bacchy's pre-production D11/2 at York today:

I can confirm, to my own relief that there is a tender fall plate.

I must've looked like a right prat asking about the whereabouts of the D11/1 prototypes, I was stuttering and everything
One of them is at the NRM on display in the shop, but I didn't get a chance to visit today

[Blink Bonny]

Ay up!

Nah, it'll be the blue 2-8-0 above it that's REALLY got my attention.

Maybe next year.

It can't have been my ol' girl at the Knavesmire. She's locked up in the old Sunbeam factory here in Wolves awaiting delivery of parts.

Appropriate really. Seeing as Citroen own the Sunbeam brand these days. Along with Hillman, Singer and Humber.

That li'l 2-8-0 is lovely, but I'm devoted to buying this Butler Henderson. I've sacrificed getting the Brighton belle for it. I might just manage to get the double tender Bittern if I see one for a good enough price at Warley this year. That's pocket money for you, but with this TMC 60007 I shelled out for in February which I'd been saving up for since last September and the Blue Peter for my birthday, I'm not doing too bad this year.

[mr B]

if the ole' banger is locked away BB it'll be less drain on the wallet !
la Deux Chavaux, we ?

Ay up!

She's a Xantia with seized RH front caliper. Part ordered. Awaiting delivery.

Oh, and a set of recoilless hammers! I know how to make her suffer!

[Autocar Publicity]

I had an old car that did that to me...twice. I got the army to use it as a target for a live-fire exercise... I'm not big on forgiveness...

Alternatively, the local TV company might need a car or two to wreck as part of their filming schedule?

I did see bacchy's pre-production D11/2 at York today:

I didn't, they had removed that model and a couple of others I wanted a look at. They weren't answering questions about them either. What's going on?

[Blink Bonny]

Ay up!

What was the vision of Apple Green loveliness in front of the 7F?

[CVR1865]

looks like a GWR green ROD to me.....

[strang steel]

looks like a GWR green ROD to me.....

Are we looking at the same photo? I thought it was a B1 in Apple Green

Ah yes, with specs on I do concour with the above gentlemen (scuttles back into the corner sucking on mini eggs and rocking slightly)
