A few weekends ago I had the opportunity to visit the @RHDR with @MrTimDunn & @KentishHack. Sorting out my photos I had this unique cab view that needs to be shared with a wider audience. Was a fantastic day and recommended place to go to experience the mainline in 1/3 miniature.

So #GreatBritishRailways is the new name for @nationalrailenq with new responsibilities should be interesting to see how well it works - will the double arrow logo from BR of old come back?

Happy Christmas! With a frost and snow in the air what a funny year 2021’s been. Odd though I don’t remember anything of May, June, July or come to think of it August, September, October or November. Much like 2020! #covid19uk #xmas
