How hurtful we've spent hours tidying it to arrive at it's present pristine condition!

Did you find the finger!!!

 

[Tim Humphreys ex Mudhen]

Whenever the missing finger is mentioned Sopwith tends to look very guilty, he may have found it

I still haven't got to blackening the buffers or couplings for this but Chris has finished weathering the coal wagon and I couldn't resist posting a few pictures of it.

The flash has made the rust colouring a bit brighter than it is in reality.











The next question for Colin is do you want it coating in matt varnish before I send it (I will send them both together when they are done)?

 

[BrushType4]

Very nice weathering there

Is there some kind of in joke about fingers and green diesels

 

[BrushType4]

No, but circular saws are sharp....

 

[iploffy]

Oh so it's a red fingered joke

 

[Wagonman]

Oh so it's a red fingered joke

Very much so, alas!

 

[7mmMick]

Only red at one end and you've probably gathered its never been found and haunts the place till this day

Oooooooooh scary almost like an S7 member buying a pint

It's not being bought a pint you need worry about it's the tap on the shoulder and a brown envelope placed in your hand mate

[Buckjumper]

And remember iploffy old chap, you get more sherbet in a S7 pint glass as they're wider

 

[iploffy]

Do you get a fat bit of liquorice as well

 

[Buckjumper]

Veritable fountains.

Thanks Col I will leabe it as is.
Can I ask where the Brightwell meeting is to be held?

 

[Emma H]

Can I ask where the Brightwell meeting is to be held?

It's being held in ....................... Brightwell

Short for Brightwell-cum-Sotwell.


I can imagine a few company email accounts having fun with the village name..

 

[Wagonman]

More specifically it is to be held at the Stewart Village Hall, Brightwell-cum-Sotwell, Wallingford OX10 0RR. It is just off the A4130 more or less halfway between Wallingford and Didcot and will be signposted at the main road junction I am led to believe. Get there early if possible as parking is none too plentiful!

Traders should include Laurie Griffin, Peter Hunt, Pat Legg and C&L (possibly represented by Len Newman). Admission is £5 which will include all the tea you can drink.

I hope you enjoy the show.
