Nah Col, but don't forget that we have a genuine LT lamp still sitting on the coffee table at Love Lane - just waiting to be measured up for some proper little 7mm jobs...!

As if we hadn't got enough to be getting on with though...?!

Sorry, forgot to say: Perfect weathering; I can almost taste it !!

You just beat me to it Dog Star!!

I believe that after LT dropped it's last fire in 1971, Kirk then joined BR to become one of the last firemen (Vale of Rheidol excepting) - working on "Castles". No, not the GWR kind of course, but the glorious old Humber paddle steamers...!!!

Thanks lads,
A book I have often thumbed through at oz7mm's ( Love Lane ) but never took note of the author's.

I'll have to get my own copy :thumbs:

I looked to see if there were any second hand copies on the net, given the cover price is £27.

If anyone is in need of a good laugh, go no further than here

There are three sellers of new copies on Ebay all at £28.00

I'll have a look at Telford and see if there is a second hand copy.

In the meantime I'll borrow yours John :D

I think he's p*****g against the wind when you can still buy it new for £28.00. But I have found that second hand book sellers really over rate/price them anyway.
I wandered into a little second hand book shop in Suffolk who had a copy of one of the GER engine shed books, I didn't want it as I have them already, but asked the price...."£65.00...it is very rare" I told them "not that rare mate!" and carried on looking.

Courtesy of the above photo Tim noticed he has put two cranks in upside down. Pictures can be cruel
