Yes, it's a slow process but I'm getting there.
I do have pannier 4666 in both 4mm and 7mm. It was a Wadebridge loco but the "666" in the number makes me smile.

Pedant Alert!! How did Frank take the photo whilst also assuming his customary pose of leaning against his lorry - in the photo!!
I'm sorry, I'm overthinking this, aren't I..?

Look here, it's one of Frank's photos - part of his collection, so (edit: not necessarily) not taken by him.
It's pretty clear that Alan has had full access to Frank's album - if not how could he have recreated all these historical scenes so accurately?
Hang on.....

A timer? In the early 1960s?? Was it clockwork, and did it have enough of a countdown for Mr Drake to set it up in a tree (obviously, from the viewpoint), get down & saunter (Mr Drake never rushes, as we all know) back to his lorry, and Assume The Position?It's called a timer , get with the program Jordan .
The Prosecution puts it to M'lud that the photo has all the hallmarks of a Mr B. Ashworth composition, and that if it ended up in the collection of Mr Drake, he must have nicked it....
It's a great photo anyway - I soo* want this layout!!
* pun intended - yes I did the 'soo', so no one else has to....

My father had a clockwork timer which fitted on the cable release for his Rollieflex - this was in the 1940/50s. It had a rotating arm which showed when it was about to operate the shutter. It wasn't quite the dark ages.

I do enjoy following the life and times of the folk at Blackney.

I dunno, at this rate he'll be getting more warnings about posting photos of the real thing & claiming it's a model.... again...

Having just bought a class 121 bubblecar (in green with whiskers) I was wondering about the colour of the seating. Dapol have msde them all greenbut the only photo I have found showing the inside shows the seats having a much lighter colour on the top panel (headrest?) of the seats and what I can see on a couple of photos in Stuart Mackay's First Generation DMUs in Colour, that panel seems to be a light Tan colour. Would I be correct, as at the moment green doesn't look correct and is a bit too bright. Any thoughts please. Oh by the way i've solved the head code box and destination panel problem.
