SM and I discussed this at the hotel after, over a few beers and a burger - characterwise a lot of you are like the way you post or write on here, nothing can prepare you for the real thing really I think!

I see what you mean about tripping over rails, seeing as there are a couple of NG locos in the background I'd have spent more time looking at them than the whole of STIA

I put the flatbase lineshafts, SE1, 48 Se2 in the box Manx sent me, so they didnt get damaged. On the way home I just chucked them in
