I was thinking about that Manx putting them in that horse shoe arrangement!

Bit of a squeeze. I have left my trailers off.

It works very well. Next time (wait for the rain to stop), you'll have to give it a go outside. Could take the idea even further.

For TE fans . . .

Not forgetting SR fans . . .

Or SW fans for that matter . . .

Like the stills as well. I wonder how many engines we've brought between us over 2006. Everyone's collection is bigger.

A lot, although I have only bought 4 engines this year . . . .

I dread to think how many I've brought. I'm promising myself not to buy so many next year. But now I've got 2 Mamod Steam Rollers I feel I need a third (show the different fronts) and then I'll want a new one with a canopy and then... and then...

The list goes on!!
I'm hoping to control my 'wants' in 07. Maybe a Luton or Latimer or a Bowman (101). Thats it. I may have to finance a few things by selling some of my pictures . . .

Any pre war Mamod (SE4, MM2 twin etc etc)

aye!
Folklore States:
Remember to take down every last Christmas decoration before the end of the evening of January 5th. It's seen as bad luck to keep trimmings up after Twelfth Night.

They go down on the 12th day as my birthday is the 5th of Jan and it wouldn't be right to have Chrissy decs up for my birthday.
