yesterday had 1 of them DUH moments when I decided to extend the quarry siding after moving all the stuff out the way and getting ready to lay I discovered the track used on the siding was an offcut so the only way I could attach anything onto it I would have to rip it all up  
couldnt be bothered but heres the pics I took before discovering it

HUH? Whats all this?

What's all this about about out of gauge stock and not to scale figures? Did I see my name used in vain? Is this a handbags at dawn moment? :O

I've always been a fan of this railway and am enjoying seeing it develop, the trackside details, slate outcrops, industrial waste and the colonising trackside planting too! It's all good!

My handbag is actually a sturdy combat bag that converts between shoulder bag and rucksack with just a single pull of the stow away pull cord, it has concealed small arms storage and an insert balistic kevlar armour panel, plus a drop down shelf for tactical surveilance equipment...

....your bag is too pink and strappy to be a manbag!
