Have been able to get a small glimpse at the Hornby 2025 range and there’s some stuff I like and some I’d pass on. Thought a new starter loco was a good idea but this one just confuses me. Curious to see the rest of the range in full now πŸ€” #Hornby2025 #TMRGUK

.Tesco you may wish to fact check videos you upload onto Social Media, this howler claims to be in Daventry yet the town hasn’t had any railway lines for years now. Perhaps redub/edit it to mention DIRFT instead, a completely different place closer to Crick and Kilsby

Amazing to find this at work, yes it’s been adapted but given it’s stamped LMS it’s from 1923-1947 or thereabouts. Granted we’re based in a former LNWR/LMS workshop but surreal to see stuff like this still used, few bits here that are stamped LMS, BR M and even a GWR tap.

Arguably more interesting than the two Class 20s (some will disagree πŸ˜‹) hauling it the other day, here’s some photos of Colas Rail UK 73905, now on the way to France and then eventually on the way to Africa. It’s not just locos that carry on overseas #TamperTuesday

Citroen made cars that did this 50+ years ago with their Hydropneumatic suspension system. What is supposed to be so amazing about Chinese car brands? Only plus I see is the lower price point, which almost screams of being subsidised to cripple competition.

In Rugby Asda and shockingly there is one staffed till open. One. I hate using self service tills - why is it acceptable to just have one open? I don’t want a machine to keep telling me the item does not scan and that it’s the wrong weight 😩 Asda Service Team

Segment on BBC News this morning about electric vehicles, I’m not going to point out anything but can we please stop saying that these vehicles are Zero Emission? Yes they don’t have a conventional exhaust like an IC vehicle but they do have other environmental issues attached.

With every other bill seeming to go up and up, it’s nice to have my car insurance renewal through and find that it’s almost half of what I’ve paid for the past year 🀩

Of all the days, today is the day where I thought to myself β€œOh, I have nothing to do, let’s drive to have a mooch in Dunelm in Northampton” only to not know the shop is on fire πŸ™„ Hope all are okay and that nobody is injured after what has recently happened at Bicester

Almost had the whole cinema to myself for 28 Years Later today, well worth getting up after a night shift for it just hope the two that are following it are just as good 😌 Just expect an emotional rollercoaster of a film when watching it

So in Rugby this weekend there is supposedly a call for Union Flags to be flown as a response to Bilton School, Katie Hopkins etc Wonder how many people taking part will fly it correctly, or will they fly the flag in distress instead? It’s tempting to have a look and find out…

I love my country and I love our flag dearly but it didn’t take me long to notice this πŸ‘€ If you’re going to fly the Union Jack/Flag, at least hang it fucking correctly. Schoolboy error, goes against flag etiquette if you want to adorn yourself/your property in such things.

Someone threw away a BBQ at work, looked at the side shelves and thought my toolbox needs a shelf and I’m too cheap to buy one πŸ€” It works after a bit of bodging, just need to paint it now πŸ‘
