Hinspire Ations....

So, full of anticipation, I betook myself to the much publicised N Gauge exhibition near Leamington Spa a couple of weeks ago.  Having initially been thwarted by the fact Junction 13 on the M40 doesn't actually seem to exist in an 'Up' direction, I eventually got there.  Hmm, I don't expect to be attending again....  Why are so many of the dubious smelling old men that attend these things just so rude - and it was the day after bath night as well. You'd really think they'd have some soap in their shopping bags and assorted luggage.

Enough already.  There's enough inspiration out there to keep me going, Flickr throws up some astonishing images these days.  Here's D5007 on its second trip down the branch.  Having worked the 'papers' and left the van at the terminus it has run with brake van to Pinfold Down Sidings to collect 22 trip and is here surrendering the staff to the signalman.....
