O.K-Here is another class 158 (lot of them about lately) this time disguised as a Cornish pasty-and not a terribly good brand either (far too heavy on the black pepper,if you are interested)-This one at Aberystwyth,departing for Shrewsbury (At lunch time if you believe it.....)
P.S-best thing about F40ph wraps-it means they are leaving the `Budds` alone.............
ttfn
Ah more from the bookmobile The Kool Aid one's weren't that bad { okay they were but money's money ) We had the luck of a Spiderman one on our trip on the Ocean last summer.Something for today.

Good morning folks,back in again with another teaser for everyone.Shane,nothing wrong with n scale, I just can't see it. Actually I have concidered chanaging,so far I've managed to talk myself out of it.
A classic concist. From our one trip west of Manitoba
Good Morning
Thanks, Nick. N scale (shudder) - it's not all that bad, really! Nice CP shot, Rob.

-Yes-finally the memory returns-Was the Southern New England layout-one I always fancied building if I had the space,-pic is of a `C-Liner` (possibly a pair) with a C.V 2-8-0 as a pilot running through winter foliage on a bright day-footnote-is evidence to suggest that `C-Liner` has been spotted on the O.N.R taking the old `Northland` train up to Kapuskasing-got this from Frank Vollhardt-the most reputable of sources on O.N.R matters.......
Have a good day
If my scrambled brains are right ,there is a pic in the M.R layout planning special from about 2000-accompanied a C.V layout by Marty McGuirk,part designed by Iain Rice
Good afternoon all
IIRC, those C-lIners ran on the CV sometimes - we must look for pictures. Also, nice ATSF item.
Thanx for keeping things going, Nick 'n Rob!
Doing my part too . . .

Hi guys-Daddy`s lil girl is a beaut -takes me back-Am wondering about ROB`s C.N rarity-thinking Fairbanks -Morse BO-CO ?-can`t remember the name now-brain gone -Anyway,no matter.......
Here we have train#47 between Toronto & North Bay with a pair of F.P.7`s in one of the most elegant liveries around (for my money anyway )
And a little Irish whimsy-ex-Tralee & Dingle 2-6-0t #3 on the Cavan & Leitrim line-late `50`s-oh Mr Porter.........
Good to see ya again, Rob . . . things have been really quiet here, not very many contributors . . .
Anyway, here's one for this Tuesday . . .
Super Chief being serviced at the depot, Albuquerque, New Mexico. March 1943.
