Good Morning —
Waking up to tea and crumpets and a bit of orange marmelade
That should satisfy the belly, now something for the eyes (and spirit):

Taken just last year, to the day — Simply wonderful!

"One difference between pessimists and optimists is that while pessimists are more often right, optimists have far more fun."
Here is an old documentary about the huge station at York, filmed from the perspective of the Station Master.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Thanks again Ed for moving the Diner. I am looking forward to David's contribution as well as others, yourself included. FWIW, I love the old black and white industrial documentaries. The one you posted at the end of the November Diner was interesting, mostly because it seemed to jump all over the place in terms of subjects. I think the editor might have been adding something to his tea.
I'll see what I can find myself.
Cheers!!
The Diner has been uprooted from the previous New Zealand location and made the 11,659 mile journey half-way round the world to the Wonderful Country of England. This month should be very interesting as we learn about the history and railroads of this fascinating land of many Railways.

Meanwhile, Have a place on the Team!
David will be our native host but, of course, anyone may contribute.
I'm sure we will be visiting surrounding areas of the UK and there will be much to see, much to eat and a great deal to drink, as well!
Cheers, Ed
