Locomotive Swap

In little Britain at weekends, all trains are replaced with buses, it’s been the law since 1883. Here we are at Ankle Bend Crossing just outside Combwich as the Rail Replacement Bus Service trundles past. And as is always the case, it has several unscheduled stops at the various hostelries on route allowing time for a quick pint to be hastily enjoyed. For this reason, the rail replacement bus service normally carries more passengers than the rail service it’s replacing. 

Next to the crossing gates, our favourite bus spotter Nasal Nigel is chatting to his fellow bus spotter mate Adenoidal Andrew, and showing him his sticky Hornby Dublo streamlined A4 pacific locomotive which he carries with him at all times. Adenoidal Andrew, also has a sticky locomotive that he keeps in his own special pocket. With Andrew’s locomotive of choice being a streamlined LMS Coronation Class engine in shiny blue with go-faster stripes. 

Nigel and Andrew discuss swapping their engines for the forthcoming week to test them out after briefly observing each other’s cool streamlined diecast locomotive bodies. But they’ll both need to check with mother that it’s okay to go ahead with the week-long locomotive swap, for these model railway engines are quite expensive and easily damaged if accidentally dropped from tepid slippery fingers.
