Looking through some photos earlier, this image of Pannier Tank 4631 trundling over the un-gated crossing next to The Miners Arms reminded me a little of the Titfield Thunderbolt scenes with the stolen locomotive performing a little street running. Apparently those scenes were shot in Richmond Park and Woodstock in Oxfordshire, the 14xx Class loco being a mock up mounted on a road vehicle. And talking of road vehicles, that looks like Beryl’s not very trusty Austin 7 parked up. She’s probably having a few gins I imagine.
We’ve not seen Beryl for a while, the reason being like many of the other little people is that they’re all looking a little worn, the paint rubbing off with all the constant repositioning required to make up these cameos. But with this in mind, for a couple of hours yesterday before the dog took me for a walk to the pub, I touched up (no, not that way) the paint on some of our inch high regulars. I’ve also a couple of new characters as well, including a friend for Nasal Nigel who also has a special pocket. I think he might be known as Adenoidal Andrew, but if you my loyal readers have any suggestions I’m always listening.
