Tin Hat Toby, part time shunter and full time conspiracy theorist, is mid-shunt with another tatty old wagon that’s ended up at Whimsy Pit.
Toby’s yellow helmet is lined with lead and aluminium to help block Bluetooth radio waves from those ‘12 inch to the foot giants’ who supposedly control the Land of the Inch High. All complete nonsense of course, I mean, really?
Meanwhile Bob Geeza Cat is trying to work out who the wagon was made by, he being quite an expert on such matters, something that might surprise regular readers.
Initial thoughts are that it was built by the Parkside Wagon Works Company, or maybe The Mainline Locomotive, Carriage & Wagon Co of Hong Kong.
However, a quick look at the underside, something that is easy for Bob, he be being only around 1/4 of an inch high, has revealed that it was made by The Frank Hornby Toy Company of Margate at least 30 years ago. ‘Hornby’ being stamped onto the underside of the wagon, making identification simple.
And finally, given its appalling state, which is odd seeing the wagon is nearly all made from injection moulded plastic, as to why it’s covered in rust is a mystery, or in Tin Hat Toby’s world, part of a wider conspiracy.
