It’s the Spring Equinox in the Land of the Inch High. The day when the day is as long as the night, and the night as long as the day, and occasionally something in between the two.
You’ll have noticed that in inch high land it always looks like summer irrespective of the time of year, even though the Spring Equinox is usually in the spring. Though in 1883 it was a month earlier. Okay, I made that bit up to check that you’re still paying attention.
Here we are around sunset with a rare photograph from when they briefly trialled an LMS Stanier 2-6-4 on the Highbridge line, as it makes easy work of the 6.05 Highbridge to Templecombe service.
May you have an excellent equinox, whether it be spring or autumn, and for the few old hippies that read my drivel, I hope you have a lovely time chanting and dancing around your trainset, celebrating the fact that 99.8% of all model railways depict high summer.
