(Non Rail, When safe drinking water is an option)!
I just spoke of 1967! You are redundant of all rail locomotion! Water interested me, Filtration, Ph correction, For the learner I hasten to add! Worked a few jobs and moved to Africa! Aeration a strong point that I was not too aware of, The removal of obnoxious gasses from intakes of drowned animals, / even human? To the sedimentation stage…

Other Adventures 5 months ago(Trouble n strife)
I love old watches, steam locomotives, Planes, Drones, Corgi miniatures, Coins, and Gold! I worry of all the war mongering going on! Our currency stutters as all others in the World! But our wind turbines and imported oil is fragile under our seas? Could our hundreds of years of Coal reserves and all Heritage steam engines do emergency haulage…

Other Adventures 5 months ago( Balance or fall over)
Not so much about railway stuff, But Humans could reach the better fruits or berries if to stand upright on their plates of meat! But better to walk than to crawl I spose? Firing a steam engine at speed would flex hips and knee’s to keep your feet glued to the cab floor! ‘Its amazing’, To be pitched and tossed about at great speed, But to…

Other Adventures 5 months ago(A miserable old git)!
Not see 80, or 82 again, But advise the younger to slow down a bit and to think twice! To drive a long distance after a days work to nod off for a few seconds is scary but true! Coupling a train is to be for one more cautious than to uncouple, Your engines coming back on your train, It kisses the buffers to compress! The strongest man…

Other Adventures 5 months ago(The Weight of life itself)
I do go on a bit at times! But relax when others on ‘here’ add a couple photo’s to render my rail yarns a past event! They scoot off the ‘Locostop’ screen to fall into obscurity under my computer’s desk! I cant get my feet in there for Advent pictures! And letters that try to spell words 10 mile long? Digital past events to make one wonder…

Other Adventures 5 months ago(Time)
If I had my time over? I would have all wooden fence posts planted in painted mettle ‘Met’ posts! And all outdoor metal items of stainless steel? My boat moorings are s/s and remain looking like new after years in a tidal estuary? Magic! And if 20 years younger, Then solar panels on my roof! For my heating etc, As my £100 ‘plus’ Eon bill is…

Other Adventures 6 months ago(Natures wrath)?
After Hurricane or Tornado we see damaged property rebuilt of timber and sheeting! Huge airliners fly into a graveyard for old planes! Thousands of them loose engines and wings? They could divide into two or three family dwellings? Their very structure laughs at daily winds of 4 or 5 hundred MPH going about their daily routine? I’ve seen…

Other Adventures 7 months ago(A golden handshake) was fond farewell to some? But the mention of peace in that far corner of the Med’ would have Gold dropping 40 quid an oz on the world market! So I phone and sell a 1oz Britannia for £2740 scrap price! My dealer makes a couple hundred quid but when purchased in 2018 at £980 it leaves a profit of £1760? If that the number of…
