"Will NEVER suffer foolish idiots" - is that a reference to a certain politician?

Back in the day before somebody had the mind boggling idea that privatising the railway was a good idea...what a set of absolute eejit's.

Hope they got good pensions and kept the free travel allowence...thats gold dust nowadays.

Here's one I built earlier....

It's a 4mm scale, 18.83mm gauge model of a Peppercorn class "K1" 2-6-0, built from the Dave Bradwell kit. The last surviving engine, no: 62005, from a class of 70 still works today - usually on the West Highland Line.

Enjoy.
