'Lost many a year ago,
Cherrie's tale, ye ought to know.
She crashed in a storm to the icy depths,
whistle screaming of an untimely death.
Molly had mocked, teased and laughed,
now others speak on her behalf.
So hear tell the tale of Cherrie Bee,
lest she decides to visit ye...'

We do a lot of Scottish stuff, but people keep asking us about blue Scottish engines, so here's one the designers dreamed up....
This month's 'rejected' livery, perhaps?

Gotta love Triang TT! My Dad's little engine hasn't run in 15-20 years, but a little oil and a bit of running in and its like she's never been away!

An Ally's Thanks

Sefina, grateful to Marcus for all his help, can't help but playfully rib him now and again. After all, why else would he stick around if he wasn't at least a little into her?

Marcus, flustered, is very quick to set the record straight.

In the early 1920s, like many other railways, the L&P bought 6 ex-WDLR wagons for their own use. 5 D class wagons and 1 H class tanker.

The opens got board extensions and block buffers for quarry trains,whilst the tanker was only given draw-hooks.
Only two Ds would be brown.

We usually start the month with a rejected livery, but July is a little different, as we have an unrejected one instead!
We are adding two ornate'what-if' liveries to our L Class Collection

Saying Goodbye to Hawai'i.

The ship draws slowly out of the harbour with a ragtag group of passengers on board; a couple of cars, a steam engine, a Scotsman and a Hawaiian, the latter of whom knows she might never see her homeland again.

I wrote this story goodness knows how long ago, and originally thought it would lead to more, but it has remained a standalone tale. This is my attempt at making Emily work in the Railway Series - hope you enjoy!

A mixup in the Drummond household results in a rather glamorous single wheeler on the London and South Western Railway.....
The result is this month's rejected livery!

After being launched a half mile across town, Oscar found that he shared a passion for music and dance with Dolores - So they bonded fast, and began having friendly sleepovers together!

A wild Merlin has appeared!

Unfortunately hornby only did one King Arthur in Malachite green so modded wartime black will have to suffice.
