It's Sunday evening again, so it's time for.....
.....the Butterley Report!
My trip there was of a slightly different nature, as instead of catching up on sleep on the 158 there, I ended up hanging out of this.....
....due to the normal train running just in front of the HST to London, when it was running late I just couldn't resist!
anyhow, over at Butterley today, Britomart begun to have flashbacks to this time last year with the ice....
.....and Snowdon was in steam first for once, as I managed to forget the burner for Britomart in York
and the low winter sun highlighted the steam plumes well!
Narrow Minded brought Lady of Sherwood along for a good blitz at the meths!
Sir Haydn brought out his Sir Haydn
Also around was this lovely ELR engineering coal fired Billy, which sadly didn't like having a fire in it today!
Dolgoch also made an appearance today!
and a fire was eventually lit in Britomart, seen here trundling around with rather low pressure due to the lack of heat from Narrow Minded's Meths Burner
and the MDLR made himself known by asking if a Fire Extinguisher was needed while Britomart was running around....
who himself had brought Lady Sybil and Sir Dominic
and that's it from me today, and over to whoever else got any photo's today!

I particularly like the pics of Sir Haydn In fact, I felt this one was so good that it really deserved a proper background. This is only a very quick job, and not very good since I just couldn't find a suitable landscape with matching lighting conditions in my own collection. Nevertheless, I hope it gives an idea of what could be achieved:
(Incidentally, that's a genuine TR background - those trees are on the Nant Gwernol extension, though I have "mirrored" them in Paintshop.)

Nice video Greg. For some reason I feel inclined to lure a 3 masted schooner onto the rocks & plunder it's cargo of whisky. Then sit in a small stone cottage drinking said whisky before fighting someone who has dissed my dog. Oh the power of music. LOL
Tommy Dodd may have an ARS key but I have a TASS button & a Rope Ladder, just like pirates, except the TASS button bit.

By a strange quirk of coincidence - that's exactly the mood I was in while searching for 5min 14secs worth of soundtrack to cover the assorted extraneous noises and slanderous comments recorded during the filmingI feel inclined to lure a 3 masted schooner onto the rocks & plunder it's cargo of whisky. Then sit in a small stone cottage drinking said whisky before fighting someone who has dissed my dog.
See you wednesday?

Don't know yet, this week is very fluid with builders in & MOT stuff. Hence I have not managed a reply to your PM.. You could always bring some stuff down for a winter season steam up..

Hmmm. Long weekend off (though WRD M&T) so maybe, if I can persuade PeachBottom... Will have to crawl into the workshop and see what can be coaxed into life.Narrow Minded:64852 wrote:I know we've bungled Jame's thread, but to get slightly back on topic - there's going to be a fairly high turnout of Forumites descending on Butterley this coming sunday (22nd Jan)....... any more potential visitors?????
Well, now we know the buffer-stops work! (Heard at 2013 "Longest Day" solstice steamup)
Would love to, but Sundays are pretty tricky for us. (I'm speaking twice this Sunday.) Is there ever a forum turnout at Butterley on Saturdays?Narrow Minded:64852 wrote:I know we've bungled Jame's thread, but to get slightly back on topic - there's going to be a fairly high turnout of Forumites descending on Butterley this coming sunday (22nd Jan)....... any more potential visitors?????

I could only be closer if I lived in the club-house!
