Some photos from yesterdays fantastic Oban Bucket railtour with the brilliant D213
D213 leaving the sidings at Oban for the return. Three modes of transport in one, D213, the water(?) lorry and a CalMac ferry! D213 stopped at Garelochhead awaiting a late Scotrail sprinter. D213 arrived back at Carlisle 17 hours after she left!

A view of a railway bridge in winter. Snow lies by the interestingly curved fence railings. A clear blue sky indicates dawn or dusk.

#signalman Unpublished illustrations I made for The Signalman by Charles Dickens.
A black and white illustration of a Signalman and his signalbox. A ghostly figure stands waving at the mouth of a dark tunnel. A man out walking in bleak countryside. A black & white illustration. A black & white illustration of a signalman sat by the fire in his signalbox. He looks anxious. A man in outdoor clothing stands between trees, he grasps the trunks of two to keep his balance. He is in silhouette, featureless, he looks down into a deep dark and rocky ravine. A black and white illustration.

Whenever I share paintings of the power station I always get comments about what a blight it looks and the cleverness of the juxtaposition, and I just don’t know how to explain how sad it makes me feel to look at the hole it has left on the horizon now it’s gone

Been faffing about with the Haymarket set (that's basically all I can do at the moment in regards to the next episode. Realised after that the skyline is far too cluttered but hey ho, at least the tenements look more tenement-y!
A model of Haymarket station c. 50s/60s with grubby buildings in the background. There is definitely not an NSWGR C36 in 1926 Royal train blue livery sat in the platform. You are imagining that.

the UK’s Internet age verification law has led to the effective censorship of all LGBT content on Reddit

what a shocking and unexpected turn of events!
Post on /r/transgenderUK entitled “Reddit now censors LGBTQ+ content under OFCOM’s new ‘Online Safety Act’” post text: “I honestly can't even think of words to describe how vile this is. Here's a screenshot of what I now see when I search "lgbt" with my VPN switched off. Occasionally a banner appears at the top of the screen saying something about needing to verify ID to access "mature content" but the button doesn't even work. The fact that we're now considered "mature content" makes me feel sick.” The screenshot referenced in the previous image, showing the results of a search on Reddit for the term LGBT. No results from LGBT-specific subreddits appear; instead, posts from /r/Conservative, /r/Islam, /r/JustUnsubbed, etc are highlighted.

Dear Friends,

This past weekend has been something rather special indeed. From all of us at the Talyllyn Railway we cannot thank you enough for coming to the Awdry Extravaganza 2025 - so many have travelled so very far to visit our little railway and we are so very grateful.
