Interested in railways, railway modelling, model railroads, travel, rail travel, food, beer.
Used to model 1940s LMS themed OO gauge, now starting again with an O gauge shunting layout, set somewhere in 1970s Nordrhein-Westfalen.
Maybe @trainshows.net could fill the gap?
Very disappointed to hear that the UK Model Shop Directory has been forced to shut down! A real shame, it was undoubtedly dated but still very much did the job.

At a 'gig' at The Dublin Castle, Camden on Saturday and the music bar had this beer system that was new to me. Special glasses with a metal disk in the base held by a magnet. The glass is pushed down on the dispenser and it fills from the bottom. What is the benefit? Faster service?

Sometimes, I like the run my trains without sound, and just have the clickity clack of the rails. This is an old Bachmann PRR K4 (4-6-2) No. 1361 that I haven’t run in a while, it has no speaker but I kinda forget how well it runs. At the end you get a good look at my switching layout. #modeltrains

We spot 34081 '92 Squadron' in the yard at Wansford, not in service, but looking really smart.

Whisky tasting at Fortnum & Mason’s on Sunday. Delighted to find they are one of the few stores allowed to stock Daftmill, so had to buy a bottle. Also a bottle of their amazing special edition Fielden single cask English rye whisky. At 56.4% proof it is not for the amateur!

Still three hours till train time, so switched to G. Gale HSB. Much more malty than London Pride, lower alcohol and leads quaffable.

Intrigued by this pub, near Trafalgar Sq., describing itself as a Freehouse, yet with Nicholson’s branding. Nicholsons owned by M&B owned by Molson Coors. Does this mean it is free to sell any beer as long as it is the likes of Carling, Doom Bar, Staropramen et al?

Final pint of the ‘weekend’, at The Queens Head, Brook Green. In theory we should be in the Science Museum now, but ‘lunch’ was extended.

In The Red Lion, Duke of York Street, Piccadilly for my first pint of London Pride this weekend. A lovely pint, even if it is served in the ‘flat’ Southern style.
