Greetings Somersex 💃 and hello Mark 👋 Fester likes it funky 🎵🎸🧦 Dapol released those sleeping carriages a couple of years back and Farish the Class 57 about six years ago 😲 you have to get them on release 🤔 or you've no chance 😪 As for "Premier Cider" 🏆🤔 I wonder if Merry Berry has ever rubbed up against the Bobbin Pear 🍐🍐😱 Many thanks for watching and very best wishes for health and happiness to all Piddle Folk from the other Ireland ☘️

Hi Paul of Wickford ☘️ well well not one but two GWR 158’s and with sound!! Enjoyed the video especially the funky rock backing track 🕺 I have my preorder in for a Northern 158 with Carlisle headboards so it should look the part, expect it will be out very soon? Cheers Gary

Greetings SC68 and hello Gary 👋 You will not be disappointed by the 158 😍 it is a tremendous piece of kit 😇 The sound fitted one is definitely worth the extra cash 💰 given the cost and difficulty finding Zimo chips these days 😲 Looking forward to seeing your one on an update soon 🤞 Many thanks for watching and very best wishes from the Emerald Isle ☘️

Good evening Paul! Those 158's look great in the GWR livery! I'm very tempted as I've travelled on them a lot! Would probably go for the South West Trains livery that is local to me, but don't think that's available - yet! Hmm! No, I must save up for track! Those Unifrog points I decided to go with don't come cheap! Always a pleasure to watch your never ending collection of stock roll around Wickford! All the best, Ian.

Hi Paul, another nice running session and all trains featured are my favourite for modern image, and I do like a green coloured train! I think The Night Riviera was running late as it seemed to run much quicker than the class 800 and the HST!!! I do think we need to see more people on the beach as there are lots of trains stopping at Pawlish, although they could be nipping down the pub for a Mary Berry sherry rather than the beach🤔 Lovely running session though Paul, bit more work done at Exehaven yesterday but not much planned today as there are a few other things I have to do🙄 and of course I’ll be basking in the glory of being mentioned in the same ITOPF as Charlie Bishop🤣 Cheers for now mate, John

🌹 Good morning Paul, are you all stocked up for the winter weather we are going to have in London. Honestly, when “The North” had snow in December it never got a mention, then the last few days London is going to get cold in Winter and the whole of the nations are told about it. Bah humbug.. Any case what is it about the modern GWR green gets people like me reaching for their wallets? You could paint anything in GWR green and it would look fantastic, including a bin wagon. Great choice of music today - a bit of an ear worm me thinks. Take care stay safe. 🌹
