Here is me on my latest toy! This is Kermit my electric scooter. It does 30 miles per charge, and can reach speeds of 30mph. I use it to commute to the boat. That helmet strap looks a little tight here! Road tax is free and no special license required if you passed your test before 2001. Less than 1p a mile!! More HERE

Getting busy with my flamethrower again!

A day off, bored.... "Hey I've got the camera an old water pistol and Photoshop!! Lets get busy!!!!" Tech details: Camera on Self timer at f10 for 20secs at ISO200 in RAW. Taken in a dark room with remote flash through red gel at just below chest height (The flash trigger is in my left hand). The weapon is a modified water pistol with wires, xmas mirror ball, and a pair of of stainless steel cup hangers from the £1 shop at right angles to each other, attached to the front. The LEDs, sparks and fire were added in photoshop. The body is mine!! If your using the "New Flickr" press F now!!

This small wagon wasn't going anywhere soon.

Sometime in 1978 I think? On the North London Line.

The docks area of the model at the other end of the tunnel. A small branch here leading to some cranes.

A church on the hill at the exit to the main station.

I built the station roof from balsa, card and perspex.

The family cat "Twinkle" asleep on my bed. How many times did I bash my head on the railway baseboard? Alot!!

Looking down at the branch terminus above the tunnel.

A view of the City area, showing the station. My Blue Pullman set in one of the main sidings.

A general view of the hill area, with the main line passing through a tunnel. And above the end of the branch line.

My Hornby loco Brittania speeds along the main line, with the embankment up to the summit station behind.

A short spur off the climb the the summit station leads to a two road engine shed.

In this corner lots of old broken engines were stored on sidings.
