Sleeper Agent @sleeperagent1.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Less on Bodmin than hoped for but not being well versed on the B&WR still a useful title. There's a rear shot I've not seen prior & the well known photo is it still ex-works as the buffers are not yet lowered. This makes the lining interesting and also states the paint is black rather than blue. 061

Sleeper Agent @sleeperagent1.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Bit ruff but updated my old Sodor & Mainland Railway map edit so the Norramby branch is omitted. Even with this correction the network is still quite long for the little Gabs so thought I'd overrule Awdry's lore of three box tanks by making the third Neilson a design able to run trains end-to-end. 042
Sleeper Agent @sleeperagent1.bsky.social · 23/09/2026A sucker for Neilson singles so picked up 5 old prints at the Llanfair & Welshpool Railway show.
