While all things narrow gauge are firmly on our mind, we thought you might like to see a fascinating photo.

Our OO Gauge Rectank range features 5 different interesting loads. Of course, they are removable, so you can add something altogether different - how about a miniature locomotive?

We can’t trust Palantir with our NHS data Is this really the company we should be entrusting with our health service’s digital architecture?

"Palantir is not just a problem of profiteering from our national healthcare system— it's a fundamental threat to the democratic control of our public infrastructure + the privacy of every citizen. By giving our taxes to this company, we are aiding their operations everywhere."

Ukraine war latest: Zelensky calls out Trump envoys for visiting Putin and not Kyiv Zelensky says he can meet Witkoff and Kushner outside Ukraine if the country's 'complex logistics' are too much for them

#Trump sends his billionaire golfing buddy and idiot son-in-law to kiss Putin's backside on his behalf...

President Zelenskyy and his country are ignored. And we are sending our head of state to visit the USA. Seriously...? 🤮

Shouldn't he be going to Kyiv instead?

We were there a couple of years ago. It's a shame you won't be able to get past Whitchurch because the closer to Llangollen you get the more beautiful it gets (and the more difficult it is to navigate).

I have been to Lincoln and I totally agree about it being a beautiful city. We had a boat trip along the Fossdyke Navigation.

There's a couple of Victorian ones in Warwick cemetery with the inscription, "Name fell asleep on date." I tell you what, you wouldn't want to be nodding off in your dotage around that period.

The Bloody Ploughman apple is named after a Scottish tale of a ploughman who's shot dead for stealing apples from an estate. When his body is returned to his wife, she tosses the blood-stained apples he stole, and they sprout into a tree that grows blood-red apples. #FairyTaleTuesday
