Oh, Dr Beeching what have you done?
There once were lots of trains to catch, but soon there will be none.
I'll have to buy a bike, 'cos I can't afford a car.
Oh, Dr Beeching what a naughty man you are!

Despite the fact that my interests stem more from Waterloo than Paddington I have to express the view that GJ Churchward was not just a genius but a revolutionary in the development of the Steam Locomotive and the practices of the GWR.
I do admire the diorama above but it does beg one question;-
What is Mr Churchward standing on? Did he have a career as a Subbuteo footballer that we are unaware of? :lol:

Wonderful modelling, don't let him near the tracks on the 19th  of  December.
Now I've finally started a model railway…I've inherited another…
