Anyone got different toys ?

[CANDYAMSAN]

Finally got back into the BIG TOYS box today for the first time since last October only to find that 45305 is out of service due to a Blackbird building its nest and raising a family in the cab , and 777 Sir Lamiel is gradually becoming a `kit of parts ` now the team can crack on with the total strip down for overhaul . Any Chevy Big Block boys out there fancy re boring a cylinder this size ?

I adore Steam trains.....so Majestic!!!

Don`t think the animal rights activists would appreciate that !

There you go, the Blackbird family could be relocated and re-housed on a Welsh smallholding.
Pity my Aunt isnt still about, she was vice president of the rspb.. could have pulled some strings.

Welsh Smallholding!!!!

That`s much better than a ranch .

This for a little while... but decided I wanted to live a little longer so now have this.

This for 15 years...

Norton Rotary to Guzzi

I bet the rotary Norton revved its nuts off ! A world away from the old Bonie 650 !

Yup, like going from a Honda S2000 to a Rover P5
and calm...

Oh Boy ! What a toy ! That needs a lot of use in my opinion . I will happily take it for a test drive if you like !

I haven’t used her since September 2019. Not sure if any friends have taken her out since then.

The two happiest times in owning a boat.
The day you buy it, and the day you sell it.

Ive not had either of those pleasures

That`s a well worn saying indeed . You really should enjoy her more . I had a 4 birth cruiser for about 10 years and had some great times , but once you start using them less the cost per hour of fun goes through the roof with insurances , mooring fees , etc , etc .
I will be on a new toy for a week at the end of this month helping crew this 100 foot long 1907 built beauty from Cornwall and around the Isles of Scilly . Can`t wait .

Oh my god!!... a B17 just flew over.. anyone west of Bedford look out for it..

 

[Oneball]

Two Spitfires flew over here an hour ago

 

[Derek Nicol]

The B17 just returned heading East from Bedford

 

[Derek Nicol]

If anyone on here has a (full size) B17 as a toy, you win the thread.

(you will even beat Chuffers Chuffers and 100 foot sail boat).

 

[Chuffer]

It flew over Tiifield , South Northants heading east a little while ago , what a fantastic sight and sound ! Never seen one in the air before . Also had a Spit over this morning but they are as common as sparrows around our village now .

Just had a look at a map, i didnt realise that Towcester is due West of Bedford (i thought it was further North).
Its certainly not something you see every day.
Imagine seeing 1000 of them grouping up and heading east as the sun goes down...
