Always good to catch up with old friends unfortunately it is so easy to loose touch these days even with all the modern communication such as email and Facebook ect

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

[@valdan6395]

Thank you Joanne. Lovely little dogs so not sure now if I prefer dogs or our adopted cat!

[@terrywatson7997]

Hope you two didn't get too cold but it's always good to meet up with old friends and it was good to see your layout again in operation, thanks.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Thanks Terry. We all appreciated that It was a lot warmer in the train!

[@janinapalmer8368]

Great video again Mike ... I can almost feel the cold .... way down here in Sydney 🥹🥶... perhaps you can find out something for me .... just before you arrive at Dunster station .. ( 19:05) as you look along that road running beside the railway there are a pair of red and white gantries ( like goal posts) placed across that road and about 40 metres apart ... have you any idea what they are for ? Every time I see them my curiosity gets the better of me ..🥹😀

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

That road is a dead end to an industrial site. I suspect those are height barriers to stop any tall vehicle going further and hitting electrical cables slung across the road further on.

[@mikepowell9326]

Hope you all had a great time regards to you both

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Thanks Mike. Yes we did!

Your model layout in the loft is really nice, well done 🎉

I was interested to see the 1957 Mark 1 Pressed Steel bogie corridor full brake van in Minehead, which I saw on the webcam at Blue Anchor being sent there yesterday. I presume this is going to participate in the Spring Steam Spectacular. It would be nice if it were to be restored and used regularly on trains as it is such a unique vehicle.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Yes I expect you are right about the brake van's usage.

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

Forever Friends.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

So valuable!

[@originalmollyrook]

Your Train layout is so cool. I was wondering have you both ever been to the Blue Belle steam railway and Tenterden Steam Railway? if not those 2 are very nice ones too I totally recommend it.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Thank you. Yes we went to the Bluebell Line some years back and really enjoyed the ride. I have uploaded a video of our visit there which can be seen on KZbin.

[@billburnhope2176]

Roll on the summer!😊

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Yes Please!

[@Southweststeamfan]

I have heard the pannier is being restored.. or will it be running soon?

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

I believe there is a lot of work required to be done before that loco will be in a fit state to run again.

[@runeljungstrommer331]

Nice outfit

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Thank you.
