As the rain pours and the wind buffets outside and there is no hope of a car boot sale today, it seems right to post another virtual postcard (or two) of our "Holiday at Home". So snuggle up to your favourite squashy cushion with a cup of something warming and let's begin... A model of the area around the current museum building. There was a passenger line, a coalfield line and a coal canal....

Been trying without much luck to find out about this activity during the siege of Sevastopol. This plan on ebay looks worth getting - shame I am so poor.

First of several instalments of photos from the Christmas and New Year period. This is a disused railway viaduct in Radstock, Somerset - which I think is on the old Somerset and Dorset line. It's actually close to a junction with the old GWR line as well, and I'm not sure which is which, but as this line was pointing towards Midsomer Norton, I'll assume it was the S&D. Like many other parts of...
