Hi folks we are back and a lot of things happening so I'll keep it brief and let pictures do the talking. We had a good run down to Taunton early Saturday morning and I filmed the current regular bus services in the morning albeit much depleted since our last trip with competition virtually gone and the local First identity also being phased out - indeed almost white out. We than went on to my pal Martin's home where in addition to the regular hospitality I was updated on his extensive miniature railways 7.25" gauge which has around mile of running track. I was given the privilege of making several circuits around the system which is being constantly upgraded in particular the signalling and controls which allow multi train operation on open days and at major fund raising events. Sunday was the running day at Taunton and although rain threatened we made it to just after lunch before the first deluge, we packed up before the next rain storm in the late afternoon and arrived home around 7.15pm. It was an amazing running day with frequent services run be a generally vintage selection of buses plus a few more classic than vintage so something for all tastes although of course there were many with local connections but many from further afield. There seemed a good turn out of enthusiasts and public and the event had drawn visitors, stall holders and bus owners from far and wide as the event gains prestige. We were fortunate in meeting many of our friends from times past in the South west and this was the trend for a day which exceeded our expectations plus when we returned home there was a good shower of orders from the net. We are also pleased to advise we passed the 13K Youtube subs barrier and are also making rapid progress through the next million of views with 30M not far off. Advert target adjustments seem to be settling in with the hit rate on a sharp upward line now but please keep clicking on them and no ad blocking apps which help nobody in the long run. So lets have a look at scenes taken today. Comments are closed.
