Will overhead wires start appearing?

Found this among other things. kleine Südböhmen-Runde

Thanks Dave. Nice photos of the branch therein. Slapy is a great wayside station. That and Sudoměřice u Bechyně offer exactly the inspiration needed. Both have run down industries adjacent to the station as does Bechyně itself.

I'm not really into electrics so my homage may well be simply diseasals. I have a suitable station building courtesy of Faller which could be set in a woody enviroment.

I’m fine with taking responsibility for avoiding Darwin awards, but I’d like a heads-up that there’s a whopping great step if riding along there on a motorbike! Might be more than a bit startling!

Myst admit, I'd avoid Prague centre if I was on two wheels. Cobbles+Tramtracks+wet/damp day is very unfriendly to motorbikes.

Outside of that, Czech is a great country to explore on two wheels. Did it in 2011. One of many high lights was whilst sat in a cafe on the town square in Tabor. We saw an old boy approach the Triumph. He had a good look, walking around and around it and then he looked at us, spotted the helmets and came over. His English wasn't the best but who am I to criticise. It was a million times better than my Czech but the Memsahib took over and interpreted.
He loved the Triumph. Turns out he'd travelled to East Germany in 1964 to see the ISDT. He vividly remembered seeing Steve McQueen on his Triumph. We had a great chat before he bid us farewell.

Looking forward to seeing more of Project W.
All the best

Morning all,



Just a quick update to say if anyone is popping into the Ogauge shoe in Newport today, I'll see you there. I'm there on behalf of @Lord and Butler Model Railways with a selection of O gauge goodies.

GI'm looking forward to catching up with @Gilbert Aka Chris Hopper who's taking Lockdown Fen along, fighting a brave 00 gauge rearguard action.

Rob.
