Your sign putter-upper seems to be a couple of letters short of a title - or is that intentional?

Correct:It is the Titfield Thunderbolt - not Titchfield

Yeah, I blame Mike
Actually, it's been a long time since we blamed anybody on this forum, so Mike's a good choice
I can not lie, being dislectic, I copied the movie posters spelling...VERY,VERY CAREFULLY, as I only just had enough ts on the set of letters..

Yeah, one of the 00 manufacturers is bringing out a model of the 'entire' train as part of the 70 years celebrations.The Titfield Thunderbolt - Wikipedia

The storyline is slightly bizzare as the train allegedly travels some distance through fields and stuff without any railway track, but it is viewed as a classic of British film comedy
I love the film , because its a battle between different types of transport, trains traction engines ,buses ect set in a *perfect world* in some small way its what my entire garden railway is based on..
Canale boats, locks , .. railway..road lorry and buses.. set in a perfect world ..1950s-1960s Lancashire...
Had a idea..dangerous I know ..but the wheel base lines up..

Trip to see my mate Paul.. fitting a xls in the wizzy cranks...now sorted..
Pavement got a coat of gray...
Had a light bulb moment with the cheap Chinese led lamps...my problem being they are O gauge..and thin brass tube..no base .no way of fixing them in to the pavement.
But by removing the plunger...and dropping a penny washer on the syringe..open the needel hole up a bit..well..you get the idea
Time will tell..

I see you have a number of French cars on the streets. Who are/were they made by (the model not the car itself!)?
Solido 1/18, or model car group, 1/18..
