Welcome to the Steam Zone young Fotherington-Thomas, but do steady on dear chap, much as we enjoy a good wheeze we are treading on thin ice if we stray too far from the paths of the steam machines. Not only that Molesworth gets the vapeurs when gurls pictures appear on the thread. Prefect and...

Thanks Aiden, Google actually came up trumps there, Thylacine my apologies for doubting your translati:dft006:n

Had to smile there, because I used Google to translate an email to Czech for my friend in Usti Nad Labem. He replied in Google English. As neither could understand the other we both agreed to carry on corresponding in German:D

Thank you, something, Tramway Driver - You've got me there - how about in German or even English?:rolleyes:

Thylacine you really must get your specs fixed especially with all that writing you do over on the Steam Bus thread but I will write a bit larger for you I promise.

Whilst on the look out for more steamy Seck's stamps, I'm sorry, I'll rephrase that, whilst on the look out for more steam related stamps by Herr Seck I came across these two characters whom I shall name Herr Von Thylacine and Herr Von Molesworth. They sum up nicely what this thread is all about...

Hi John, I certainly am, I really don't know how I ever had time to go to work :thumbsup:

So today we head off for a day trip to Poland. An uneventful journey took us to the town of Jelenia Gora, not too far over the border from Liberec. Before leaving Czech a coffee stop was made at a 'Motorest' (3247 back end and me posing there).These roadside cafes are found all over the country...

Thanks Trevor, but I doubt if I spend as much time as I know you have to stitching those beautiful masterpieces of yours. It's no wonder you have to ration your time on here. Mind you I do get the odd nudge from the love of my life when she notices how long I have been in front the old...

(End of Depot visit)

To resume! The orange T2 had been a works car and behind it an all over livery car with writing removed, and behind that a down at heel Communist standard liveried car. This brought us to the back of the depot where we were delighted to find a traditional early ex Usti nad Labem Ringhoffer car...

Sheepcote Street Garage was transferred to the PTE and was operational until 16th November 1975. As well as the wages and conditions inherited from Midland Red there was the high proportion of Midland Red built buses at Sheepcote Street and Moseley Road which were difficult to obtain spares for...

Und just ven you are thinking alles painting aus Herr Dr Church's Dampfbus ve haf seen, along kommen another one ist! Could this be a demonstrator heading overland to Germany? Apparently this is one of a series of 'Views of Transport' advertising stamps produced to display his work by by a...

The only Viable Network Project was implemented at Stratford-upon-Avon Garage in 1975/6 before the change to Market Anlysis Project. It resulted in the introduction of branded networks e.g. (VNP) Avonbus and Leamington & Warwick (shades of the old tramway company) and later (MAP) Reddibus...

The transfer of Midland Red operations in the West Midlands County was effected by actually transferring all of the assets concerned including 119 road service licences to the dormant Stratford-upon-Avon "Blue" Motors Ltd which in turn transferred them to the Midland Red (Metropolitan) Omnibus...

With deepest sympathy. Mike

As Alberta followed my posting with a wake up call to us, I think maybe Scarlett Coaches is best left driving in to the Sunnyton-on-Sea sunset and ficticious Midland Red vehicles left between the pages of the books they feature in.

Thanks for the link Dave, shame but I reckon it will be worth wating for and it gives the corporation time to finish what looks to be good on the hoardings, the fountain and lawns in front the pier. That's another job that must be over running, the time it's been going on. Mike

At last dear boy, I am getting decent parts in Molesworths Thespian Steam Productions - and I don't even need padding out for this one!:beam:
