A very clean 66729 Derby County is seen working 6A33 14:37 North Walsham to Harwich condensate tanks into Wroxham on 02/08/12 in a very lucky patch of sunshine!

Whilst stopping off on our return from holiday in Woolacombe I was to meet a gent at th previous location before rejoining him here.

Cruella de Vil is my favorite Disney Villain of all-time, so naturally I attended the midday doll raffle on Tuesday, 09/19/2017 at my local Disney Store. The store appeared to have had 8 dolls available. Only about 4 or 5 people in total appeared to make a purchase from this release, which is not a great turnout at all. The cast members still pulled names out in order to then allow each person review the dolls and select one from the cart to buy one at a time. I was called third. The feature I was most carefully judging were the dolls' hair. I ended up selecting doll set #3729.
In person, the 2017 Designer Cruella doll is a lot nicer than any of the stock photos depict. Her sculpt draws from her animated character design, but like many of the Disney Store's villain doll sculpts in recent years, she does look a tad bit more cartoony than she needed to be. Additionally, like most of the Disney Store villain dolls (that are not the 2012 Designer Villains), the relative scale of head-to-body is somewhat disproportionate, so her head looks too big, also making her look more cartoony. Still, I love her cool, confident expression, and I am really happy that she has her iconic half-black/half-white chic bob hairdo.
I am not particularly a fan of her black faux leather dress, but it looks good when you do not see it too close. Her dress bodice has a textured surface and tiny black rhinestones. Her dress is lined in white satin. Her fur coat is a beautiful showpiece. The faux fur is soft and fluffy, and is lined in red satin. She has red stretch tricot opera gloves and red high heeled shoes. They did change up her iconic jewelry. Gone are her turquoise earrings and massive turquoise ring. Instead, she has a black beaded necklace and silver bracelets. Her fox tail purse was for reasons unknown turned black with white tail tips, instead of a white purse with black tail tips.
The Dalmatians are nice figures. They included Pongo, Perdita, Lucky, Patch, Penny, Rolly, and a fifth puppy that I cannot identify by name. They are static plastic figures, nicely sculpted and painted, but not at all a proper substitute for a second doll in the set to justify the retail price of $129.95.
Overall, the common complaint that the price does not match what you get in the set is rather spot-on. I did not bat an eye at it, as Cruella is my favorite Disney villain, but is this set really worth $129.95 + tax? No. It is not.
In a lucky patch of sunshine, 4160 chugs uphill with the 10:45 Minehead-Lydeard service during the WSR Winter Steam Gala 2015 - it's last gala before withdrawal for overhaul.
View of the cut-off channel at Downham Market, looking North towards the village of Stow Bridge - 01/02/2021.
I went out on my daily exercise to try & capture the local sand train in the sunshine. Sadly, I didn't have any luck with that, as the sun disappeared behind cloud shortly before the train arrived. However, I decided to walk back home along the path by the cut-off channel & had a lucky patch of sunshine that lasted about a minute. Good job I had the camera out!
