We found this Bedford VAM14/Viceroy transporter on an industrial estate in Gloucester some years ago. As can be seen, it was very straight and had a rather nice paint job. Sorry, it was a dull day so not a great shot!
Here is a link to an earlier photo of it in service as a coach.
A hefty snowfall always tidies up the look of a railway. This is GWR's 165112 descending from Betchworth towards Dorking on the North Downs line.

Last Friday was cleaning day at my office. I tidied up and have taken photos to remind me to keep it clean and organized.
Thankfully, my wife is always keen to ensure that all is nice and tidy in the kitchen!

A Magical Production
The last part of the tour is a fitting tribute to the crew and cast of the most popular film franchise of all time. A much tidier recreation of the interior of Ollivander’s Wand shop featuring thousands of wands and wand boxes, each distinctive and one of a kind. In the world of Harry Potter, the wand selects the wizard and each of the wands seen here has selected one of the people who helped to build the magical world depicted in the beloved films. Each box bears the name of one of the more than 4,000 talented, passionate and dedicated people who worked on the Harry Potter motion pictures over a decade of extraordinary filmmaking.
People the world-over have been enchanted by the Harry Potter films for nearly a decade. The wonderful special effects and amazing creatures have made this iconic series beloved to both young and old - and now, for the first time, the doors are going to be opened for everyone at the studio where it first began. You'll have the chance to go behind-the-scenes and see many things the camera never showed. From breathtakingly detailed sets to stunning costumes, props and animatronics, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London provides a unique showcase of the extraordinary British artistry, technology and talent that went into making the most successful film series of all time. Secrets will be revealed.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour London provides an amazing new opportunity to explore the magic of the Harry Potter films - the most successful film series of all time. This unique walking tour takes you behind-the-scenes and showcases a huge array of beautiful sets, costumes and props. It also reveals some closely guarded secrets, including facts about the special effects and animatronics that made these films so hugely popular all over the world.
Here are just some of the things you can expect to see and do:
- Step inside and discover the actual Great Hall.
- Explore Dumbledore’s office and discover never-before-seen treasures.
- Step onto the famous cobbles of Diagon Alley, featuring the shop fronts of Ollivanders wand shop, Flourish and Blotts, the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, Gringotts Wizarding Bank and Eeylops Owl Emporium.
- See iconic props from the films, including Harry’s Nimbus 2000 and Hagrid’s motorcycle.
- Learn how creatures were brought to life with green screen effects, animatronics and life-sized models.
- Rediscover other memorable sets from the film series, including the Gryffindor common room, the boys’ dormitory, Hagrid’s hut, Potion’s classroom and Professor Umbridge’s office at the Ministry of Magic.
Located just 20 miles from the heart of London at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, the very place where it all began and where all eight of the Harry Potter films were brought to life. The Studio Tour is accessible to everyone and promises to be a truly memorable experience - whether you’re an avid Harry Potter fan, an all-round movie buff or you just want to try something that’s a little bit different.
The tour is estimated to take approximately three hours (I was in there for 5 hours!), however, as the tour is mostly self guided, you are free to explore the attraction at your own pace. During this time you will be able to see many of the best-loved sets and exhibits from the films. Unique and precious items from the films will also be on display, alongside some exciting hands-on interactive exhibits that will make you feel like you’re actually there.
The magic also continues in the Gift Shop, which is full of exciting souvenirs and official merchandise, designed to create an everlasting memory of your day at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London.
Hogwarts Castle Model - Get a 360 degree view of the incredible, hand sculpted 1:24 scale construction that features within the Studio Tour. The Hogwarts castle model is the jewel of the Art Department having been built for the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. It took 86 artists and crew members to construct the first version which was then rebuilt and altered many times over for the next seven films. The work was so extensive that if one was to add all the man hours that have gone into building and reworking the model, it would come to over 74 years. The model was used for aerial photography, and was digitally scanned for CGI scenes.
The model, which sits at nearly 50 feet in diameter, has over 2,500 fibre optic lights that simulate lanterns and torches and even gave the illusion of students passing through hallways in the films. To show off the lighting to full effect a day-to-night cycle will take place every four minutes so you can experience its full beauty.
An amazing amount of detail went into the making of the model: all the doors are hinged, real plants are used for landscaping and miniature birds are housed in the Owlery. To make the model appear even more realistic, artists rebuilt miniature versions of the courtyards from Alnwick Castle and Durham Cathedral, where scenes from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone were shot.
Well, tidy for now.
Everything is now organised and packed away into the new cupboards.
The next task is to build the cyc wall at the far end of the studio. My parents are coming over tomorrow as my Dad has already made the two foot radius sections that will support the curve at the bottom of the wall. We're having an exciting family trip out to B&Q tomorrow to purchase more materials!
Wish us luck getting the eight by four foot sheets round a tight bend and up the stairs.

I decided to get on and actually do some more unpacking. It may have only been 4 boxes in the end, but it enabled me to get rid of most of the little boxes and actually make my office useable.
Last Friday was cleaning day at my office. I tidied up and have taken photos to remind me to keep it clean and organized.
A very smart AEC Reliance with updated Plaxton Supreme coachwork from the Jarvis of Maltby fleet seen in London back in July, 1992. 957 CXV had originally been registered SDS 8R.
This was just before I removed the elephant root. Not beautiful, and I could use some new waneylap. But ... it is relatively tidy. For now.
Bexhill Bus ran not only its trunk route from Hastings to Bexhill and Sidley (the 97) but a number of town services and a handful of tendered routes. Six elderly Bristol REs were the core fleet, however the fleet also contained a minibus and this Bristol LH. It was probably tidier than the rest of the fleet, which may have something to do with it doing significantly less work than the rest! Its clutch and gearbox were apparently quite evil, and it was evidently unpopular as a result. Weekends, when I usually visited, it was virtually always in the yard and I don't think I ever saw it used. The advertisers seem not to have been getting great value for money. Nonetheless it had been in the fleet a long time, having arrived in the Bexhill Bus Co. fleet in 1981. It originated with Hants & Dorset as no. 3517. Here it is seen parked up in the yard in early 1993.
Once a Western Welsh/National Welsh stronghold, Barry has been Cardiff Bus territory since 1992. Seen near Barry's small hospital on a loop of the town before hitting the centre is Scania Omnicity 732 CN57BJX, seen on June 2nd 2018.
Busing past Bruges and through the Belgian countryside with curved and tinted windows was a frustrating experience! I wanted to stop everywhere...

A little apron for you and sewing machine to share!
I wanted to design a ‘desk apron’ to keep bits and bobs to hand but wanted it to be more exciting than a simple pocket with sections. By making it wearable too I could indulge in bows and frills and give it some character!
While you are using your machine the apron skirt will rest on your lap so your bits and bobs are just where you need them.
The pocket, which is hidden behind the bow, has sections for different tools and notions.
When you are working away from your machine, hand sewing or cutting, you can wear it as you would a normal apron. The table section folds behind the skirt and the big bow at the front continues round to tie at the back. There is a wide loop under the skirt to hold the ties out of the way when they are not needed.
The measuring tape is appliqued, with embroidery floss, to the table section. It is positioned at the front so that it can be used for a quick measurement check when sewing. Handy!
The apron uses 3 fabrics from separate ranges. The feature fabric is from the Punctuation range by American Jane. The lining print is from the circa 1934 range by Cosmo Cricket and the accent fabric is from Urban Cowgirl by Urban Chiks
