It is with a heavy heart to report that Mittens, the beloved train cat, departed her favourite station for the last time at 1645 23 June 2023. Adored and loved by many. Always missed. Run free, my beautiful lady.

Bit of on train footage with cube. First go at this. I learned something. Some track is quite poor and shockingly laid. It also shows where I need to catch up with finishing off scenics. Any way. Watch out for the cat. 31111 goes to rescue 33206 (2 parts) #TMRGUK #CatsOfTwitter

New loop starts just inside the tunnel and will be hidden along the back wall eventually. I think mittens thought the train was being wrong routed so tried to intervene. Amazingly missed the overheads. #TMRGUK #CatsOfTwitter

OTD 3 yrs ago. 6Z55 Milford-Neville Hill. Castleford. Waving at my now sadly departed Mother. (Sat in car). A wonderful lady who spent hours with me following Deltics when I was just a boy. Was quite possibly one of the finest moments of my life. #teamred #livingthedream

#TMRGUK Hornby class 31. 2x 50. 87. Full 10 car HST. All S/H. Some of my best models. NOT TAT. I try very hard not to be controversial. However, I don't like the way this group is turning. I'm not mentioning names. I'm neither for or against anyone. Probably regret this. But..

So thats the end of that. The last HTAs on the final DB train out of Worksop. 28 to Milford as 6Z66 1033 departure. Both up and down sidings are very busy for HNRC still but since the demise of coal the work just dried up. @DBCargoUK 66131 had the honours. #teamred #proudtobeDB
