@Trainpipeman thank you ? The LNER was the local railway company here in the 1923 Grouping. Here in the village we still have an intact engine shed as well as a water tower. Sir Nigel Gresley’s designed Pacific’s A1/3/4 were popular engines here on the Waverley Line. My Great Uncle Davey Wilson was a driver, starting as a cleaner and working his way up. He started with the North British, then the LNER and finally retiring with British Railways. My late father Thor beside arguably the most famous steam locomotive in the world, when she visited the Waverley Line.
Happy smokes

@Ettrick puffer Thank you for sharing so e history with us on the LNER in your area, and the family connection!
 
sWEET vANILLA in my Nording Valhalla bulldog (aka The Doodoo pipe).
So far, a bunch has already happened this morning. Just got off the phone with a rather well known pipemaker, and I'm headed to the museum for more freaking meetings. It's funny, as I am setting there pretending to listen to speakers, I'm really on here chatting with you guys, ha ha.
But, I have this splitting headache...
