    Just an announcement to expalin that Highbridge has been renamed " Ordgait " due to the discovery that Highbridge already existed as a layout name.
    It will be featured in next months ( June ) Model Rail.
    Ordgait - translation means .......... The way to the hammer.
    cheers

    Great photograph Gormo.

    Ordgait ..... Certainly different ......... The way to the hammer. At least if I get a pub to work in I could call it the " hammer and sickle " :avatar:

    CheersRon

    Did someone mention Ordgait ??

    I heard Dr Beeching had reared his ugly head and put a stop on this....

    Although Brunel has been raised from the dead and is building a slightly wider gauge railway... :avatar::avatar:

    Cheers, Gary.

    What a top idea!!!!!.....:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

    But hang on????.......that`s really only something you would see on GWR.

    Are you guys suggesting Toto moves over to enlightenment and follows GWR practice????

    Ah yes of course:scratchchin:

    I`m sure Toto would be most welcome in GWR circles, especially after embracing dual gauge.

    I.K.Brunel would be looking on and thinking " At last ......a man with vision!!!"....:avatar:

    Unfortunately Ordgait hit the scrapper a good while ago.
    The bridge survived seemingly I'm storing it for Toto, amongst a whole lotta other stuff.

    But you never know what his next project will be, and when he may start it.
