Puzzled

Post by Puddles »

Wife and I have completed seven jigsaw puzzles since lockdown.most have been country cottages and pubs.
Every year someone from the family buys me a steam train puzzle which promptly gets stuck in a cupboard to be forgotten. This is the first one out of hiding. I usually do the subject and let the wife put the sky together which I think is very fair of me😄

I've got one of the inside of a signal box I was given at least 3 Christmases ago - still in box! Maybe now is a good time to fish it ot.

I have a couple of big railway jigsaws which I made up and framed. The frames were from Ikea and exactly the right size to mount the finished puzzle. They now hang on the wall in the train room.

I wonder if the FS puzzle scenario was based on real life as it seems strange it is coming into P2 from the wrong end and there is a loco on the other line going in what I would say was the right direction, with only a single through line and the signal gantry suggests another set of tracks elsewhere, so how does the RM van get out? Could anyone determine the location or is it fantasy.

Seem to remember it was like that at Slough. Fast and Slow up lines were next to each other as were the Down.

Might well have changed now.

Pendon Museum has placed some digital jigsaw puzzles on their website. This link will take you there. Plenty to do - and free. R-
