So, they've put Terence the tractor's model on the layout and close-up figures of Farmer McColl, his dog and various close-up props from his house and the animals are on the shelves.

I really think terences model should go on the grass and plough talking about plough where is his plough

 

[JamesBondfan4249]

Oh, so they'll a close-up models on the shelfs.

 

[James no5]

I guess it could be possible.

Isn't there gunna be a replica Rosie tho

I think it would be most likely that it's going to be the original prop.

 

[James no5]

Ah ok

 

[Steamenginelover]

Yeh only steam team members will have replicas made for running, any side characters will be the prop and won't be running so they'll likely just be in the sidings or in that case. The rosie that is coming is the one that was at drayton for the past few years prior to the new layout being built.

I did have a feeling that the original Rosie prop would be returning to DM since one of her face masks was there during construction.

I got my daughter and niece today with me at the park and she’s not been for 2 years. I will try to take pictures after lunch. With only 4 weeks left of the main season I can see it opening with the Christmas event.

Look no updates today. Winston was closed and they put a temporary barrier up to the ramp and I wasn’t gonna go past it and get into trouble.

Oh well. I can wait for some updates the next time the Winston ride is open again and the temporary barrier is gone.

Considering how the park like to keep things confidential until they want to reveal them, I take this as them saying they don't want people seeing the exhibition before it opens. There was a situation on Twitter where Drayton were annoyed that people taking photos of the new coaster supports (even though they were out in the open) and let's just say they didn't get the most positive reception for it.

Oh well it doesn't matter. Maybe they have taken down the under construction fencing around it today for more space to work. This may be the reason it's blocked off

Alright then. You are right, we all should be kind to one and other and we are all here for the those same reasons.

Am I the only one imagining you saying that in your Sir Topham Hatt voice?
