I've just been up on the bridge.
All the instrumentation has been replaced with just a red and a green light. Something seems really amiss with the steering and I can't get the radios to work.
Not only that but all the monitor screens are showing nothing but blue.

I'ii unpack the tool kit and the replacement instruments for the bridge and get em in, up and working. Better get theFSL's Fender Strat installed and working first.
Yon loco is carrying it's BR (LNER) after nationalisation number Mr D, so 1954 could be correct.
Here's a potted history of it:

Loco built 1900, withdrawn 1961, cut up 1962.
Last shed Gateshead so 1954 could well be a true date Mr D.
Don't forget to install the big green button Ibbie.

Yayyy ... here we go! Brand new ship, same old captain. Ooops, sorry, yer Captainship, sir, 't was said in an affectionate manner. Don't worry about the thread title, one of the mods will be along soon enough and fix it up. Now, did I remember everything? Punnets full of neatly packed fish puns and our ship's cats. Everything else is coming over with the next lifeboat.
Fluffy ... looking as cuddly as ever.

Spot ... watching the dogs come aboard.

And Sooty ... he's a bit grumpy 'cos his sleep was disturbed but he'll be okay in a minute.

Now ... off to inspect my new stateroom and make sure there's room for the cats; they do like to sleep on my bed.

Blimey, I must dash back and read in! Sunny here.
Right, editing this after reading in.
You were right Drapes, it's just you got up late! You're lucky the mods are lenient with you, informarion indeed!
Anyway, AA SLF and the other people kipping can catch up in the Tardis.
I love that leopard bluey, it really looks like it's got eyes on something delicious. I would not like a big cat looking at me that way. I'm afraid I've rather last my pace in old age!!

We should be ok until tomorrow.

Sturdy little ship by the looks of it.
Fast too.
No SCK about I trust?
Spa set up, and the bar?
Life boats in good order and manned by stowaway?
Cardboard boxes in plaice under the pool table?
'T is all as it should be then.
Now just for a lick of pink paint here and there ....

Morning folks. Full of bleedin' cold, stuffy nose, sore throat, hacking cough.... it just goes on. 
One feels as if one has been transported to another place and is somewhat dis-orientated by the cabin layout - the windows are now on the other side of the room. Mrs 4ma was up and about during the night. I did wonder what she was up to.

BTW Bluey, I've brought my pet Egyptian Mongoose, Gander, with me on this trip, to keep snakes, and other pets at bay. Beware if you mistakenly call him "goosey", as he don't like it.
