Headless?

There is always something that attracts my attention when I go to the Rocks By Rail Museum. Whilst cutting the grass....

I noted that David had arrived and had a rather unusual passenger with him.

Don't worry, there is nothing sinister! This mannequin is destined for the weighbridge where he will be clothed and sat at the desk looking as though he is noting down the weights of passing wagons as they go over the weighbridge. Just one small problem - he will need a head and I am not volunteering for that! In seriousness the head should be easy to find but apparently male mannequins in a sitting position are rare. David went to a specialist who has a barn full of the things but they are mainly ladies. I never knew there was a market for such things but the film industry do hire many of them.

This where the mannequin will end up - once it has a head!

Wonder if there is ahead in that safe????
