    I am about to fit KDs to a Siverfox J70. Does anyone have any advice for me ?

    I am sorry about that - I was hoping there would be the odd banker required.

    Now that is a proper sheep!

    Just as an aside- going on our experience of the current next door build - some so called architects cannot prepare decent plans and the builders have to rely on imagination and experience sometimes . Daughter ( architect) who can draw up properly detailed drawings for builders, has been very critical of the plans drawn for next door- the builders make up for the plan decifiencies

    Bungus, Do you know if anyone videoed any of your exhibition attendances? If so would you point the way please?

    Bungus, what do you use as a fiddle yard?

    The long way round is usually the best - saves doing again after you have made a mess of it the first time by taking a short cut . In this case it would mean I had just demolished your wonderful new construction, solid as it may be, by ducking under.

    Mr Nuttall, I have admired your baseboards on many occasions so it is pleasing to see how it is done proper

    Cant quite see from the photo, how many wagons have been brought from the minehead - I assume 6- a half load and then back for the other half?

    One story that came out of Long Tan was that officer in charge of the artillery, had served in Korea, - had a "feeling" the night before the battle, and ordered up twice the ordinary supply of the ammunition which arrived shortly before action commenced. and yes some of my mates served there but not at Long Tan

    How far were backing movements with partially fitted trains allowed? this would be on say branch line or dock complex and not within a yard. I am thinking a (regular) movement where there was no runaround at the terminus and trains are backed from the last runaround- distance 500 yards -a mile. I assume it would need to have a brake van leading the backup movement.

    I am overwhelmed with the responses to my question. First of all, I note Catherine spelt with a K and Londoan spelt London. I am hoping for a very rainy weekend (I know Britain is not!)(We have had up to 400 mils and it has put out most of our big fires.) so that I have to stay indoors and can follow-up all the leads you have given me. My thanks

    In Disused Stations entry about Minories , there is mention of a branch line to serve St C's and London Docks built in 1864. The only line I can see,on an old map, is a line going off between Lemon St and Minories going to Smithfield- is there another one actually serving the docks as well as the Smithfield ( meat markets, I assume)

    Kym, remember Long Tan.One of your majors who served in Korea,had an inkling and ordered up twice the number of rounds the night before and the grunts applauded later on . Dropshirts indeed!

    has the crane been built into the new sequence-breakdown train or major derailment?
