Ah but they did sometimes get further than Dove Holes Tunnel 25042 ManPicc 120683 During the Sunday diversions via Manchester

47574 had that 'Headlight' from 1981 to at least 1985 47574 Teignmouth 250681 47574 Man Vic XX81 ? 47574 Man Vic 211085 But do we have any clues about 47523 with the odd lamp on the drivers side. (Similar to the centrally fitted ones to some class 86/87) 47523 Diggle 120783 47523 was later fitted with a blanking plate over the lamp and a standard centrally mounted one.

A couple of closer pics 50006 Doncaster 100983 A cropped one 50006 Teignmouth 030786 Were the loco handrail errors the same at both ends - all my pics seem to be of the same end ? -
Keith. Like you a long term (25+ years) user of Approach. - User friendly and intuitive. Access - user hostile (Why did MS have to redefine all the standard DBase terminology). BTW As an aside my Approach still works even with this weeks updates. (I hope it stays that way)

For those interested in old buses (and coaches)
DerekEm8 replied to Joseph_Pestell's topic in Wheeltappers
When I wer but a lad I can remember Manchester Corporation trolley buses were guided by small Fordson vans in the 'pea supers'. The vans had light bulbs all round the back (must have been packed with batteries) to keep the trolley buses under the wires. (Never seen a picture of these vans -but would love to see one) -
