Let's hope it's not more duplication most type already done are available to a high standard, making MUs is better choice but the cost of 3 or 4 car units has become so excessive that it has issues as well?

The A303 Andover bypass has an over bridge for the Stockbridge line! It's still there, odd as it must have never had track under it?

Mikkel You idea follows the projected Salisbury to Berk & Hants route which the GW produced a diagram for it joined the line near Woodbrough just West of Pewsey. A map was shown in the Rails across the Plain book. It followed the river Avon all the way north with a junction facing east at Woodbrough. Mike

Thanks for the link, would look superb may order other bits to make worthwhile.

I'm looking for Roco BR 01 Witte style smoke deflectors, as an alternative can l use the smoke deflectors from BR 44 41 or 50? And can anyone recommend a spares supplier that won't charge £17 postage!

So when ebay states 20% VAT is the added on by the seller or by UK customs at point of entry like many items from the US?

Don't know if anyone noticed, and this is applicable to buying from any EU country, l notice a number of ebay sellers now not delivering to the UK that previously did and more concerning is the statement that items worth over £15 you will pay vat at 20% then there is import duty for items worth over £135 on top of that. The carrier will also charge an admin fee for collecting it. This could soon add up if anyone bought a Roco 012 will know!

Thanks for all your pointers, that makes it a lot easier.

In BR Steam days, it appears only open wagons were used, but I recently saw a video showing one of the LBSC vans in the dock siding at Sandown along with a SR PMV? The vans are well photographed but all appear to carry departmental numbers in the 1950/60, would anyone know if they were actiually used (even in service use) away from the sidings they usually appear photograph in?
