As the original poster, I'd like to thank you all for your useful comments. Tim

Hi Thanks all for that very sensible advice. The photos will remain in my albums, which is a bit of a shame as some are worthy of a wider audience too. Best wishes Tim

Hi Over the years I've purchased photographs at swap meets, shows etc and wondered if was OK to share these images on Facebook? Generally speaking, there is no information at all on the reverse although one or two might have a name. Some photos are clearly originals sold as part of someone's old collection; others appear to be run off a ngative in quantity. I don't wish to breach any copyright so I would welcome any advice. Thanks in advance Tim

Interesting. Ive always used the plastic primer. I'll give it a miss in future. Cheers! Tim

Out of interest, why would you not consider the plastic primer since the model is plastic?

Hi I've no knowledge of tanks but that is brill! Tim

Great info. Super pic of the 31 and a rake Thanks Tim

That looks terrific! Tim

I would also be very interested to know how they measure up to an OO van. I really like the look of them. Thanks Tim

Thanks very much Tim

Amazing information - really interesting. Thanks so much for taking the time to expand on the arrangements that were undertaken. Tim

Thanks for that info. I am very grateful. From memory the station concerned had 4 lines going through. (2 platform lines and 2 lines through the middle; the 33 came through the middle). Tim

Thanks for that info. Very interesting. I'm pretty sure it was light engine but it was a long time ago and I could be wrong. Tim

Hi Take a look at the track plan for Alston station back in BR days. It was a bit similar with a turntable at the end of the platforms. Tim

Hi All Here's something I've always wondered about. When I was 11 my dad took me on a trip from Newcastle to Sheffield. Then to Boston. Lincoln next then Peterborough and home. (According to my note book). It was second week of August 1968. I clearly recall seeing blue class 33 D6566 with headcode A4 at Boston. I always thought that was an unusual thing and now, seeing this discussion, thought someone might be able to advise if this was as unusual as I thought it was! Thanks Tim
