    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?

    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

    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

    Thanks very much Richard. That info is very interesting and helps me understand how these wagons were used. Regards Tim

    Thanks for the pics! Some good weathering on those. I often wonder what the insides of these containers are like and if they are ever cleaned. I once rented a van and it had been used for carrying restaurant waste. It was grim. I bet some of those containers are also appalling inside. Regards Tim

    Love the modelling. Excellent buildings and clever use of the bottle neck. Amazing!! Tim

    I see what you mean! I imagine I can't post a pic of my book with copyright laws etc but I can assure one and all that my copy has the correct spelling of 'Historical' Tim

    Interestingly my copy is spelled correctly!! We are talking about the Booklaw book by John Hooper aren't we?

    Hi This is a terrific book with great images and text. You won't be disappointed. Just looking at mine and I'm afraid I can't see the howler on the cover!! Can someone advise what it is? Thanks Tim

    Hi All As the original poster it has been really interesting reading all the knowledgeable responses. To clarify my question, I had meant top and tail in the sense that the leading loco would be the only one under power. The rear loco would just be trailing. I've learned an awful lot from the replies on top and tail/push pull and am grateful to all who have given their responses. Tim

    Yes the bookcases are good. But the other artefacts are just as interesting too. There was a young lady interviewed last night who still had her Xmas wrapping paper leaning up against the wall. Tim

    Wow. Some great information guys! Thanks Tim

    Hi Going through old family photographs I've come across these two pictures showing cars in our family and I would really like to know what make and model they are. And whether the cars might be pre war or later. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Tim
