    The new profile image just proves what you thought all along: 'Bomber's just another 3rd Class citizen!' I write quite a lot, currently over 380 Hub pages (see the link), a couple of dozen of which are railway modelling orientated under the heading RITES OF PASSAGE FOR A MODEL RAILWAY. Dig in and enjoy the read. Specialist travel hubs are included, about following the Tees upriver, over the Dales and Moors and around Eston moor near Middlesbrough in connection with the ironstone mining. I have included several Hub-pages on travelling along preserved lines in the region. I would definitely recommend a day on the NYMR, and the journey west from Leeming Bar on the WR is an unforgettable experience.

    I've been a bit remiss in answering queries or replying to comments. 

    In answer to "45568"(2/2/2012)  the load in the Parkside ex-LNER Sulphate wagon was a casting, supplied by Harburn I think. The casting's a bit short and I modified them (I built two) by sawing off a few sacks and glueing them elsewhere on the castings.

    "ColHut" (17/4/2016) I haven't got the wagons any more (sold them) so I can't take a picture of the underframe and brake arrangement. The levers were both sides (see Parkside instructions). The bogies were fitted by drilling through the floor, countersinking the holes and using brass 8BA screws with washers beneath the body. Bogies were weighted with lead for a smoother ride.
