I think there’ll be a shopping list at this rate! I was going to have a bid on 90021 but forgot about it. Doh! Just found it on this video rather conveniently, not the best shots but does show it. -

I don't have any pics unfortunately but it was on a layout called Foxhampton which was at Stafford show last year: https://www.staffordrailwaycircle.org.uk/layouts/members-layouts-2/foxhampton/ I'd quite fancy one in debranded LM, as per when they transferred to Northern so when the pennies allow I think I know where I'll be coming for one! -

More great work! Has the LM 150 got a home or is it coming up for sale? Only the second one I've seen done. -

Thanks very much, I had wondered whether it was something along those lines as to why it couldn't move itself. -

Nice selection of images as always! Out of interest, why can't the milling machine move under its own power between sites instead of being chaperoned by sheds? -

Thanks very much Jerry! They're all fairly similar at the moment but hopefully will be able to get further afield soon. Fingers crossed Revolution releases their Drax wagons in OO. -

More great work! These look excellent! Looking forward to seeing how the LM 150 turns out too. Always been tempted by one in that livery. -

This is the path for the 69 for anyone in the locality of it: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/R07745/2021-02-11/detailed?fbclid=IwAR1NYBbCF9Tbl7q9k80WSExNeHDE8DYaiVCfAVrNMbyaVZ3efKwR-bEcsrY -

Looking good! I doubt it on the 90s, I was surprised not to see any or 158s in the last round of releases! -
Top drawer! Superb job on the 50s. The GB ones are how they should have looked from Hornby if they'd done their homework properly.

Royal train arrived back at Wolverton around 17.30. That's it for this time folks! As PerthBox says, I've been fortunate enough to see the royal on several occasions and it has always been a 1Zxx. My notes have a variety of previous head codes: 1Z20/21, 1Z39/40, 1Z60 and 1Z88. As a result, unless you knew it was running or made an educated guess, it's not that easy to get a shot of it. I had seen in the press it was due to visit Cardiff so having seen it had left Manchester Victoria heading westbound I gambled on a Warrington routing and it paid off but that's not alway

I managed to catch up with it yesterday on its way to Cardiff. I took a punt having seen it leave Manchester Victoria westbound on the diagrams which luckily came up trumps.
