Does anyone have any info on what shade of purple the disc on the Enfiled service wore The loco had the normal 'local' headcode ( top bracket) with a purple disc with white border on the RH lamp iron I would like to paint one of my 5in gauge discs to complete the set and wondered what the RGB/CYMK codes might be? TIA

Re the Tommy Brsay memorial Was this recently?

When i was with BT we had the Buzby Train in IIRC 1979 and 1980. First time was at Kensington Olympia and it was stabled in the old milk dock at West Ealing, about 200yds from the office in 1980 I recall taking pics and still have the Buzby tie as well as a name tag.If this thread is still going,if i find them somewhere in the loft, will post them up

Unless it has an invisibilty cloakm i cannot find a sub forum about Train sim progs ( Mods if there is can you shift this please?) Problem with the North London and Goblin Line mdodule Has anyone got this and completed the 'Business as usual' scenario? Three times i have tried and all three on approach to Willesden have ground to a halt and started rolling backwards on full power It is really annoying and i have emptied the Sahara with the amount of sand used!! Anybody else found this? or know how to complete it?

Going completely 180 degrees ( so to speak) Three Bridges at Southall has a road going over a canal which goes over the railway The GWR Brentford branch heading SE from Southall Station

Just seen on ebay album of over 100 LBSC station postcards Just a heads up

JUst a heads up. There is an album of postcards ( i think) of French Locos on Ebay

As the site will not let me put this in the classifieds, i will risk the wrath of the mods on here!! Have been left 42 various books of the above publisher ( and a couple of others) to our society I have been tasked with seeing if anyone wants them so will give this forums 'first dib's ,so to speak Most of the titles are on the USA version of Ebay I have listed all our at about half the price that the dealers want over there. and the good news is the postage will be cheaper ( i haven't weighed any yet so cannot guesstimate how much) If anyone is interested drop me a pm with your email and i will send an excel sheet across It shows cost, title,author and publisher they are nearly all in mint condition and if you google the titles on ebay USA you will see what the book covers It will be first come etc Note to mods if not proper on here can you move it over please?

How many on here are into US steam esp the UP historic collection? Got an idea running around that may have legs

Will put these in the for sale section if there is enough interest, I have been asked to sell a collection of books on various parts of the US system Total of 42 and are mostly Morning Sun publications from about the mid 90s or so and the main are of coverage is the East Coast Would there be interest on here, or is it best to do a job lot with one of the railway booksellers? Feel free to pm with comments

Anyone know the diameter and thickness of the discs used for trains codes in the steam era?

JUst a quickie Follow the signs on the Main footbridge , you exit on the West side of the station and there is a walkway. You cannot miss the entrance just seek the crowds!!!
