    Being pedantic, actually its only Tisbury, Feniton and Whimple. All the other stations will accommodate 6 car trains, but I get (and agree with) what you mean.

    Good, but how long before some bright spark decides that by removing a couple of tables they can slip in some more airline style seating?

    Correct on both points. Purchasing and galvanising an extra couple of metres of steel beam is cheaper than to design, manufacture and fit a bolt on extension and as you say eliminates a possible future joint failure.

    The Media and the BBC in particular seem not to understand standard units of measurement, its either Olympic sized swimming pools, lengths of football pitches or the height of double deck buses, in particular London buses which they clearly believe are different in size from those around the rest of the country!

    Free, with every Scottish holiday!

    Or 'Independence' if the SNP could choose a name.

    If it's that rare is there any chance of someone at NR arranging for it to disappear to a heritage railway?

    And to add to that list: The Branch Lines of Devon: Plymouth, West & North Devon by Colin Maggs, Pub: Amberley 2012

    Interesting to see a 158/159? in BM Depot. Are SWT still using158s on the Lymington branch?
  10. alaneggleston
    As do 159s at Salisbury

    It gives them something else to moan about, clearly for them variety is the spice of life.

    Something for the modern day modeller with a small layout?.

    What's the plan for the Class 360/2s? I assume they are compatible with the 360/1s and does Greater Anglia want them?
  14. alaneggleston
    Have they sold it for re-use elsewhere or scrap?

    You should also look at Irwell Press: Mainline to the West: Part 2 Salisbury to Yeovil Junction (£24.95 if you can run to that). Sixteen pages on Dinton and Chilmark including map of extensive station and siding layout in 1956 and station layouts for 1915 & 1944, the latter showing the air ministry sidings.

    Mine too!

    In the period modelled the river could well have been black and lifeless from the pollution caused by the coal mining industry as where other rivers in South Wales at the time, most notably the River Taff.

    Is this why the HSTs first carried six figure numbers commencing 253 or 254 or did those numbers only apply to the complete train set?
  19. alaneggleston
    Just why do SWT lock this door when F/GWR do not?

    When I retired at Christmas 2014 the Wiltshire engineering company that I worked for had just finished fabricating (not their design by the way) the support steelwork for the new station canopies. I would be most grateful if anybody who is a user of Maidenhead Station or who is working there could post a few pictures on this site. Thanks in advance Alan

    Could someone please advise in which year did BR first start applying wasp stripes to these locos? Thanks in advance.

    And couriers are significantly more practiced/skilled at dropping parcels!
  23. alaneggleston
    Matt, Thanks for that information, I had been hesitating about purchasing another one due to the ongoing damage reports. Order now placed with Antics.

    There is also a photograph of 32644 in BR black with sunshine lettering on P71 in the Tom Middlemass book 'Stroudley and his Terriers'

    CME, Ref your post #836: Looking at the Hattons photos that chimney gap in the A1X is horrendous, an explanation from Dapol as to why the difference with the A1 would be nice but I guess with them that's probably not going to happen.
