  1. A couple of quick questions if I may for those who know more about these things than me: Did any of the T3's appear in unlined black during SR days and although withdrawn before nationalisation, were any of them allocated BR Numbers?
  2. Following the great forum meltdown, I have now restored as many of the lost pictures as I can.
  3. Unfortunately, we seem to be at cross purposes here. I don't want anything, it was you that asked for information from us, I was simply querying why the type of information requested varied by scale.
  4. Slightly confused I'm afraid. The section for scales includes G Scale, but the section for Brands bought does not include LGB etc?
  5. Hi Andy, Thanks for the further info. I suppose if you're not worried about it, then I shouldn't be either.
  6. Thanks Andy, My concern is that the present pop up arrangements will put off new members who, when they first come across the site, will know nothing about being a Premium Member and may not stay long enough to find out.
  7. I guess this is one for Andy, Normally I stay well out of these discussions, but I do have a question. Is it the intention in future to feature pop up adverts (particularly videos as is currently the case) that can not be closed? Many thanks.
  8. Well, I'm afraid it's taken me five years but I eventually found what I was looking for: These are all LSWR signals that Henry built for Nonsuch, the Epsom & Ewell Model Railway Club's 4mm scale Southern Layout. From left to right, the Loop Up Starters, the Down Main Outer Home and the Up Main Starters. These were of soldered construction and built from scratch, mainly in brass with a few white metal castings. The pictures come from an article published in Model Railway Constructor in November 1963.
  9. Not Salisbury I'm afraid, the canopy structure is wrong.
  10. The amount of Parcels, Post Office Mail, Newspaper Traffic and Passengers Luggage that was carried in those days. It also enabled the Guard to ride at the rear of the train without remarshalling when a set changed direction.
  11. First off, full marks to Bachmann/EFE for producing a Set 314 in BR(S) green, I'm sure they will be popular with Southern Modellers of the early BR Period. Looking closely at the pictures, the three coaches are numbered S2981, S5043 and S2679, whereas I would have expected to see S2981S, S5043S and S2679S. I was wondering if any of the resident experts know which is correct?
  12. The railway equivalent of a hydro electric pumped storage scheme perhaps? Run all the units up the line at night, then let them come back down during the day when the demand for electricity is highest.
  13. Personally I can live with the latest green used by Bachmann and I'm now hoping they will use this green for all their new Bulleids. What I wouldn't want to see is a different green in the same train or set.
