Hi.....Living as I do (for my sins) in Wombourne, I wish that the (now a railway walk) line was active, would certainly take some traffic off the roads through what used to be a less congested and busy  village...Love this modeling of what could be..!

Regards Bob

Grateful thanks to everyone on the admin and website teams for the new look and features......

[Western Region Blue Pullman]

If I've read this blog correctly.....you have brought back such a wonderful memory for me an the Western Region Pullman that used to run between Paddington and Birmingham Snow Hill.....when I was a young nipper of 5 years and on my birthday in May, myself, mom, dad and elder brother arrived into Tilbury after sailing on PO 'Himalaya' for 5 weeks from 'Steak and Kidney' (Sydney) to be met by my aunt and uncle, who had booked us on to the said Pullman service back to Snow Hill, a memorable day which still resides in my head and a fondness for P & O, Liners, Paddington, Snow Hill, Steam and the Blue Pullman !  Brilliant Stuff thanks....Kind regards Bob

Hello 

Just a quick posting as I am off out to an SVR Branh meeting, but read with interest your blog....I am a volunteer on the Severn Valley Railway , based at Arley where our time period is mid-late 1930's and we have used dark / light stone / maroon / white and black standard colours....will look forward to reading your future blogs,  there are many fine sites.....the GWR society being one to google.....but always remember never become too 'hung up' on getting the correct shades of this and that.....our station along with many on the GWR network were all too ready to use whatever was 'at the back of the paint shed' if something needed protection...whether it was 'right' or not.....especially if you were out in the sticks where no one noticed!

 

 

Regards Bob
