  1. As far as I know they’re still going. Their website says copyright 2024 at the bottom.
  2. Hello, In the manual for the YD6016ES-CS, it says that it is designed for a supply voltage of 5V from the s88 bus and that some command stations supply more than that and doing so will destroy the unit. I don't see anywhere in the ECoS 50200 manual where it states the voltage that is supplied via the s88 connection. So it seems to me that this is something you will need find out before investing in any YaMoRC units. Cheers, Ed
  3. I’ve been watching Rapido Railcrew electromagnetic uncouplers being installed on Perth South, and wondered whether they would work with the Dapol Easi-Shunt couplings? They’re labeled as HO but I don’t see why scale matters. I guess it more a question of whether they would actuate the Easi-Shunts in the correct plane and to the correct degree, but I can’t think why they wouldn’t. Surely it’s just a magnet with an off switch?
  4. Here's some vague answers to your very reasonable questions. S2301-01 original condition, so 1962 onwards. Probably quite a lot still like this up to receiving TOPS codes. S2301-02 original condition with Earle's cement labelling. Was Earle's cement based in Hull? S2301-03 boxed lettering, so 1964 onwards, but you'd fancy with them being so new at that time, that the boxed letting wouldn't be applied early-on to many vehicles. S2301-04 original condition but with yellow marker (I've forgotten what that is). Don't know when they started being added but there's a 1968 photo of B784290 with the marker. S2301-05/6/7 with TOPS codes so about 1974 onwards? S2301-08 railfreight so about 1984 onwards? Cheers, Ed
  5. Rails seem very fond of packaging their second hand stock into rakes (a bit annoying when you’re after an individual item) so not the biggest surprise that they’re doing it with new items too. I do like that the triple packs are offered but it would be nice to have singles available as well for those who want them, just as Farish do with their steel minerals these days.

    Hello Phil, D6311 would have been given full width yellow panels when it received its headcode boxes probably in ‘66. D6325 received its headcode boxes when it went BFYE in ‘67. As already mentioned D6324 was the only one of the D6306-D6333 batch to carry headcode boxes without yellow panels. As far as I can tell, the first of the flush boxes was fitted in ‘66. Prior to that they were of the bolt on type and Pteremy gives the complete list of those in his post above. Best wishes, Ed
  7. Hello Roger, Sorry to be so late in replying to your question. I have scans of the North Eastern Region Passenger Working Timetable Section K for June 1960 and September 1960, which covers Arrivals/Departures of trains to/from the Halifax direction, which I as I understand it, covers all activities on the L&Y side of the station. Let me know if you're interested and I will send them to you. The GN side of the station - Arrivals/Departures of trains to/from the Leeds direction will be covered by Section J but I don't have copies of this until after 1962 by which time the timetable was very different due to dieselisation of the Leeds-Bradford-Manchester service in January of that year. The NRM (and I imagine the National Archives at Kew) have copies that you can photograph, or there's always a chance of it turning up on eBay. The NER passenger timetables are readily available on ebay, but of course they will lack any information about light engine movements, ECS trains, and Parcels trains. Here's a link to the Summer 1960 one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166416295107 Best wishes, Ed
  8. For mine I cut the slot in the underlay so that the magnets could sit under the track. This worked fine with code 55 but not with code 80, so it may not work in a larger scale. I suggest that it's worth experimenting with a test piece. The density and type of ballast might well affect the outcome too.
  9. Over on the Rails thread, Roy reported the same issue. He had to drill out the tight screw.
  10. When I went on a weeks work experience at Bradford Interchange when I was about 15 (so probably 1991) they posted to me 5 complementary return tickets so that I could travel for free. I remember them being similar to the OPs ticket except that they were green. cheers, Ed
  11. The latest batch of J39s that were due this month have dropped back to 'awaiting'.
  12. The LMR Central division ran a bunch of ex-LMS non corridor BS-C-BS formations. I’m not sure without looking but it I think that a single BS or BC might possibly be in a two coach formation. That was certainly the case with corridor stock.
  13. Depending on which loco you're wanting to represent, different modifications are required. D6307-D6312,D6333 the circular vent needs to be removed and replaced with the u-shaped plate that covered the bottom half of the original i-shaped vents. D6313-D6332, additionally the 'eyebrow' vents need to be removed. D6334-D6357, the circular vents are actually correct, but just about everything else is completely different.
