  1. I suspect it could be 47355. https://flic.kr/p/nnCEek
  2. And this time courtesy of Colin Duncan. Inspiration on so many levels.
  3. More variety from Scotland, this time courtesy of Paul Robertson.
  4. Following on from the thread in the Prototype Questions section, a variation on the 03 and conflat theme. Photo linked from Loose_Grip_99 on his Flickr pages.
  5. On the Arlington Facebook page there was comment made about Bachmann sponsoring 69009’s repaint, so maybe a collectors club model? May or may not be true. Time will tell…..
  6. Hi Andrew. I’ve been trying to order one of these models but I’m running into an issue on the payment page. It appears that the page has a delivery address option that is set to the UK and I’m actually abroad. So far I’ve been unable to alter this, am I just missing something simple? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  7. Bit of variety and inspiration here. https://flic.kr/p/2hCK5K8
  8. Here’s a handful from John Turner’s wonderful Flickr pages. Does anyone have any further information on the location in the 1st photo?
  9. Hopefully some of our members may be able to answer this one. As the pictures linked below show, on several locomotives that were outshopped from Stratford Works after overhaul in 1990 the cantrail strips were a different colour and not the usual orange. I remember seeing 47007 and at least 2 of the AC’s that had them and from personal recollection (bearing in mind it’s 30+ years ago) I recall them almost being Fluorescent Red in colour. I’ve never been sure and did wonder if they were Rail Red but in saying that the difference is especially visible in the image of 87002.
  10. Thank you for that. I’ll need to try and find a copy of the publication you mentioned. Cheers.
  11. Whilst browsing Flickr I came across the following photograph and it piqued my interest. Do any of our members have any information regarding it? Was it just (part of) a pair and how long did it last in service? Subsequently found further photographs on Mr Bartlett’s wonderful website, apparently these were Lowliners. Never having heard of or seeing them before I’d still like to know how many there were and how long they lasted in service?
  12. Not sure if we’ve had this one. Flickr linked.
  13. Believe you me that’s actually something that I’d thought about over the years (and not necessarily by Mr Hoskings or LSL), especially given what was achieved with The Trianon Bar in the late 1990s, early 2000s. http://www.cs.rhrp.org.uk/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=2273 Not a fan of how’s it is looking these days though…. https://flic.kr/p/2oCyJ6y
  14. How about something unique with the ability to complement existing models from other manufacturers? This example has fascinated me for many years. Maid of Morven. Granted it had a limited operational sphere in real life and as far as I’ve been able to ascertain minimal livery variations but with today’s technologies it could make for a stunning model. (Photos from Flickr) Such a shame that the real vehicle was such an early casualty of withdrawal.
  15. Apologies in advance for the thread drift. The Intercity liveried coach was Mk1 FO E3115. Photo from Flickr -
