  1. This was Intercity charter unit stock for the Orcadian and Highlander, which included Mk.1 Pullman kitchen car 335. The others were 1672, 3045, 3096, 3098, 3100 and 17025. http://www.flickr.com/photos/145367983@N08/49676831082 Locos trapped to the north of the collapse were initially 37414/15/16/17/19/21 and a reported 16 coaches. 156446/57/74/77/78 were moved north by road in March/April 1989, 37414/19 returned at the same time. 37415/16/17/21 returned to Inverness in October and were replaced by 37418/19/20. The charter stock, 6300 and other coaches also moved south at this point.
  2. A check through wagon groups has no active sighting of the BR-built (flat floor) FNAs after 2016, the last of the Procor build (sloped floor) went in 2019 and were scrapped during 2020.
  3. DB999505 was another saloon, same as DB999501-504. It was written off in an accident around 1967.
  4. Saloon 6300 was painted for the 1988 season, the Mk.2s for the 1989 season. Last year was 1994 by which time the green/cream stock was being mixed with Regional Railways examples with ScotRail branding.
  5. This was done some years ago when the Caledonian Sleepers were diverted via Manchester, 67 each end to power half the set and jumpers not connected in the middle.
  6. DB999504 only carried Mainline blue for about four months hence the lack of images. A pic appears in issue 253 of MLI Plus, which I think is the same one from Railway Mag at the time.
  7. Five 156s transferred from ScotRail to Northern in December 2018, the other was 156449. They were all in Barbie and were repainted into Northern white/blue during 2020/21. Don't think Northern has ever received any Saltire-liveried 156s, just 158s and 170s.
  8. To illustrate the point, both tins used were BR blue. Issue was said to be due to poor mixing of one.
  9. Has the move to Warcop occurred yet please?
  10. 325 has been in the set since August 2020 after 3182 was badly damaged by an electrical fire.
  11. From what I recall of the ex traffic spares stock for 50026, there was a red one, yellow one and the one that went back in, yellow with red tips, so take your pick.
  12. At least one of the EWS 73s had a roof spot as well, can't remember whether 73128 or 73131 but do have a pic.
  13. Hattons do both types as spares https://www.hattons.co.uk/stocklist/1000399/1000588/1000655/0/heljan_oo_gauge_1_76_scale_wheel_sets_bogies_trucks/prodlist
  14. Has made the BBC website citing record attendance https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-67115361
