Wickham Green too

Not quite sure how they've disguised the backscene where the tracks go through - but plonking all those cars together seems to disguise the join in the road.

Can't think of anything to do with pork pies or dog food that runs on wheels !

Not just pre-nationalisation but pre-grouping ! .......... you could even argue pre 1899 !

Don't forget that for most of their lives Mk1 coaches ran with only a few glow worms for lighting and they were only switched on after dark or for tunnels - so lighting would not normally have been detectable from outside well into the blue/grey era after fluorescent tubes were fitted and left on all day.

Too early for Network Rail ......... I think you mean Sarfeast ! 😁

Nuts .......... normally fewer to count anyway ! 🤪

I was thinking 'Airfix' when I saw those bridges, too !

There are also additional stiffening plates at the base of the uprights ............. anyway, what suitably reinforced point of contact would take the buffing forces if the Dellner couldn't ?

Looks about as smart & prosperous as yer average British High Street. ☹️

Not quite the same as http://www.lanarkshiremodels.com/lanarkshiremodelsandsupplieswebsite_218.htm but probably of S.R. origin.

Parcels vans were not Common User in the way that most wagons were, so the appearance of 'foreign' vehicles would not have been universal .......... there were, though specific traffic flows such as milk, newspapers and mail-order goods which would have seen regular 'cross-border' traffic to some destinations - also seasonal flows such as soft fruit.

Indeed - but https://www.facebook.com/reel/402587138839980 isn't going to remove much more than overnight rust !

Exactly the same as with the 'standard' arrangement of end door retaining pins ...... and for the side doors where a - not dissimilar - sliding catch is more common.

... and are set up to recreate the original rail profile ........... the reciprocating thing above would need its 'Peco Track Rubbers' made and maintained to the correct profile - and would need a lot of passes - to achieve the same result.

The ribbed one will be the vacuum pipe and will go to the left of the screw coupling - the plain pipe will be the steam heat connection and will go to the right.
