    Obviously couldn't fit a square egg in a round hole !

    Yes - look at any photo of a 13 and you'll see a humungous slab of steel rather than the standard buffer beam.

    Which far too many RTR & aftermarket producers seem not to be aware of.

    "truck", "carriage", "storage wagon" ................... make up your minds !

    Access may have been just for setting up - whatever - rather than riding in.
  6. Wickham Green too
    Rather implies that it could substitute for either the Master OR the Slave .......... sounds unlikely !!?!

    'A few pages back' ? ...... that's half a thread back and fourteen months ago - no wonder I'd forgotten !

    Without reading back through all sixteen pages of this thread, has anyone noticed / commented on the 'ghosts' of ironwork on the replacement door and timberwork on 943009* ................ a nice try, guys - I've just added the freshly replaced unpainted planks on mine. * O11 No.86140 appears, thus, in the original ( 1971 ) GW Wagons book.

    Being VACUUM pipes aren't they a little chunky to represent AIR pipes ?

    ... except, of course when said brake van(s) had to be conveyed empty because of an unbalanced working of some sort. ( I won't suggest that the unbalanced guard should have remained with his van ! )

    Self contained routes are one thing but even the latest - Crossrail - hasn't attempted to go driverless on the pre-existing network.

    ... and with both in operation the "Level crossing stupidity..." would soon get overwhelmed ! ☹️ Though apportioning the stupidity might be tricky !

    Conversely, sometimes you get a conspicuous dated board in front of the wagon that is a repaint date and the wagon itself might be a lot older ! .... yer needs yer wits abaht yer.

    indeed ...... this is my current understanding of the Rapido offer - personalised for the sources I've found and my desire for possible 1948 survivors .... Rapido 1907.pdf

    I thought the question was about options for No.110 carrying Marsh-era goods black livery with double red lining rather than Southern Railway black lined with green ( from New Year 1924 ) !!?!

    ... together with other Lightmoor Press and Bill Hudson volumes.
  17. Wickham Green too
    Well, if you plonk your 00 loco down on P4 track there's always a little - shall we say - excess play !
  18. Wickham Green too
    More likely to narrow in this case - but with those dirty great lumps of rock below the rails I don't think that's much of a worry !
  19. Wickham Green too
    Probably easier to ask which AREN'T ....... I've established that 967422 is based on a 1930 repaint ( though no idea what it looked like before ) and 967425 is based on a probably post WW2 photo - though, again earlier liveries may not have been significantly different.

    Stone sleepers ! I couldn't be bothered to watch twelve minutes of that to find out what station !
  21. Wickham Green too
    Rosyth Dockyard - not the best known of railway works !
  22. Wickham Green too
    At least they could fly .... I don't know how these horses got back on the Brandenburg Gate ! Museum für Verkehr und Technik, Berlin : 16/9/90

    Hmmm ............ dunno about the lavs but I've not heard any hoo-ha about second generation units not having retention tanks - as for First Class, the Scotrail and SWR 158s seem to have such areas but haven't been reclassified to 159s ! I believe the 375s & 377s have a similar difference ........ and the Southeastern 377s have not been brought in line with the native 375s so are pretty well restricted to the Maidstone East line.
  24. Wickham Green too
    Well, SWR seem to have their own 158 fleet now - though I don't know whether they work together.
  25. Wickham Green too
    it was coupled to .174 and .172 was seen heading north through Ely later ..... that's all three ex GWR sets ! ( there's also a red ex Gatwick one around - according to Platform 5 )
