    Nice work, I used to live in Barton under Needwood and went fishing along the Dove, I saw the remnants of old track beds and wondered what the railway might have looked like.

      If you get back to the area, the station area at Rolleston has been cleared and greatly tidied -up by Clive and a group of local volunteers. The platforms and goods yard are well defined. The group have used flowering plants to help too.  There is a public footpath (bridleway ?) passing though the site. Clive's Models are well worth a look if you can get to a show where they appear.

      Its this cheap wire they insist on buying off ebay, won't stand anything above a light breeze!

      On the other hand, the representatives from the NRM had great difficulty in distingushing between The Flying Scotsman (the named express service) and Flying Scotsman (the locomotive). The programme itself was the usual farrago of laudatory puffery for a locomotive that should have been stuffed and mounted a long time ago. Its "famous" merely because the NRM say so.

    3. tigerburnie

      tigerburnie

      All steam locos are famous in their own way now

  17. tigerburnie

    I wasn't aware of this going on,http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-43907937, I hope we do get more main steam in the area

      Seems fairly normal at the moment on timetable sites and realtime trains. I guess things could change though.

      Some cynics might be tempted to ascribe this to the "wrong sort of service".

       

      I could not possibly comment ... .

    Enjoyed Glasgow today and added a fair amount to my stock, special thanks to Aberdeen MRC for letting me run my V2 second hand purchase, to check it was a good runner, which it was/is.
