  1. Just a heads up, I’ve spoken to Colin this evening and the MLI magazine is not to finish publication from Issue 246 as stated on another topic. The note on the website re not taking any more subscribers was due to the fact that the magazine was being transferred to another publisher but this is not happening now and the product is staying with Key Publishing. regards Antony
  2. Has anyone noticed the bend in the chassis? I've just got a green small yellow panelled model and the chassis on both sides looks out of true I already swapped it with the one they picked out as when looking closely there were glue smears around the hand rail holes and what looked like paint overspray that had half heartily been cleaned off, what I'd deem a ' Friday afternoon' job, I just missed that the chassis looks out of true
  3. And the amount of daylight sleeper moves with DRS or first group class 57s, like the one today with 57602 rescuing 57312
  4. The second shot shows the locohauled passing the barge as it arrives on Saturday at Dawlish http://antony-christie.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/57305-works-last-summer-loco-hauled-6th.html Antony
  5. Doesn't having two platforms at BA also have the added problem of needing a new footbridge (disability act etc) as barrow crossings are a no no now?. With the two trains and no signalling, what about a catch point on the Gunnislake branch before the junction that can only be released when the token off the Tavistock train has arrived at BA therefore that train is stopped in the platform and the Gunnislake train is running under caution into the platform to join up?, or another idea, the token section is still St Bx- Gunnislake and the catch point is on the Tavistock branch coming into BA with the second token BA-TK. The reason I thought of the first idea is if the TK over runs it would 'harmlessly' back down to Ply, and If the Gunnislake does so, its in the dirt (or over run in the former Up platform area) and cannot contact the TK train. Antony
  6. If anyone is wondering about 2 passenger trains being attached and detached, doesn't it happen at Salisbury with the 159s on the Exeter/Bristol to Waterloo trains? Antony

The sea wall path between Dawlish Warren and Rockstone bridge (including the old Brunel footbridge at the Warren) was reopened to the public yesterday, these shots were taken at Langstone Rock and Rockstone bridge http://antony-christie.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/sea-wall-seventy-5th-june-2014.html Antony

  11. This is only part of the train, looking at pictures online it has been at High Marnham testing (November 2013) and also been at Swindon. Weirdly it wont be in use at Taunton as no electrification plans...(yet)
  12. A link to close ups of part of the Windhoff electrification MPV at Taunton today. this was the five vehicle section dealing with the piling work Nos. (99 70) 9131 001 to 005 http://antony-christie.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/windhoff-great-western-electrification.html
  13. There are two of the first batch of 70/8s sitting near Teignmouth at the moment, and were some of the first trains over the breach at Dawlish, photos seen here Antony http://antony-christie.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/sea-wall-seventies-22nd-29th-march-2014.html
