  1. They are the original bulk ballast new bodies on recovered bogies and brake gear from 100 tonne glw tanks. Originally hired to Railtrack from Caib for ballast to virtual quarries and modified with the cutout in the end stanchion.
  2. It’s bad enough when people are alive who remember the real colour but colour perception is personal and likewise memories!
  3. Fortunately I moved house as it looks like its planned for demolition!
  4. The APT is being resurrected as part of the rebuilding of Eaglescliffe station!
  5. More likely that there is a shortage of journalists who actually understand what they are writing about; rather like when the rule book was given to an organisation to simplify the English used and got ‘ a signal further beyond’ (or something like that) for a Distant signal!
  6. Small screens and no reading glasses don’t help!
  7. Is that on one of the Chinese imports?
  8. I agree remove the roof and see what is revealed as it may reveal how to get the chassis off.
  9. Please send a phot of it but I fear that it will be one that is glued together!
  10. I fear for its future as both the ferry highs were cut up as it had been assumed they were safe.
  11. I believe they are all withdrawn and sold for scrap.
  12. In the same way refurbished SOV became ODA. However the SJA joining the steel categories was a sectorisation thing as the prototype two scrap carriers were MFA.
  13. Working at height regulations have been a major change affecting signals recently as most recent build and replacement are more akin to street lights and can be laid flat for maintenance ad no don’t have ladders!
  14. The height of the screens tended to be as low as possible to avoid unnecessary breakage of coal as the size of the coal affects the sale price plus avoid refunds/compensation to cus.
