Good afternoon Tony, Relieved that my memory isn't completely shot! Believe 60211 did head to that area after Fort William shed closed to steam.

Tony's already covered the numbers, but, if I mind correctly, 62011 had smokebox straps that were wider than the norm, during the late crest period. Might want to have a nosey into that, if it'd be of concern.

Does the sheet include Scottish destinations, please?

Is that the civilian version of the paper that used to have 'Government Issue' stamped on it?

Told my wee son to behave once, he responded by telling me he was 'being have'

Many thanks for this - will put it to use on my rebuilt Coronation observation car...

Having endured a step-mother who ditched years' worth of layout and stock the second I was out the door and an ex-wife who was openly derisive about my 'wee toys', Herself is a revelation: quite happy, and even encouraging, towards what she calls my 'Pinning' (see Terry Pratchett's 'Going Postal'). She even gets a wish granted now and then (having just survived brain surgery and Stage 4 lung cancer, Hogwarts Express isn't a big ask)...

Got one of those, Tony - will message

Been wrestling with a similar conundrum re., wartime Black 5 and coaches, complete with limited edition certificate etc., and hadn't considered that aspect. Mind now at rest!

A Merry Xmas to all on WW - thanks for providing another thought-provoking year of inspiration. James

Polis did wear helmets in Glasgow up to the Fifties... James

Not quite so, Tony. Few years back at the Glasgow show, I expressed an intention to ask you a question. The modeller accompanying me, in his late 20s, grabbed my arm and said 'But that's God, is it not?'

Quite the opposite, Tony! James (friendly neighbourhood book dealer)

K4s were supposed to be quite lively over the flatter stretches into Glasgow and along Loch Eil-side.
