Thank you Tony! I have found and ordered a copy, Regards, Jim.

Thank you Nick, a copy found and ordered! Regards, Jim.

Hello, It's titled 'Stroudley and his 'Terriers' by Tom Middlemass, published 20th October 1995, there's two ISBN numbers: ISBN-10 1899816003 and: ISBN-13 978-1899816002. I bought it as part of my research on the Terriers as I managed to acquire an 'O' gauge one, although I generally model in 'OO' or 'EM' ! There were so many modifications to them throughout their lives so I'm trying to decide which prototype to model! No two Terriers were the same it seems! Regards, Jim. I hasten to add it's not a biography in the true sense of the word really, but there's a few pages dedicated to his career path etc.

Good afternoon Tony, I am currently reading a book about William Stroudley's 'Terriers', the first part being about the man himself and I was amazed to find that from the year 1857 to 1858 he was seconded to supervise the working of the Edenham & Little Bytham Railway! Owned by Lord Willoughby de Eresbury of course, but I'm guessing you already knew that! Regards, Jim.

Westminster for me too, 70s it would've been, with my Father......I don't recall the name of the layout but I do remember us standing there mesmerised as my Father was trying to work out how one train disappeared into a tunnel at the back then another one with different liveried coaches came out the other end at the front......the operator eventually gave up his secret and showed us the coaches that were painted a different livery on either side! 😆, Cheers, Jim.

Chimney ordered! 👍. Cheers! Jim.

Excellent work Pete! Thanks for reporting back 👍, that looks good to me and quite a straight forward swap with a minimum amount of fettling it seems.....I still need to do more research and I haven't made a start on mine yet but I'm off to the Dapol website to grab a B4 chimney! I've managed to find a hardback copy of the Stroudley and his Terriers book which is winging it's way to me. Looking forward to seeing how you get on, it's going to be an interesting little project I think 🤔, Regards, Jim.

What a lovely old building! 🤗, Cheers! Jim.

It's not going to be £16.50 now that's for sure! Oh well, at least whatever it will be I can take £16.50 off! 🫣. Cheers, Jim.

I did wonder after looking at prototype pictures! 🤔, My bits came today, the Westinghouse pump kit is complete but in Southern Railway Green, not a problem to paint it and it did say Southern on the listing to be fair, great service from Peter's Spares! Cheers, Jim.

Hello Pete, That's great! I'll have a read through that, that'll be an interesting experiment with the chimney 🤔, thank you, Regards, Jim.

Love that idea! 😀

Thank you Rodney, interesting! 🤔, Thanks for taking the time to have a look Pete! The pipework on Ds680 does look like it's been 'thrown' together doesn't it!........on the hunt for more piccies now! Lol! Regards, Jim.

My apologies!......It's Hal Nail's prototype picture, Cheers! Jim.

Very helpful Pete, thank you! Also, I was observing all the pipe work on top of the loco in your prototype picture......🤔. I'm sure it'll be an interesting little project! 🙂, Regards, Jim.
