Hello,
The ''ships wheel'' what am I looking for in the photos please?
Always ready to learn / see something new.
My thoughts are a hand brake wheel on the tender.
Thanks,
Peter

I agree re recycling though I would not like to be on a HS2 train riding at 225mph on rails made by recycled Heinz bean tins though.
You say this but I have seen trains from Masbrough , South Yorkshire, to Cardiff Tidal from above on a road bridge & the wagons loads where clearly full of crushed tin cans. which left a very unpleasant smell in the air on passing.

when our Moon or Planetary exploration is undertaken, steel with thus be manufacture there, a bit like our old ''British Empire'' days, the ships thus transporting the finish materials will be the stumbling blocks as these will also have to be made there, but on arrive can be scrapped & put in the recycling furnaces.
l was brought up in the shadows of the Blast Furnaces of Stanton Iron Works in Ilkeston ! .
made famous this year with the Hornby Coke wagons..
Plus holiday in Porthcawl for the last 5 years for obvious reasons.

Did a falling tree hit the train. Compared to a train hitting a fallen tree, & you need to see the size of the tree to fully understand the incident.

How strange you ask.
The company I attend for weekly payments has just had a coolant tank assembled & it too the same design & the panels are made of moulded GRP material
some things never change.

Sad then, that you do not all see the woolly cat face jumpers.
They look so real. But very large. Lucky I used above the word CAT !

Hi.
as 3D printed if you ask they may print out at the scale you actually require.
I purchased a model via ebay & asked & got the required scale.
You can ask them,
Peter

AS I would like the WR 2 car, I am going to buy a S/H Hornby 110 and use Ironmink cab fronts and underframe bits.
Who are Ironmink please. Google seems no help.
Thanks

Just about to post the link, modelmasters in Bognor Regis.

Sorry, realise now the postage implications !

Interesting how most of the staff & passengers. are wearing hats. on there way to the pub in question.

I reading above was about to ask if as the wagons became insulated, where they pre-heated at the depots thus remaining hot in transit . If the trend of ripening at home was not started at that time ? Otherwise why actually insulate them unless to stop the ripening in extreme hot weather.
Thank. Peter

Berkswell station
From ''up North'', Marston Green is the station to use & from the platform footbridge you can watch the planes taking off.

Hello.
Could the diverted ''opening of the ''HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT'' money have been better used on building a high speed Railway line to Alfreton.?

XC have run into difficulties further north with flooding between Derby and Sheffield closing the line apart from the ECML problem. I think there have been some diversions over the Erewash Valley but in general Derbyshire is a messHi, just catching up.
Erewash Valley on the Sunday was closed with Northern trains coming down as far as Alfreton. Plus this again Monday.
Sunday though interesting as the trains came into the station wrong line to platform 1.
Monday as increased service saw a reversal at Codnor Park Junction.
thanks, Peter

So I can see coming a wagon with 2 ale barrels on ?

Freightman 7mm Wagons Kits
in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
Posted · Edited by Peter Eaton
shed note.
I hope I can help.
Discontinued about 25 years ago now.
Yes very nice models in their day.
Frank & his Wife selling the kits at 0 gauge shows.
I saw him at I recall Shepshed School shows.
His last kit was a nice BR fish van.
The range seem to be amazingly selling on Ebay at £70 these days.
There was a company that I recall had the tooling & set up a web site to produce them later or may just have sold on the then surplus stock.
ABS models cast the white metal underframes for the models.
Peter
IF I could actually get through the shed door I would have dug a few finished models out & photographed them. Could be my Easter challenge there for you
