Hmm, that " bloke in a paint stained overall " was me, and working on it for 13 years does give me a bit of an idea on the colours and experience..hence the visit of James to clarify the colours.

Not a chance of it ever running again, believe me i know. Way to much in restoration costs, logistics, running costs, storage and the best one...we don't want it too ( Crewe heritage trust etc ) lol

Way over priced, we sell them at our shop for £5, the Crewe Heritage Centre shop that is lol

Hi. Thankyou for that Royal Oak. Regards. Brian

Hi, I assume you mean Durham Trains of Stanley & Crewe Heritage Centre ( as our name is on the leaflet, C.H.C ) As i'm aware there is only one "partner(s)" and that's Durham trains of Stanley, Crewe Heritage Centre have nothing to do with the model or the running of the business end of it we just supplied a train for him to scan, nothing more nothing less.

I can't see what the other error is and i look after the original ! Mind you it's hard to tell from a photo what the problem is and i haven't seen the 3D print yet. No doubt Dave will sort it, at least he's picked up on it. Brian

Hi trailrage. Seee if you can get a picture of the other end of the train that would solve the problem. You can then work out which coach is which, then the coach the coach you need can be worked out by looking at it's window layout, ie; 2 windows missing or red stripe along the top it's the TRUB, Yellow stripe its a 1st class, no stripe 2nd class. Brian

Hi. Chances are it was a TRUB 484--, remember that the train wasn't always made up of the original coaches they swapped and changed around, so they could end in anything from 1 - 7. What number you have there or was given could well be correct. Brian

Happy new year to one and all, hope you have a good and prosperous one !

We had one Redgate till it went "walkabouts" never to return.

Hi all. Couple of pics of the APT in just as it was getting dark, sorry for the quality but it was going dark, also the power car 006 now as it's lighting properly sorted so now running from 110v

Hi all. The power car gets a mention in the latest edition of The Railway Magazine, quite a lrge one aswell.

Yes it is Rob. iIm in contact with Spencer now and again enquiring what will happen with the DTS they have, whether it's going on display or not. I asked a few months back if it was possible to pop over he said yes as long as plenty of time is given before hand as like you say, it's shut until 2020

Hi Kit. Yes the model coach we have is from the Silk Mill museum and it was originally fixed to the DTS they still have. We also have the artic bogie that they used, what they did was disconnect them and put the coach we have, into storage. After a couple of years i was contacted by the curator there asking if we wanted it and if we didn't it was going in the skip !!!...needless to say i said yes so off we went with a long wheel base transit van and collected it. I had to take the window out of the APT so i could get it in ! Cheers Brian. P.S hope your well.

That would probably be Andy Stephneys Kings Park or Hatch End. Regards.
