Hi, I'm looking for this specific type of BR Crew bus, described on one site as a "Dodge 100 Series British Rail crew bus" it's the really "boxy one" with folding doors like a Leyland National bus, Apologies but I can't seem to find a useable pic to post here. 80's Detailed N Gauge 3D Printed Leyland Terrier BR crew bus & Br Transit Mk2 | eBay Like the one above but for OO TIA

Evening, Just reading a classic Modern Railways issue from 1981 and it says BR ordered 236 MkIII sleepers but will probably cut the order due to post Taunton train fire safety improvement costs. How many were built in the end?
-
Just out of interest has any still got or had the graham farish layout as advertised in the back of their catalogue in the early 1990s. I used to drool over that as a young teen. But only ever seen one in real life, ans strangely that was in a supermarket someone iirc.

Well Tbf I was regarding the 142 as normal. As I was meaning when was the last time mil went by passenger train as apposed to a dedicated Royal Mail train?
-
Hi just reading a 1991 article in modern railways which shows a class 142 unloading mail at grange over sands off a Preston to barrow service. so wondered when the last time Mail was a carried on a “normal” passenger service? TIA

Hi, Just modelling a small diesel depot (OO) and looking for some vehicles to park around it. many a depot had a crew bus for taking drivers etc to relieve trains, just wondered if anyone had any pics of what they actually looked like? I'm modelling mid 1970s. LMR. TIA
-
Evening, Am I miss remembering, or were some of the Hydraulic locos which had cast numbers have the D ground off post 1968? Was there an official date for BR no longer requiring diesel locos to have a D to their numbers TIA -
in conclusion, what seems the most likely train? it seems that the headcode is wrong for the train?
-
EVening, rail photoprints has a pic of D77 'Royal Irish Fusilier' crossing Plawsworth Viaduct with southbound 3M27 on 7 September 1968. Would anyone happen to know what this train is from to etc? TIA.

Evening, Colour rail have a pic, Ref: 103722 of DB975081 at Eastleigh on 10/05/1971 in the Blue and Red research livery, I just wondered if that was right as it seems earlier tan I thought the livery first appeared? Further info about the unit on Test Coach Hermes (traintesting.com) TIA Alex

Hi, some pics cropped up on fb recently of diesel locos, class’s 27, 45, and 47 stabled at Kettering in October 1968. timetables of the period included a headcode for light locos of XX95 to Kettering LHS, thus semi confirming there was at least something there in diesel days. would anyone happen to know the years it was in operation and whether it had any staff? And where it’s locos went please. TIA,
-
Really like the look of this and want to get a copy
-
Issue 4 of the BR Chronicles is now up to 1963-67. Naturally the 1963 Reshaping the Railways report features as do other things such as the new Freightliners, the 1965 Trunk Routes report and the reduction of steam etc.
-
Issue 4, 1963-1967 will be out on Friday 26 November 2021.

shorting the track circuit would have shown up in the signal box, and while the track in rear of the “frigged” signals was track circuited, I’m not sure if the portion of like ahead was, as my understanding was that that went into an IB section.. and while the “driver” had only driven diesel shunters, Tbf at the time, 1963, only a smallish proportion of BR drivers on the LMR had, and where are you going to get a recently retired driver with mainline loco experience from?
-
A good ten years ago iirc. I read that the signals involved in the robbery were those on an IB section? Can anyone confirm this? And the signal box involved please TIA

Hi, are the couplings on a HAA wagon of the screw link type or three link with the short and long position? TIA
