    45 years ago today, a train passed a 20mph speed board which was out, the next one was lit but it was too late for the driver to slow the train - it hit the TSR at approx 80mph, derailed and killed 6 people. Nuneaton, 06/06/1975

      Can't believe it was so long ago. I made a staff suggestion a year before that for portable AWS magnets at warning boards but got turned down as impractical.:mad:

      Hornby are producing a version of 66731, with a suitable donation to NHS charities.  At the moment, the Hornby website keeps crashing...

    An hour and a bit at the lineside gets me the East Anglia 37s, twice, 2 Flirt and an EMT on hire to GA - along with some 153s, 156s and a 170, not bad while the Mrs is in Sainos clothes shopping

    Found an old coach body (found as in actually noticed) in someones  garden the other day while walking, today I had a (2m+) chat with the owners, it came via horse and cart from Eccles Road in 1912. He showed me the builders plate, a google showed the plate was worth £1000+ !
