The Waverley 11th July 2016 from York to Carlisle

My MPD and Shed is loosely based on Rose Grove and I know that the shed was 24B from 1950 until 1963 then renumbered 10F until it closed. How did railway men know what the number was? Was that knowledge passed on verbally or written on memo's? Were there signs ever put up at the road or rail entrances to denote the shed number? Also if a loco was assigned to Rose Grove and the shed number changed did the loco have to have a new smokebox sign? Peter

Not sure if this has been posted but my button has moved from the right hand side to the left hand side Peter

Test

Rick, Are the lights operational? Peter

Still have fond memories of my Garratt heading down the South Coast 😄 Peter

Looks like the Yarra

Did not expect to see green at Llanbourne

If you want something different try these we saw in Canada

Just bumping this as nothing heard for ages

Phil, I sent you an email regarding destinations but forgot to include stopping stations. I am setting up from Hertford East to Liverpool St but can only get as far as Northumberland Park Cheers Peter

What a smashing 4 videos. My wife and I visited Embsay in 1998 as its just up the road from Nelson, where I was born, but were more interested in the steam trip than the actual locos but I do remember spending a bit at the shop there.

Thanks for that . Do you know what was the colours of the reversing lever and handbrake column? Peter

I am detailing the cab of the above (Hornby model R2740) and wondering if there are any photos of internal layout and colours. I am converting it to a NCB unit for my Marsden Colliery and accept that the cab colours may be not as per original. Colours for any preserved loco's will be acceptable, Thanks Peter
