I quite fancy a BR Black liveried 10000, with the small Lion atop the small bike wheel.

Anyone interested in seeing b/w shots of these coaches' 1st class compartments' interiors, tune in to UK Freeview Channel 81 'Talking Pictures TV', this coming Friday, Feb 8th. at 14.00 hrs. and watch the first 5/10 minutes of "Scotland Yard, The White Cliffs Mystery".

Any relation Phil ? And, who's that in the reflection ??....Is that yer Missus ???

On the prototype, the battery box cradle was hung at it's RH / inner end from the centre underframe cross member, thus the bolts would be on the centre-line. Note the Vee hangers are inboard of the U/f Truss angle, unlike those of the Maunsell P/P Driving Trailers. This was drawn using measurements taken from BSK Ex. S 2850 S whilst at Horsham yard in 1976. The full drawings appeared in the MRConstructor Planbook No.1, published in 1983. Regarding the 'No Smoking' triangles, these were only applied to the compartment quarter-lights, both inner and outer and not to the outer windows of the corridor. HTH Ceptic

Hi Darren, If you look at Hornby's / Andy Y's list of proposed releases, here. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/140675-Hornby-new-tooling-59-bulleid-short-coaches/ you'll see that there are two proposed brake thirds / seconds for every composite. These will make up two correctly numbered (If chosen wisely) 3 - Car Sets for Era 3 (Southern), and two correctly numbered 3 - Car Sets for Era 4 (British Railways). The reasoning behind this is that previous, numbered. releases of Hornby's Maunsell corridor stock did not tie in, easily, with the formation of fixed sets, although this has become more easier after recent Maunsell releases, culminating in properly numbered, both coaches and sets.

The 3D print sample certainly suggests the former layout (twin batteries per side). Although, the CGI profiles hint at single batteries, diagonally opposed. Note also the different detailed sides for the two different eras. The latter having recessed door top-lights, differing commode handles and reinforcing beading over body panel joints. If reproduced onto the models, it will be an astonishing attention to detail. Well done Hornby.

Or a 2-NOL. Hornby has the LSWR loco hauled stock that these units were converted from.

I heard of a Mexican firefighter who's wife gave birth to twin boys. They Christened them Jose' and Jos B.

Hi Hal. I thought, for a moment, that you had spotted an 'in the background' Cl.442, clad in Malachite Green with three horizontal Golden Yellow stripes. I live in hope.

The livery, so far. Latest photos of 442 units at Bournemouth Depot, as of 19-20/11/2018. Courtesy & Copyright :- 'Son of Ceptic'. 442404 Nearest camera.

Wrong shade of Blue, Again !.

Pity we ain't got a UK version.

Here's the link to the Poole exhibition Chris. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/137387-poole-4th-november-2018-featuring-bournemouth-west-layout/ And a couple for the Peterborough festival. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/129628-brm-peterborough-festival-2018/?hl=peterborough http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/135467-the-national-festival-of-railway-modelling-89-december-2018/?hl=peterborough All the best, Frank.

An interesting artifact has recently come to light over on Network Rail's 'Mediastorehouse' archive site. It shows the Poole and Bournemouth Railway's drawn elevations of both Parkstone (South / Platform side and West Elevation) and Bournemouth (Later Bournemouth West) Station Approach (South) side. I'm guessing the date of c.1898 is a 'cover-all' date as the, now, 'West' station would have been extended and improved by then,1889 in fact. The drawing shows the original 1874 building. https://nr.mediastorehouse.com/stations/parkstone-station/poole-bournmouth-railway-parkstone-bournemouth-11883779.html Regards, Frank.

Afore y'go lads, hows about a little extra to go with aforesaid ?, so to speak. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8xR3ZnYhfyg/UyTqwmBCLJI/AAAAAAAADXo/kgqN1YixY6I/s1600/P1060969blog.jpg (Maybe courtesy of Dapol, at a later date)..so as to make up a pair,.....so to speak.

Agreed. You can only but laugh.... Otherwise,.....It's enough to make you weep.

Long, dark nights are, once again, drawing in. As Baden-Powell once said,.."Be prepared".

A burning question raised on an earlier version of RMweb.. Why did/do the 3/4 Musketeers fight with Swords ? ?

Returning to Hilux5972's original question..... 'What colour are the roofs ?' Cheers.

Damn shame the local 'corner shop' business's are turning their backs onto this trade....Well done Tesco
