Prototype for everything corner.
Rugd1022 replied to jonny777's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
No, it's not the lovely old 1/72nsd scale FIAT 124 Spider... it's the Wills embossed plastic stone sheeting, complete with unsightly gap...! -

Came across this the other day, made me smile... ''This is Jim Rockford, at the tone leave your name and message I'll get back to you''. 😉

Where did you start spotting railways
Rugd1022 replied to lmsforever's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
I was there last night, it looks more scenic in the dark! I started spotting 'proper' in 1971, in the summer an older cousin gave me his 1969 and 1970 locoshed books and I was hooked, then a visit to Old Oak with my grandad in September '71 sealed my fate. -
East West rail, Bletchley to oxford line

I had another clear run across the branch with 6M68 last night, but being about twenty minutes early I was held at Bedford St.Johns for a while. Which was nice 😉. -

I had a clear run across the branch from Bletchley to Bedford last night with 6M68, I actually attained the giddy high of 60mph going over the top at Ridgemont! -
With a fair bit of crossover between the two, not least in the guest stars who appeared in each series, and sometimes appearing as two different characters in the same series! There was an overlap in production of The Sweeney and The Professionals of almost a year (1977 and 78) with the same writers, directors, camera men, continuity ladies, stunt men etc working on both at different times. Some of the Rover P6s used in The Sweeney reappeared in The Professionals too. The Sweeney 'base' was at Colet Court in Hammersmith and although the main base for The Professionals were in Harefield Grove and Wembley they also used Cadby Hall in Hammersmith a lot, which was formerly the HQ of J.Lyons, less than a mile away from Colet Court.

The colouring and weathering is spot on Bob, it's like looking through the pages of one of Peter Gray's WR books. Proper job!
