    . Still lots of Southern EMUs to do first. .

    In a piece in the Guardian today about the extension of the NRM's Shildon site, it mentioned major celebrations being planned for the bicentennial of "Locomotion No. 1" in 2025. Any ideas for possible models (apart from the obvious) ? .

    . These started appearing tonight and are a nighmare, stopping any use of the boards. It makes a mockery of the boards being open to non-Gold members. PLEASE ACTION

    . DEPENDING on prototype difference and mould considerations, I would have thought that the Maunsell N-class would be suitable as the Irish Great Southern Railways Classes 372 and 393 were variations - that would seem to be a "win-win" situation for SECR/Southern railway AND Irish railway fans. I would prefer a LBSC K-class 2-6-0, but there were many more N-class, and the Irish connection MIGHT sway Accurascale/Murphy models. .

    . AS I UNDERSTAND IT (?) - Lynden Davies (?) joined Hornby and brought Oxford with him. He has now left and things are changing again, but Hornby aren't really telling us what. I expect a proper announcement soonish. .

    . I have ordered my 4-carriage LSWR sets from Kernow, but I really would like a BR southern region version. .

    . Strange comment. Dapol (with the D and D1's) and (rumoured) Rapido with the E1 seem to be doing well with Southern subjects. According to the Wishlist Poll, Southern locos are still popular. Somewhere, somehow, Hornby seem to have lost heat, or been misled. Hope they produce a few money-spinners (whether Southern, or not). .

    . To save Google being overwhelmed ; https://wp-Hornby-2020.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/media/2023/07/42393-Hornby-–-AR23_Web.pdf .

    . Excellent. Thank-you. I will order one when it becomes available. .

    . A request. Have Accurascale produced, or announced a plain green (i.e. no yellow panel) early Class 37 (preferrably with split headcodes) ? I have looked, but can't find any. Thanks. .
  11. phil gollin
    . Class 88. .
  12. phil gollin
    . Well, that's "good". When they do a re-run of the early BR sunshine version they can do any of, 31470, 31246, or 31743. .

    . That sunshine lettering "British Railways" 31487 one looks lovely. Does anyone know the dates for it ? .

    . (If the link works) - see : https://www.langleymodels.co.uk/awd1/index.php?route=product/product&path=190_191_193&product_id=5885 They also so ther construction equipment, including this "small" 1950's (?) bulldozer : https://www.langleymodels.co.uk/awd1/index.php?route=product/product&path=190_191_193&product_id=5884 .

    . The way the funnel is level (?) with the roof of the loco - I have always wondered how the smoke cleared the body and sides ? Any reports from the trials ? .
  16. phil gollin
    . Yes - especially those that weren't supplied despite a long standing order ! ( Me, bitter ? Never ! ) .
  17. phil gollin
    No, definitely an L1, and then an E1. .
  18. phil gollin
    . Why does (nearly) everyone ignore the most numerous British Railways wagon - the humble 16 ton stell mineral wagon ? We could certainly do with numerous triple packs of these to modern standards. .
  19. phil gollin
    . Any update on the R-T-R GNoSR V/F Class 4-4-0 / SE&CR G Class 4-4-0 wheels issue ? Maybe an estimated date for delivery ? .
  20. phil gollin
    . They look lovely. What dates are appropriate for the SECR Grey livery ? (1921 seems to be the earliest possible ?) .
  21. phil gollin
    . An infamous set of photos ( NOT WORK SAFE ) : https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/831087/Doctor-Who-Jodie-Whittaker-Katy-Manning-companion-naked-X-rated-throwback .
  22. phil gollin
    . So, if true, it would seem that Hornby have gone right off the Southern Region, both in 00 and TT gauges. .
  23. phil gollin
    . When was the last new model of a King Class released ? And, of course, no one has released a R-T-R GREAT BEAR ! .
  24. phil gollin
    . (Hope this works) This rather ornate one is near Sutton (South London) ; https://goo.gl/maps/DtjEasAVVUnFgVR87 And, of course, most houses have one. .
  25. phil gollin
    . IF I had a large local model railway club I would be quite happy to leave my "collection" to them (for use or sale) but ..... .
