  1. Could well be, the countdown finishes on the Saturday before Remembrance Sunday. Several railway companies produced/named/renamed locomotives in memory of the fallen. Perhaps the prototype is one of these locomotives.
  2. Thanks for that, I noticed that there is at least three minor variations between different vehicles, certainly a case for getting plenty of prototype photographs.
  3. Thats an intriguing engineers(?) wagon in the background on what looks like a container flat, any idea of what it is?
  4. I wonder if there are enough livery variations to make a RTR model viable?
  5. On the original there is what looks like the beginnings of a dome and outside steam pipes.
  6. It might be an optical illusion but the more you look at the 'countdown' picture the more detail seems to appear.
  7. I'm familiar with the rhyme but for the life of me I can't remember where I heard it before.
  8. I'd add a LT&S 4-4-2T to that list as well.
  9. I thought that the Basildon Asda's had given up stocking GBL, however they had four 'Small Prairies' this lunch time, pity I'm not a GWR fan.
  10. I last used the line regularly more than 25 years ago during the BR era, then I found the staff very helpful and accommodating. The same could not be said for many of my fellow commuters, many were rude, arrogant and ignorant. As I know someone who still uses the service who tells me that things are not much better in that regard.
  11. Looks like Vatican City State will have to go elsewhere for its machine tools. I imagined a machine shop with a line up of cardinals all operating lathes.
  12. I noticed the 'do not hump' sticker on the buffer.
  13. The GER has been neglected for far to long by the mainstream manufacturers, for many years the ancient Hornby B12 was all there was.
  14. Andy, if you want to model a preserved railway perhaps a fictional railway would be better then you could run whatever you like including extinct types.
  15. Oxford delivery dates sometimes seem to be very elastic, some items are in the catalogue for more than a year before they appear whereas some others have beaten the catalogue.
  16. The new releases/models are currently showing on Facebook.
  17. If it is R-T-R model railways I wonder if they will come to dominate the market as they do the diecast market.
  18. It has been confirmed by the MD of Oxford Diecast that it is a new venture, more details will be made available this weekend.
  19. I see at the beginning of the film that the shark brake van is still there at Shenfield.
  20. And if they then tell paypal that they haven't received the goods and get a refund they are guilty of theft. If you have any suspicions when they come to collect the item make sure that you remind them of that and that you will prosecute.
