It is not known for sure, the LMS found remains of an old loco and just assumed it was an L&M and gave it the name Lion even though all the main dimensions are different to the actual Lion, there were 4 other locos bought by the docks which more closely match

Very interesting article in the last Heritage Railway describing the background to this "myth".  Must admit it was news to me.

I learnt of it from Anthony Dawson

Its what Tractors are for!

I've heard of similar containers being used for construction waste in earlier days, from Chatham Docks, for example. Where did you see these?

Wakefield, near Kirkgate, I looked on realtime just after I saw it but no idea which one on there it was

Presumably the Royal Train is automatically prepped and put on standby in this situation?  Mind you there is also the part of the official plan that nobody has picked up on yet (and I hope does not actually get enabled) which is from tomorrow there is supposed to be ten days of official national mourning with ALL public events cancelled...

Hopefully the BBC won't pull Gardeners World tomorrow night like they did with the Duke of Edinburgh, that created a right Twitter Storm in Middle England!

Yes, it's a fairly well known code like inspector Sands.

On public events, the Royal Television Society, of which Charles has long been Royal Patron has postponed events and the BBC has pulled the Last Night of the Proms. 

Technically it isn't 'operation London Bridge' but it is the code name for a series of plans - which are no doubt still reviewed regularly - for dealing with what is to be done in in respect of arrangements etc after the death of the Monarch (and which may also used for other very senior members of the Royal Family).

I have only ever seen, and was years ago involved in updating, one small - but quite important -  part of it and no doubt that is the case with many other organisations which are only interested in their ownparticular part of the overall plan.

Probably both.

last night i looked up the name Cristine Arlum on Twitter and some posts came up going back as far as 2015 that she has used a few names, one impersonating a european teen model Emily and more of these come up if you look for Lisa Jeweller, using these accounts soliciting photos of underage models such as the one used on here

these are just 4 of them

I think we can assume this one slipped through the net.  Anyone having made contact in any way should probably remove all links and reset passwords as a precaution.  If it doesn't seem right it probably isn't right.  

And did it make you want to buy a Hornby trainset or just go meh another steam engine that isn't a Stanier, don't know what all the fuss is about?

i dont model mainline stuff anyway, just noting something i havent done before

Sounds like a report from a "Believe it or not!" book!

TBH  The only time I saw it in the flesh, it was in the workshops at the NRM when they were trying to fix it. Eventually they gave up and sent it to an outside contractor.

Didnt think there was any class 90’s left in Virgin colurs ?

well whatever it was anyway, i dont why i said Virgin 

Ah DB Cargo UK red livery.  Yes that was the loco named at Knottingley.

Sir Douglas, was it taking juice from the ohle or was it running off diesel

dont know it caught me by suprise to see it in the first place

The pans were going up and down, depending on direction of travel.

I have just been clearing loads of stuff which had been left in approval queues for years. They were there for you to approve before they appeared.

thanks, i dont remember ever getting notifacation about them at the time, i didnt know they were thre

better late than never 

The good news from the announcement message is that it is intended by happen yearly

Waste not, want not!

Big mistake. The floor will now eat dropped components now the Haribo have gone.

So now a type 2 diabetic! Bill

Saw 20007 in BR Green livery and 20205 in BR Blue on a RHTT working from my kitchen window today.

Have you checked the copyright on your post ?

As a consequence we're left with very little stock !

Plenty of ex-FGW 150s with pink doors and the odd green 153 my way...

I was on a train made up of a GWR green 153 and a FGW purple 150 in Lancashire. They appear to be bringing the weather with them...

Another airport parking company gone bust?

All the best. Remember to have fun!!

May it be the first of many

good luck and enjoy yourself.

Try PlasticWeld glue - I think they are made from ABS which is stronger than normaly styrene.

Heh that makes me remember that in the summer and fall I can get some free supplies too since I visit a Traction Engine show in my aread where they shave some wood sheets off a log. Darn wish I had gone this year. Not missing next year no way.

Porcy, are you taking the pith?

They have been filming a Man-Picc all week, ready for the live show!

Springwatch for Gricers

Well done you old devil!

A devil of a job!

That's a hell of a number.

Sorry - couldn't resist that one!
