I do tend once having taken a picture with my phone, send it to my laptop, and then download it to my Flickr account. I keep very few "train" pictures on my laptop. Next time I take a picture that I can/could post on here I'll give it another go. Many thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good look forward to it, the issue I have with Flicker is should it crash as happened before and picture posted from there will vanish as it's not embedded on this site, also If anyone closes a Flicker account then their pictures vanish off here for good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I would like to do the same myself Hi. It’s the Hornby 31 102 (skinhead) and modelled as the un-refurbished 31 418 in early 1987, the Hornby model I found lacking the more prominent un-refurbished details such as the raised body stripe but still fitted the bill to convert to the 31/4, ETH jumper added and hopefully not too bad a representation of the celebrity machine. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly question what was 31 418 famous for and why was 31 102 called a skinhead - did it have braces and Boover boots Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure that it did, I know that it’s going through a major restoration at Swanwick that’s been going on for some years now and includes putting back the bufferbeam skirting etc. Not sure when it last ran but I think it must have been a good couple of decades ago now. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
