The that span is the old Crosfield siding, it's a different span as far as I can tell and no longer used as far as I know. Is that the one that went into the Lever Bros factory? Funnily enough when I was looking at it on Google Earth yesterday I was thinking that now that Lever Bros is closing down they could have used that line to bypass Arpley Junction and free up a lot of land to the East of the station.

(Network Rail NMT) (Photo used with permission from my collection) In the days I used to work in Maidenhead (late '80s), on arrival back in platform 6 at Reading one evening we heard a warning broadcast over the tannoy for passengers on platform 5 to keep well away from the rear end of an arriving HST. I nipped over to platform 4 to find out why. There on the back of the HST, on the curved underside of the nosecone was a football sized brown lump - a swarm of bees. The train duly departed for London with the swarm still attached. It had been hanging on the back at least since Didcot. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickham Green too Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Probably left over from an LNER order, BR diagram 1/140 comprised 300 wagons built in 1949 ..... they'd have been about 36 years old in'85 - little more than half my age : Who you callin' ancient, then ??!? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmrspaul Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 It would be unusual to see a Brodsworth wagon in poor condition, in 1987 it was like a well kept wagon museum; a lot of heritage railways could have learnt from them. https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/brodsworthcolliery Paul 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Model the current scene and want to drag the miserable real world situation onto your trainset? Add these stickers to the doors of your class 70! Personally I can't think of anything worse, the escapism of the hobby means you can forget the rubbish the real world throws around, but each to their own. I know some people have added social distance graphics to the windows of their model passenger trains Jo 3 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 I am adding this image because I was not aware that 27s and push-pull sets worked across the Forth Bridge, but this appears to show otherwise. D5400 (I think) just south of Dalmeny. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
