Remember when there was freight trains there instead of somewhere to store new trains waiting software updates?

 

 

Love the face on 37 123.

Oh the fun I had building them....others on the same thread are moaning about building coaches, never mind.

Those are damn tasty Clive. 
You need the underframes sorting.
I got two brake/third artic twins off Dereck Lawrence.
My dear feiend Mike/Coachbogie, built them for me.
Lawrence provided standard trussrods, Mike scratched the central trussrods, from the pictures in Jenkinson's LMS coach volume.
Regards,
chris.

Hi Chris

 

Any photos of them, please?

 

Still to do under gubbins, holes in the sides filled, windows to be sorted, roofs to have the vetilators in the right place and right type. The Hornby set needs LMS bogies. Plus somethings called painting, lining and numbering......................... don't people have imaginations these days :derisive:

The LMS only did a few articulated sets compared to the LNER. But they did build more open coaches than anybody else because they were lighter per passenger than compartment stock. This was due to the need to keep weight of trains down ith the low powered locos they had. Which makes it surprising that more articulated stock wasn't built with the savings in weight having fewer bogies. But the operating department disliked these and stuck them in out of the way places, so perfect for Sheffield exchange.

Where I keep finding different bands, quite a few from Spain this song pops up all the time. I do like it but it is not new, it is an 80s song. Alaska y Dinarama was like the Spanish version of Toyah Willcox, the nice punk lady. I find her performances very mediocre, but this song with the bloke who name I have still to find out is enjoyable, very 80s sound, his voice makes the song.

And talking of Toyah, do you watch her and Husband, Robert Fripp / King Crimson for their Sunday Lunch Videos?

What a wonderful pair of........... human beings*.  Hope I'm going to still be doing the things I enjoy when I'm in my mid-60s

 

*If you thought I should, or was going to write something else, shame on you.  Toyah clearly doesn't wear a bra but then as she's always been a punk, I suppose we should be grateful she's actually got a top on.

Enough of this Toyah rubbish.  Here's a proper lady of music

 

 

She's even on my screen saver slide show.

I seem to recall that she didn't often wear a bra either.
