Fredo Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Hi, I have a few ideas. 1) Class 37/5’s and 37/9’s. 2) LNER N2’s which would fit with your suburban coaches. 3) BR Banana vans including the Diagram 1/242 versions. 4) LMS Banana vans including the one that survives on the Bluebell. https://www.bluebell-railway.co.uk/bluebell/pics/570027.html Thanks Fred 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted February 9 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 9 I inititially read that as 'whacking it off on the counter'; do not google this... Although I always found BLTs to be soggy and limp, so whacking them on the counter would have been more like splatting them on the counter. The dry fellows were the ham sarnies, all curled up at the edges with yesterday's lettuce. Not all Travellers' Fare was bad; the microwaved toasties on HSTs were ok, and the buffets at Bristol TM could do you a fine Welsh Rarebit, proper ones with mustard an' all. In the 70s the 08.35 Cardiff-Newcastle thought it was running in the 1930s and still did full English breakfast, Luncheon, and Silver Service High Tea. I once worked a military special between STJ and Carmarthen, German Army panzers going for training at Castlemartin, described in detail in my 'confessions' topic and a Grand Day Out. This was booked to recieve packed lunches for the officers and men accompanying the tanks, from the buffet on platforms 3/4 at Cardiff Central which was usually nothing to shout home about, and I snaffled myself one of these as well; it was excellent, all fresh top quality ingredients, a cold quarter-chicken, and a mini-bottle of white wine; someone had been sent over to Cardiff's indoor market for the makings, I suspect. Swapped my breast for a leg, which I prefer, with a panzerleutnant, and not many people can say they've done that and lived to tell the tale... The 'Brunel' restaurant at the back of the lawn at Paddington was pretty good as well, and not that expensive by London standards, though of course us provincials were horrified by the prices. It became a standard feature of club trips to That London in the 80s to Central Hall or Wembley for the show. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 As we're on an Accurascale / Irish Railway Models thread, I recall the sandwiches offered by Irish Rail catering in the early 80's : limp white 'bread' containing a thin slice of processed ham or very processed cheese with a smear of cheap margarine .... hmmmm ................................... but a slab of their Irish Whiskey Cake was a delight ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the emu candidates not already produced, such as the AM hi-density sets and the attractive 90mph AM10s. The 123s had a fair geographical spread over their lifetimes and fall within the very popular WR steam/diesel transition period. I'm for the 124, but it would be interesting to have a set with a 124 cab at one end and a Swindon at the other end, as per prototypes! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm vaguely interested in how we browse differently. I tend to just jump between regular threads, mark the site read after each session then anything new next time is in bold. So I can leap straight to someone posting "is there any news yet" and other unmissable gems. Is there a more efficient method?

Nope. Don't even look at that page! Straight to the Forums... https://www.rmweb.co.uk/forums/ First click is usually Small Suppliers. Then check if there has been any activity on the others in the last few days. Then have a browse through the threads I find interesting such as Kit Building, Modifying RTR, Wright Writes, etc. If there is news from the RTR boys then I've probably already received about half a dozen emails, mostly from retailers trying to sell me it! That's why I sign up for them. So far today I've had WoR, Bachmann, Hornby, Kernow, Gaugemaster, Rails, Locomotion and Key. More the merrier as far as I'm concerned.
