I don't know the area itself, but it certainly looks more like Derbyshire. Avenue Sidings in the bushes, or what remained. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, looking back from the bridge on Hagg Hill, New Tupton towards the bridge which use to enter the Avenue Coking Plant in Wingerworth, much changed here with a new cross over, but the bridge still exists but it is now a nature reserve and the Avenue host a large housing estate 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post woodenhead Posted January 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2023 Having spent some time collecting too many parcels vans, I can now command 6 quite mixed trains for my modest layout And I have some more coming to me in the post to add some Maroon BGs to the mix. Five of the rakes have mid point easi-shunts so I can easily re-marshall them in the station. 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Graham Farish released it in this livery as part of their Night Mail train set and I was often tempted to buy it just for the loco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I obtained a couple of maroon BG this week to add colour but in reality I don't have the space so some other vans will have to go into their boxes and storage again. It's not like Panniers, these things take up space. 🤣 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted January 11, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 11, 2023 But you can put stock away and then swap it with layout stock for variety, so, no, you can't have too much NPCCS. I'm not helping, am I, mummy? 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not helping, am I, mummy? NO! I've already had my eye on a Green SYP Class 24, and then I saw some maroon ex LMS full brakes - I could go on. I did actually sell several cream/crimson BGs and cream/crimson ex LMS full brakes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Geep7 Posted January 27, 2023 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Class 128, one of the Class 116 DTS's converted for Parcels Service and what looks to be an LNER BZ (thanks to the photo in the above post, or I wouldn't have known what it was), crossing the River Thames on one of the many bridges near Pangbourne. Photo would be circa. 1975. Taken by my father (Malcolm Chinery), scanned in from a 1980's print (would love to find the negatives) and cleaned up in Photoshop.
