Prototype for everything corner.

That reminds me of the time trains were brought to a stand near Bethnal Green because of a horse on the track. "Sorry for any delay but there is a horse on the track" said the Driver over the PA. Cue lots of tutting, eye rolling and cursing about British Rail and their excuses followed by a horse trotting past the train!

reminds me of this extract from the TRB Rochdale 1990 " report via control sheep on line between Rochdale station and Castleton  signaling managers T Shepard & B Wooley in attendance trains to be cautioned from R24 signal "

With the impending ICI hopper from Hattons people will clearly be wanting to model Class 45 + Autocoach + ICI hopper won't they?

 

I think we have different aspirations in that field!

If you've got a red set of birdcages and the Brighton Works Terrier you can make a perfectly prototypical formation =] https://mikemorant.smugmug.com/Trains-Railways-British-Isles/SR-and-BRS/LBSCR-tank-engines/i-WGX9DcV

 

And if you model the 50s but want to dip your toe into pre grouping, that's fine! https://mikemorant.smugmug.com/Trains-Railways-British-Isles/Heritage/Heritage-pre-1972-on-BR/i-6cG2wLp

I remember late 97 or early 87 learning the WCML from Euston to Stafford and the Liverpool driver put me in the seat on an 87 I would get all the taps in then weak field after going through a neutral section then after a few minutes the it would go back into full field and the taps would drop down.

When I got off at Stafford a Eurostar came through a few minutes later so that must have been drawing a load of juice from the wires
