John Tomlinson Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Hi Clive, You might pick up a Gutzold M62 off ebay for £60-£70 if you were lucky. Gutzold being old DDR improved after 1990. Get 2 and with your plastic skills no probs at all to make a double one. Just to get you in the mood here's some at Daugavpils in Latvia in 2012, courtesy PTG.

I definitely never dated any of them. I'd remember if I had. It's a lovely song about that time-of-life although probably not suitable for Top of the Pops (if it was still going).

One coach is the standard BDTL, the other is DTLV Thanks to M J Collins on flicker. Must admit, his photo gallery has a good selection of east Anglia photos.

I have a feeling that Michael Collins lived, indeed may still live, around Ipswich. There was a time in the '80's when magazines such as Rail Enthusiast (before it became Rail) seemed to have lots of his pictures. Whilst he concentrated on East Anglia and the former GE section, he did cover other areas as well, the one occasion that I met him was near Worting Junction to the west of Basingstoke, in the early '80's. A very pleasant chap indeed I seem to remember. John. Edited March 6, 2021 by John Tomlinson typo 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will post link later Hi Cheesy The parcels version of the 308, no I haven't and for the time being will not be making one , far to modern image for me. They were converted in the early nineties when 310s were being dumped on the LTSR following being displaced by 317s on the Euston runs. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted March 7, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 7, 2021 Ladies and Gentlemen I have received a PM ( I won't mention it is from you, Steve) stating that I flit all over the place, now some of that is to do with you blighters. Let's keep it up. Talking about flitting all over the shop, I got three new books today. BIG THANKS to Cath at Booklaw. Acquired Wagons of British Railways, Vol 3, 13 ton Wooden bodied minerals, by David Larkin. No more making up numbers of these after reading this book, I will be checking your wooden minerals from now on. Back in the 1980's David Larkin came to my house and was chatting to me about going through the records at Derby regarding ex PO wagons and the lack of information, I think this will be the most informative book as yet, basically a lifetimes studying by one person, well done David. British Railways Modernisation-Era DMUs by Evan Green-Hughes. Reading a few of the captions I am not sure I will learn anything new but the photos are great. Southern Electrics in Colour 1955-1972, by David Brown and Kevin Derrick. A lovely collection of EMUs mainly in their natural colour of green. One slight downside, in my opinion is the lack of BR types in the photos in what is a well presented book. One for the bookcase of anyone interested in SR EMUs, sits nicely alongside the two previous Strathwood black and white EMU albums. 5 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesysmith Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 If you wanted to be pedantic you could do the prototype mk2 using the same pattern, as it was made using the sam jigs, an was slightly different in body profile to the production ones. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesysmith Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Clive, I have that DMU book, not much to learn, but the photo collections used are excellent, and not of just the common ones either. Am tempted to have a go at the BEMU. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
