If you go to the Model Shop Guide thread you'll find that Rails were advertising for staff a couple of months back... Look for the comment that I made at the time...

Class 69 - Return of the body snatchers?
Bill Radford replied to Argos's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
A bit of a guess - been waiting for the site to get back to 'normal' before posting. Of course it's Colas who use Eastcroft. -

0Z54 Crewe Electric to Toton Maintenance today at 1024 today through Tutbury & Hatton. 67006 Royal Sovereign. Disappearing in a cloud of dust towards North Staffs Junction! -
Just bought the new 800 201 - lights extreamly bright but no noticable light bleed in normal lighting, very obvious when room is dark. The 'drivers' door seems to be painted clear plastic.

Bill Radford replied to Erlestokemanor7812's topic in Exhibitions
Great show - many layouts not seen before, liked Southgate Park a lot. First retail therapy since Stafford 2020 so turned out enjoyable but expensive!! -

I had a similar problem with Bachmann DMUs (running solo). It seemed as though there were phases of "free- wheeling" down the slope and then the motor slowing the unit down (as if in a lower gear). I solved the problem by inserting foam above the non-powered axles - as the 20s are powered on all axles I appreciate that this is not possible. (Running DC using both Morley and Gaugemaster controllers.)

Orange cantrail lining - when was it introduced?
Bill Radford replied to Lee-H's topic in UK Prototype Questions
Loooking back at P5 books from the 80s the earliest coaches with the orange stripe were the ScotRail Mk3 blue stripe push-pull sets from 1985. No other coaches or locos (apart from a/c electrics) appear to have them in the 1986 book. Seem to start appearing in 1986 dated photos in the 1987 book. -
