SR71

Depending on when they introduced NEM to their kits I probably have some. PM me middle of next week as a reminder. A photo of what you want would help also. I am in the UK and I note your profile says you are on the other side... Postage could be an issue.

Hi, you will find many topics on here dedicated to similar discussions. There is no definitive answer. Generally at next overhaul. The railways were/are a business and taking anything out of service would mean lost income so they wouldn't do it any earlier than was required. Additionally the railways only had workshops appropriate to the levels of construction/maintenance they needed to support their business. They wouldn't have had the capacity to take on many additional repaints. I can't go to my books ATM to see when the southern corporate livery was set but you can expect the ballance to shift more towards Southern corporate livery the further you get from 1923. You'd also find pre grouping liveries looking more tired as time progresses. Rule 1 can be stretched quite a bit to suit what you want to model.

Referencing nothing but my own thoughts... If the rumoured mass exodus from Red Bull turns out to be true (particularly MV) then I would suspect some form of cheating will come to light shortly after. Spice allegations fall out perhaps leading to some home truths being more widely known in the team. Those that can, getting out before the FIA come in. Anyone know any dodgy accountants...?

Have to say I presumed the speculation to be nonsense but Newey moving on is a surprise. Could he be going to Mercedes? I can't see him wanting to move to Italy. Toto has just been throwing everyone off with the Max stuff. Although with how rude and ungrateful Max is on the radio I can understand Adrian not wanting to provide him with a car.

In my experience parkside wagons are quite light. You'll likely need a weighty load to keep that wagon from derailing.

I'm in my 4th decade and remember slam door stock coming through East Croydon although admittedly I was sub 5. All the doors opening on a still moving train made a lasting impression!

Disused bay platform at West Worthing. Very overgrown at the moment but when I last looked in the winter it was still connected to the carriage sidings although with no provision for outside third!

Presumably the person out front didn't have any controls other than steering? I don't fancy sitting there on a downhill section if it runs away!

Never write off to malevolence what could have been caused by incompetence. At least they got a run although there is mention here of it not completing the tour. Lack of crew/fuel after the issues in the morning?

Back on route, just through Raynes Park. That's going to be a spirited run to Bristol I feel!

Looks like it's late away? No live timings showing up yet?

Steam today. Horsham to Bristol pulled by Mayflower. https://www.railadvent.co.uk/events/steam-dreams-horsham-and-chichester-to-bath-and-bristol

Thanks @rasalmon Looks like they have repainted the smoke box for the trip. Looks really good.

I believe Fenchurch goes on holiday to the SVR today. Family commitments will keep me away but hopefully some here will get pictures/video.
