like 'CHARD, i may be misremembering, but i have in my head the logo for fife forge, was there not a red or orange background and an arrow pointing? i suppose what we'd now call a 'corporate' logo. thought i might've found an image online - alas no, but there is an archive 'glasgow herald' article from nov. 1967 on a new forging press: http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=e35AAAAAIBAJ&sjid=uqMMAAAAIBAJ&pg=2620%2C1587883 EDIT: just noticed it's a whole page article and shows the 'logo' on the right of the page

streetview here: http://goo.gl/maps/lSwTa satellite image: http://goo.gl/maps/ijEup 1938 OS map shows an 'ingleside works' but as you say, it seems to have been altered since then: http://maps.nls.uk/os/25inch-2nd-and-later/view/?jp2=82881930#jp2=82881930&zoom=5&lat=5348&lon=2352&layers=BT interesting how one house has remained standing and that there used to be railway lines curving round to connect with the mainline. i think this used to got to the dunnikier colliery unfortuneately that's the latest large scale map at the NLS and old-maps doesn't let you zoom in enough on the 1:10560 ones EDIT: found an entry on RCAHMS, it was a steelworks: http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/83547/digital_images/kirkcaldy+5+smeaton+road+ingleside+steel+works/?&sort_typ=archnum&sort_ord=desc EDIT again: was designed by william syme in 1912 and is now 'B' listed: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/sc-45548-5-smeaton-road-glenaber-engineers-polychr

do the voyagers still have problems when the waves go over them? IIRC the water would get into various roof-mounted gubbins and cause havoc

jim binnie's dieselimagegallery is gradually filling up. D5124/5 in 1963, on a pass service with TPO on the front: http://dieselimagegallery.com/detail/218-D5124;D5124-at-Aviemore;class-242;24124;Type-2;Green-livery;Green;Aviemore;Aviemore-station;591963;1963;D5124_1_S;0005;Norman-E.-Preedy.html

blue for you - status quo

if the list keeps going, might have to invest in something like this! http://i01.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/528266847/cargo_tricycle_three_wheels_motorcycle_with_150cc.jpg testament to your wonderful modelling brian - as great as your models look on here, there are plenty of folk eager to see them close-up!

much as i hate the reference to 'invisible ink' yes, the title of the thread is all to cock now, but it wasn't before presumably would take western sunset or andy Y/ mods to change it

the setting is realistic enough, but the deltic is obviously straight out-of-the-box. the BSK just looks grubby and they didn't have the correct sheet for the number, so have used smaller ones they had instead. and i don't think they've finished the layout yet as the backscene goes right across the tracks just before the curve! http://www.flickr.com/photos/blue-diesels/8364519516/in/photostream/

someone posted a question about when the lines over dunnikier rd. went from 4 to 2 (or more accurately 2+2 to 2+0) after the harbour branch closed (possibly on the harbour branch thread!) noticed a while back that the bridge over dunnikier rd. has old and new styles of bridge, depending on what side you view it from going down the road towards the traffic lights, modern concrete bridge deck under the ECML: http://goo.gl/maps/HUyUB (notice the state of the chevroned bit - usually skelped about once a year when a stagecoach double-decker tries to go somewhere he shouldn't even be near!) going up from the traffic lights, older metalwork version is still in place: http://goo.gl/maps/ScMoq i suppose there's no point renewing it if it's not used anymore looking underneath gives some good detail: http://goo.gl/maps/W0P4g (it is straight, just the joining of the photos makes it look kinked) not too clear, but an interesting detail for modellers?: http://goo.gl/maps/2NR7E and finally, i don't know how common this sort of reinforcement was?: http://goo.gl/maps/eu0uM interesting that it was required on one side only

excellent pics neilgue! welcome to the forum and the thread too i was always sure i had seen a small diesel at muir's, but had never heard any more about it, only the steamers.

western sunset's opening post said: if the topic has drifted, it's only as far as any prototype pic looking like a model - they don't have to look too perfect, just any combination of view/subject/lighting etc

the three cl.131 converts were 55013-15 (not 11-13 mentioned in the scot-rail link above) as mentioned they had doors sealed/modified and windows either painted out or meshed over inside 55014 http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertcwp/6132770705/in/set-72157603648796702 i wonder if an alternative number would be better for the blue ScR one, i.e. one which wasn't modified? excellent news anyway, will be looking forward to seeing one tacked onto a 3-car 101 on waverley west!

obviously a new purchase - they've managed to renumber it, but could do with a bit of weathering http://www.flickr.com/photos/blue-diesels/8328785291/sizes/l/in/photostream/

notice in brushveteran's pic of 5397 that it has yellow window rubbers - would these have been painted or were they actually yellow? don't suppose they'd go to the effort of changing them specially?

pic of blue buffet in 1979: http://www.flickr.com/photos/brianews/5808808267/in/set-72157626627223211/ don't know if the buffet would still have been in use by this time. ISTR these were technically cl.111? looks like a bit of a scratch set, possibly with a cl.122 substituting for a 101 DMS

just come across this cracking pic of 06002 waiting by the signalbox, 15/6/79 http://www.flickr.com/photos/roger_sutcliffe/5954065600/in/set-72157626278361184

the ying tong song - the goons

had a look at another pic in jodel's set of an AL6: http://www.flickr.com/photos/the-evanses/7211554676/in/set-72157630682271572 looks too uniform to be muck/weathering on the roofdome and i suppose would tie in with the then-new rail blue. sorry for going OT!

looking at the AL6, is it a trick of the light or does it have pale (rail) grey roofdome with white window frames?
