    Was reading recently that former Government ministers have the right to buy a red dispatch box for their own use after leaving office. Given that there must have been some Government ministers over the years who were model railway enthusiasts, I wonder if there's a dispatch box with a layout built inside it!

    Watched "Racing Legends - Colin McRae" this evening. Very sad to see poor old XM603 apparently rotting away - when I did work experience at Woodford 20 years ago a group of guys had got her into a smart condition and were able to taxi her :-(

      The programme first aired between Christmas & NY 2012. Chris Hoy mentioned his 6 gold medals so was probably filmed some time after July. But if she's been moved and tidied up since then, great! :-)

      I believe she's now only got two engines for starters! Not sure what else is missing though, nor which bits have gone to XH558 and what has gone elsewhere.

    Watched the programme about the WHR and now watching GBRJ from earlier this evening. With Dan Snow to come, is it any wonder I don't get much modelling done these days?

      There is some very good railway themed shows on TV these days, did you see the one about railway modelling?

      Pity the track separation in the station area was too narrow for my idea of using case catches to secure the fiddle yard. Have to see what else I can come up with...

    Well, that's it. No more steam through Reading station now for 12-18 months :-(

    Why is that train manager never on any of the trains I catch?

      Careful! The transport Police could arrest yo for those thoughts!
