It may have been mentioned but what are the dimensions of Sheepcroft? Chris

I think my photos were lost in the great photo crash so I've created a new album for DEMU 2017 - it has a few photos of Sheepcroft https://www.flickr.com/photos/103471893@N02/albums/72177720310766116/with/34701187520/ Chris H

Quick photo while speeding through Chester yesterday - a disappearing 508

On the dockside at Hull on the way to a second life no doubt...

From the TPE 68 FB group https://www.facebook.com/groups/413897616021577 "Today, TransPennine Express have announced the withdrawal of Class 68 & Mk5A operation from their timetable from December going forward. The decision, we are told, was not one that has been taken lightly - however it is necessary to ensure a stabilisation in the timetable. As it stands, Sunday 10th December will be the last time a Class 68 will haul Mk5A Coaches in passenger service for TransPennine Express."

Is this "clip" related possibly?

Could you be a bit more pacific?......(sorry a pet hate..)

I agree - and then I don't! I use Kadees on British stuff as it offers decent "hands off" uncoupling - including delayed action. I completely get the aesthetic argument - and if I was starting over I'd probably go for S&Ws -however NEM Kadees do allow newcomers to get a bit more play value if TLs are their only alternative - I have had many an exhibition visitor sit down to play with one of my layouts and then go off to look into Kadees. Its not straightforward - British steel axles don't like the big undertrack magnets and some fettling is required for reliable shunting but its an alternative to TLs... Chris H

Glad your eye is OK Rob Chris

Some of the regulars also complained about the lineside vegetation impacting on photography...

Extra large obviously..

Good call - better sorted before your Ovine Expeditionary Force mission to Europe...

Go and see (with the good eye) an optician. Just my opinion of course... Chris
