    Ian, I'm afraid your comments are a bit idealistic, where would they be without their client group to keep the money flowing in. If they don't serve their client groups interests what are they here for.? who are they trying to sell to ? RMweb and other web based groups provide ideal market research for them giving insight into buyers who don't just buy for Christmas and Birthdays but are likely to spend throughout the year. - How many Locomotion Models are going to be bought for little Johnny- very very few ?

    Hi Chris, A little 'tweak' to 20090. maybe ? It acquired '90' on at least the cab end before August 1992. Whether it was for this trip or not I don't know - but someone will I'm sure. 20090,20132 Manchester Victoria 8th August 1992

    Steve, Was it waiting for the fire brigade ? (It had a bit of a reputation as 47590 for self igniting.)

    I could be mistaken but from memory I'm pretty sure that the sloping wall was part of a wartime 'pill box' As seen below

    In the 70's I walked past this many times whilst doing the sea wall signal lamps. The roof is much worse since February. The Hut in June 1985 and is that possibly you up the signal ladder 'doing' the lamp.

    Hi Jason Good to have a natter or two last Saturday. Funny you should change your log in as Andy and I were discussing log ins yesterday. Why do people choose such obscure log in names ? Are they all closet modellers even the 'EM modeller' in the above post. There were a number of RMweb members at expoEM North last weekend (going off their posts) but they were too shy to say hello. Mines easy my name + my gauge + my house number. Funny innit ?
  20. DerekEm8
    Sorry Jason ! Warning OT Gentlemen please feel free, volunteer to organise expoEM North in the future if you feel that strongly about it ! I presume you attended every expoEM North every one of the 30+ Years that it was held in Yorkshire as we did from this side of the Pennines !

    Maybe more like a thirst fought perhaps ?
  22. DerekEm8
    But surely we dont want the frothing and wi** li** season brought any further forward do we ? The topic is about the announcement of a LNWR 0-6-2t coal tank.
  23. DerekEm8
    Why Oh Why does every new model announcement degenerate into a "Wish they had done xxxxx instead" Frothing and W**h List*** are due later in the year.

    Some pictures of 37's way off region 37011 Crewe Works 26 April 86 37011 Buxton one month later 26 May 1986 37025 Man Vic 26 July 1986 37027,37040 Man Vic 9 April 1986 37081,37201 Man Vic 14 Dec 1983 The reason for these odd happenings was usually a visit to Crewe works with a visit to Buxton for a test run before return home. The test run was usually the 'Peakstone' to Hope Street
