I had to read the Press Release before posting on another forum It has been confirmed that there will be no advertising during live transmissions on Sky, but adverts will operate as normal during repeats (including highlights) I then wanted to see what the minimum I could pay each year was, as a customer of Virgin Media I recently cancelled my M+ TV package, as the only benefit appeared to be Discovery channel and TV On Demand over standard Freeview From the Formula 1 calendar 2012, this would be £150.50, which includes cancelling the service for two periods in June and August Is it worth paying £150 for? If the BBC have the FULL unedited race, then no, however the highlights they currently show are edited Many years ago the BBC (before ITV was awarded the contract) used to show the complete race the following day on BBC Two

I saw this almost every day in Glasgow Central whilst it operated It was unusual in being the only Euston service with no Mk3 FO (either 3a or 3b) The only time it did use one Mk3 FO was when the BFO was not available, and this did occur a few times, in which case there was an additional NHA I also made the trip several times to Motherwell in order to see the Inverness portion, and that appears to be correct, also with just one Mk3 FO (either 3a or 3b)

This is slightly incorrect, and also appears in your article, and have never found any method to advise you of this There never was any additional Mk3a FO in this formation : 3 Mk3a TSO - M3a RFM - Mk3b BFO

I have converted an N gauge Mark 3 (INTERCITY livery TGS) into a Mark 3B BFO http://www.woodhurst.webspace.virginmedia.com/vinyls_17173_mark_3b_bfo_intercity_livery.html Scroll to the bottom and you will see the difference at the guards end Also the vinyls are not correct, but very close (there is a First Class 1 missing) I plan to replace the final photo eventually, the article was put together very quickly

The photos I will supply will show the measurements, as per the rules, and only those dimensions As you can see by the original photo, some of the area beyond the baseboards has been removed The same method, although more extreme, would be used

I would just like to check and confirm another matter of criteria Can this diorama be included as part of a larger layout? I am about to start work on a diesel depot, which will contained within the empty space below No updates will take place on the website until the competition has closed

That was too easy, quick search of google and flickr for "37008 hornet" : http://www.martinbray-ukloco.com/images/class37/37008-tinsley-080588.jpg (need a 37, try Martin Bray) Loads of this same side on flickr but this is the only one of the other end http://www.flickr.com/photos/24292321@N02/3403945359/ Getting the other side was a greater challenge http://www.flickr.com/photos/adogriff/5102711191/

Good find I spent ages looking at all the Class 37 single headcode Inverness based locos in BR blue, to try and find one with an Inverness stag I came to the conclusion it was either 37260, 37261, 37262, or 37263, prior to Large Logo I then tried to match up the headlamp, as 37263 has it in a slightly higher position from normal This then deducted 37260 and 37261, leaving 37262 and 37263 I also looked for the unique weathering on 37263, but the photos I found were the other end and no Inverness stag on the other side

Yes, this looks very much like the one I saw operate around the Strathclyde area in 1989 and was then invited on board in 1990 whilst it sat in Aberdeen Although it was not as clean as that, due to several weeks of use

Now, this brings back memory, almost forgotten about this The only time I ever saw it, it was a pair of Class 20 in Hunslet-Barclay livery, top and tailing the coaches I was invited onboard the set whilst it was idle for a few hours in Aberdeen I've had a basic search (so far), but could search later on today http://www.flickr.com/photos/justindperkins/4432949525/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisboon/4238596386/ This looks like the Eastern region one, operated by Chipman, possibly converted from an EMU However the one used in Scotland appeared to be green in colour, so may have been the Fisons, but also had several TTA tanks (which carried water) From memory, Rail Magazine did an article shortly after the Class 20 locos were released in this livery, and included all of the contractors that were to be used

I can only remember Mark 1 coaches operating between Glasgow QS and Oban / Fort William I remember a small number of Mark 2 (vacuum brake) coaches operating between Aberdeen and Inverness, but the services north of Inverness were also Mark 1 These Mark 1 coaches weren't replaced until sprinters started to arrive The Mark 2 coaches between Aberdeen and Inverness were replaced by air braked versions, which cascaded the vacuum brakes ones to replace the Mark 1 coaches

I've done the opposite and had property back quicker The UV markings were placed on the chassis, hidden by the bodywork For rolling stock it is hidden inside under the seat inserts or the underframe Also, don't apply the UV marking on easily removed parts, like detachable fuel tanks, etc A label is then placed visible underneath This is primarily for exhibitions, making it easy to identify my own rolling stock quickly The thief thought they had done enough by removing this label, but had not checked for the UV mark I had to identify the model to get it back, which was easily done as I advised exactly where the UV mark should be

Yes, I too thought this would be a similar chassis, however on opening up it completely different and seems to be unique to the Class 91

Don't use the cheapest decoder, use the most appropriate In N gauge my preference is the Digitrax DZ123 / DZ125 Where a 6 pin socket is fitted I use the Bachmann 36-558 Both cost between £12 and £16

The Class 91 uses a completely different type of chassis Take the body off one and take a look The normal method with this is to strip, isolate, and rebuild The pickups are then used instead of the chassis

Sorry to dig up this old post, but this needs slight correction Class 253 sets during the 1980s were formed : TF+TF+TRUK+TS+TS+TRSB+TS Later these were revised to : TF+TF+TRSB/TRUB+TS+TS+TS+TS Hence, why there are two First Class coaches visible It wasn't until the mid 1980s when the TGS vehicles were added that one of the First Class coaches was dropped on all the Class 253
