In the Vol12 no 4 January 2003 issue of this magazine there was part one of an article on the mechanical horse, can anyone  please tell me which issues this article  carried on in.

Thank you,  Keith.

Thank you for your reply.  It arrived in the post today so every thing fine, sorry to have troubled you.

Your article on Ilfracombe  is worth more than the cover price on it's own.

Regards, Keith

Is there any one else with a postal subscription that as not received the latest issue ?

Can anyone tell me the number of the pannier tank that hauled the last passenger train out of Portishead please, in 1964                                                                                                   Thanks , Keith

Is there any recent developments in this sad affair ?

When I worked in the cartage dept. on B.R. in the late 50s early 60s the road drivers mates who were lads were called vanguards, older men who were ex horse drivers and did not convert to motor drivers were  called van attendants.

Yes, old enough to remember the gas lights in Bristol.!

I was thinking about the cast iron post and I thought they were a dark green. but not sure.

So green it will be

Thankyou all gents for your replies.

Maybe not in the same timeframe, but didn't Trix produce a [56XX?] 0-6-2T ?

Yes,  I have one in my collection and it still runs well.

Max Williams, I was a regular there rom the age of 7 until Max died.   In fact he gave me a referance when I was leaving school in 1959 to show  possible  employers. I still have the referance.

Hi All

 

Looks like my gloating has to stop.

 

On the DEMU forum the announcement as posted by Si Bendal is dated 15th March 2008......cor 3 days short of 11 years. I hope that the wait has been worth it and everyone gets as much enjoyment out of their Warship as I have had over the years.

I have said for a long time that they were announced in 2008, but most people argued that I was wrong !

My faith in Kernow as now been restored,  looking forward to my ARK ROYAL.

There is a photo of the lorry delivering them on their Facebook account. Regarding your second comment about them ever arriving, they must have shared the same feeling as they make a note about two previous suppliers doing nothing other than causing delays and how progress picked up once they dealt directly with a factory.

I presume  that Kernow  had realised that the two previous  suppliers had one thing in common.?

Thanks for the info gents.  Regards  Keith

I do not seem to find a bauxite  paint in acrylic  [for BR freight stock].  Anyone know of this colour in  acrylic.?

By the way I have my own solution. I switch my hearing aids off....

That is the solution I use myself, when the wife complains about time model railways take up.
