      What do you want to know Rob? I don't know of any website but I do have an actual, real RCTS allocation list for the GWR for 1947! It's not all on the web - let me know what you are looking for.

    2. The Fatadder

      The Fatadder

      Rob, I've always used the railuk.info site. Their allocations are as at the creation of BR in 48, so it must be pretty close to 47

  15. Anyone tried the new Greggs vegan sausage roll yet.

      Captain Kernow

      If the shop assistants in Greggs couldn't pick up the 'sausage' rolls 'because they didn't have the right tongs', then they could have asked me and I'd have picked them up for the punters, in exchange for a nice pasty. And if they didn't have a nice pasty, as Mr Stationmaster clearly implies, then they can give me a gift voucher for Philps in Camborne instead.

      We don't run to leather furniture in Kernow Towers. We still relax on the hard, wooden, upright benches that we bought from Studiolith all those years ago, to go with our hair shirts.

      sem34090

      All of the above. There are too many things that are allegedly 'Iconic' or 'Legendary' and certainly too many people. Mind you, I'm sometimes guilty of referring to London Transport 1938 tube stock as 'Iconic'.
