      It does pay to go to your current provider with details of cheaper comparable policies. I had 2 companies match those premiums saving more than £60 on each

      My saving was the cost of two Hatton's 48xx's.I didn't bother asking them to match it.

  15. Anyone got the link to a GWR loco allocations website, I can only find BR.

    1. Bulwell Hall

      Bulwell Hall

      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

  16. Chicken filled enchiladas are rather nice and very filling.

  17. The newly available Hornby Bristolian train pack looks rather nice.

  18. I see the BBC is having a season of 'new' sitcoms featuring Are You Being Served, Porridge and Goodnight Sweetheart.They'll be digging up The Two Ronnies next.

      The one you haven't mentioned, Robin, is a re-make of 'Terry & June', but this time it's set in Blodwyn Street, Haverfordwest, and stars the American actor Hamilton P. Academical as Terry and Julia Milford-Haven as June.
