  1. I've purchased this wall mounted transformer (16v AC/ 12vDC) and connected cable from transformer to the small circuit board and introduced wiring from latter for AC / DC feeds.

    But, what do I do with the circuit board? It doesn't have any holes for screw fixing and no help on instruction sheet. 

    Do I just let it hang loosely?

    Apologies if the answer is obvious!!

  2. A retailer has suggested to me that another batch of J50s are to be delivered to shops maybe this week? Does anyone know more and if so, is this a further run of the initial classes and liveries or maybe fresh pairings of class and number?  Apologies if this is covered elsewhere!  

  3. Modroc is not what it used to be. So unstable under exhibition lighting!

    Your roving reporter visited the site today, 18/2/13, at about 0915. Lighting conditions murky and grey, pretty much matching the scenery. I went to the bridleway bridge at the Thorne end (east), about a 20 minute brisk walk from the end of Hatfield village. There is a shorter route to there from the road to the N side of the line, but for one thing, an earlier photo caption described it as "knee-deep in sticky mud", and for another, it leads directly past the suspect spoil heap.

    So call me a coward, I took the long route, puddly wet, but not that muddy. The fields were pretty waterlogged, but the drainage ditches were mostly in good nick that side. Didn't go to the station, as I had a pressing appointment (well, meeting Mallard60022 near Gainsborough to watch some of the diverted traffic, but that's another story). In any case, the station is a bit further from the slip, and in the murk, the pics wouldn't have been very good.

    Anyway, on to the pictures, all looking towards Doncaster from the bridleway bridge, located just under 1km W of Thorne Junction and the M18:

    There's a plastic blue fence across the line, presumably marking the exclusion zone until the thing stabilises:

    And the rest pretty much speak for themselves. In some, you can just see the station overbridge in the far distance, and I took one showing the tilt on the power lines. On the last shot, you can just see the pit wheels peeping over the top on the right.
