    Have found some Killin Junction Station pics which you may not have found in your searches. 

     

    Go to www.topticl.com and on the first page go to 'photographs for sale' and then 'on line gallery' and then to 'railway environment' and finally to 'stations'.

     

    There are all in a bit of a jumble but if you scroll through thumbnails you should a few of Killin Junction there - all appear to be taken after the line closure.  Have a look under the other headings on this website as there are other C+O images there too.  

     

    Of course you might have seen them before.

     

    With good wishes and trust you and the family are coping with the lock down.

      Hi Alisdair,

       

      Step daughter seems to be over her flu now, thanks for your concern.

       

      I've captured the images using the snipping tool, so will just use them for reference.

       

      Have you got plans for the scotch derrick in the yard? I seem to recall I have a drawing of a similar one stashed somewhere.

      If you need it I am sure I can dig it out.

       

      Are you just modelling the BR period or will you be turning the clock back to LMS and Caley periods?

       

      Regards

       

      Angus

      Thanks Alisdair,

       

      Thanks for the link, there are a couple of unusual views there.

      Shame the pricing is a bit odd (£1.99 for 6x4 inch print, £4.99 for a download!) if the download had been more reasonably priced I would have bought a few!

       

      All is well here, had a brief scare when we though my step daughter (who lives about 10 miles away) might have the virus, but it just seemed to be a passing flu.

       

      How is Killin coming along? Are you managing to get any modelling done?

       

      Regards

    Hi Argos, I have a pair of 9.5mm drivers you can have. Let me have your postal address and I will get them up to you.

     

    I want to know where all the wheels go. The Association have sold literally hundreds of sets of wheels over the years yet you only ever get to see a handful of locos appearing - somebody, somewhere must have loads!!

     

    I have a small stash but very few, if any of the common sizes left. In my defense I've built over thirty locos for myself and a similar number for other people. I'm currently waiting for 8mm tender wheels and 9mm drivers for future projects but do have wheels in hand for current projects - and the next few locos waiting to come onto the bench are 4mm anyway! 

     

    cheers Jerry

      Hi Jerry,

       

      Thanks Jerry, my postal address is:

       

      Angus Higgins

      The Beeches

      Lake Road

      Rudyard

      Staffordshire

      ST13 8RN

       

      Let me know if there is anyway I can repay the favour!

       

      8mm tender wheels aren't showing out of stock but as Richard Brummitt was also looking to swap some I guess they must be.

       

      The nearest I have is 8.5mm in stock for a black 5 kit that I won't get around to build for at least a year.

      Are these any use?

       

      Thanks

    Could we get Colonel Stephens to build HS2?

      Argos

      not really, the term is used to indicate start of construction. The spade is still in every day use the last time I looked.

      Agreed but once we put spades in the ground we still can't deliver to time and budget.

      I'd sooner get Joseph Looke to do it, he had a reputation for on time, on budget delivery, I wonder what we've forgotten in the intervening 180 years?

    I'm sure RMweb is moving away from modelling that makes your hands dirty.

      not if you look in the right places, but isn't that the general trend within the hobby?

    Road tax refunds. Does it happen automatically when you notify the DVLA of change of ownership? Their website is frustratingly ambiguous on the subject.

    Any good vegan restaurants in the Totnes area?

    1. Argos

      Argos

      according to www.happycow.com there are no vegan restaurants within a 10 mile radius, there are 6 vegetarian cafes though. Being vegan myself I've found happycow.com useful. I've no association with the site other than being a user.

      I felt old 10 years ago when my then 13 year old step daughter asked me what an LP was. This year my nine year old son asked me what a CD was. Felling even older now.
