You may be correct, here is a DB engine moving the Mk3s from Eastleigh

Been watching the two ex EMT units arriving back at Crewe the past two days - when do they intend to relivery them?

It would be a bit galling for us N gaugers if they did do the 142 and did it all to the correct proportions in a shorter timescale.

I tried to go online at the beginning of the first lockdown 12 months ago, couldn't get a slot so I kept on shopping, to be honest, it's preferable still to go to the shops. I've pretty much shopped for my Mother in Law during all this period as well - two shopping trolleys each shop!

Not RTR - the only RTR Farish 3rd Rail was the 4-CEP But people hope that one day perhaps they may shrink the EPB, HAP and maybe even the 205 from 4mm to 2mm.

It's a kit of some sort, Farish body, looks like an Electra https://electrarail.co.uk/class-414-2-hap-292-p.asp

@Derekstuart, you're probably best to ignore the topic, it's clearly riled you and you're swimming against a tide, typically it is the mods that people will adhere to, not requests from other forum members. If you identify anything that isn't factual and you feel likely to do harm then the best route is via the moderators who can take an impartial view and act accordingly.

Well for once a pair of bridge abutments are there because the railway was removed but because one day it will be there. This is another small step in that direction, Peel play a long game

It's a difficult one, white people may see no problem with these old stories written in a different age. But look at it from another persons point of view and you might believe it is an ongoing casual racism that does nothing to help you feel included in society as an equal member. I would suspect if racism & extremism had been banished from society then perhaps these books would not be seen in the same way, but it hasn't and people are still dying because they aren't valued the same as others and are somehow viewed as being less than.

So my reading is that the PLC is insolvent and the Trust which isn't is now looking to buy back the stock, track and infrastructure so the line can continue to operate in the future.

I know exactly the one I want!!

Why? Has he had a transfusion from Alsonso, Hamilton or Vettell?

Groannnnn

It's fine for me with Norton. Perhaps it is just dangerous for you, Norton doesn't want you playing with knives on your locos

All those times I have been past that site on expresses and never once noted it, but from Google you can clearly see where they were.

I did get a choice but all very local medical centres - some people were/are getting invites to big vaccination centres - which are oddly underused because over 70s typically do not want to travel miles and miles during a pandemic when they can just go down the road. I'm in my fifties, they've got through all the more vulnerable folk where I live and now onto us youngsters.

I was confused, I was thinking pressure ventilated was different to air con - they were pressure ventilated air con https://sremg.org.uk/coach/coupe/coupe_se09.pdf

Here is someone doing their own from old Airfix Mk2s There was also Hurst Models, dont know the current status http://www.hurstmodels.com/4/4mm_mk2_body.htm

I think it's probably alive and might bite,

Mk3 Pullmans began in 1985, before that the coaches were a purpose built set of Mk2 style coaches - but not like the other Mk2 air cons - in fact they weren't even air conditioned and were vacuum brake only.

My invitation came by text and it was a personal link, I had to provide my DOB to confirm it was me and then booked. As a lot of the vaccination drives are GP driven the actual method used will be specific to each GP or group of GPs as many are pooling resources. Mine was booked via accurx which is an NHS service provider. The invitations to the big vaccination centres I would imagine may be less personal and it may be that where the problem lies - many people don't trust random emails anymore and if GPs are driving their own vaccination programmes then most people would prefer to pop down to their local surgery than to travel to a central vaccination point.

The Mk3a buffets were delivered after the first and second class coaches but before the sleepers, so depending on your chosen period your trains could use either Mk1 buffets or Mk3a buffets, after 1979 the Mk3 buffet began to be seen on trains. I can remember Mk1 buffets in the middle of the Mk3 trains.

The LNER were certainly serious about electrification in the 1930s and after Woodhead they would have eventually wired the ECML. But the war came and after it the LMS designed the twins and Bulleid followed with his diesels and the rest as they say is history - English Electric clearly had friends in high places

Something different about Andy, can't quite put my finger on it.

Wouldn't mind one, with a speaker fitted of course!
