A certain excellent Scottish Layout on this Forum has followed this idea! Jim

One I am surprised that hasn't been done is the stretch through Union Terrace Gardens from Union Street Bridge to Schoolhill Tunnel in Aberdeen. Today it is just a single track but in the past had an interesting track layout with the unique partially covered turntable https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17.3&lat=57.14730&lon=-2.10274&layers=170&b=1 Jim

I played about with the 25" OS map and reckoned it could be done as a 25ft by 3ft scenic area 00 gauge layout. With a bit of compression on platform lengths etc it would look OK at a do-able 16ft long. Given the variety of haulage that appeared I am surprised is hasn't been done by a club already. Jim

Prototype for everything corner.

That though is not true Intercity livery, it was described at the time as "Mainline" Livery, which was really just a remnant that arose when IC locos were released from InterCity work and allocated to other duties, but were not due for a repaint into the relevant new livery, these 90s were common at Mossend on freight workings.

According to information widely available online, FU 2 has belonged to Hanna Smart (of Big Top Circus fame) for the past 25 years and is sported by her Range Rover. So I think this photo is a fake. It was previously owned by Fiona Richmond, but I am sure nobody on here knows who that was😇 Jim

My wife's been reading all the words beginning with S in the dictionary. I think she's up to something.

The mind boggles at the thought of the measuring device, are there a range of different seats that you test by sitting on them?

Billy Connolly's thoughts on the National Anthem, think I agree (and Flower of Scotland is no better)..

The wife has been binge watching "The Walking Dead". There are frequent scenes where the characters follow railway tracks that are completely weed free with shiny rail tops, years after civilisation has broken down, Network Rail should ask what the secret is!

I notice that D423 is depicted with snowplough fitted, I cannot recollect ever seeing a 50 with snowploughs from that era. Is my memory playing tricks? Jim -
