I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but let's just say again the double-deck sheep wagons for the Highland - they go with the Jones Goods and they're different but not too different. Gordon

Mass cull of ticket offices

Cows in cattle wagons - how arranged?
Gordon Connell replied to Compound2632's topic in UK Prototype Questions
Can't help entirely Stephen but I doubt they were tethered, cattle don't usually have the necessary halters to give you something to tie on to and I certainly don't see anything to indicate this in pictures of cattle waiting in loading docks. If modern road transport is anything to go by you'd simply pack them in tight enough that they'd hold each other up and if there weren't enough to fill the wagon, then as you've already indicated you'd use a moveable bar or partition to provide the necessary support. Have to emphasise this is mostly educated guesswork based on no experience of moving cattle by train except what I've seen in photographs but some experience from the farm I grew up on. -

Highland Railway 'Jones Goods' 4-6-0 in 00

Interesting as all the other recent announcements from other companies have been, this is the sort of one I've been waiting for - Scottish pre-grouping. Thank you Rapido. -

That was a jury not a judge and if this went to court (which I seriously doubt) it would be heard by a judge. -

It's my understanding that the changes made were retrospective, so 70 years does apply. The Duration of Copyright and Rights in Performances Regulations 1995 (legislation.gov.uk) -
If action is taken, it would not be Rapido doing so directly, they are not the rights holders, it would be StudioCanal.

Basically, copyright exists for 70 years after the death of the major contributors to the film. How copyright protects your work: How long copyright lasts - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). In this case, Charles Crichton alone, the director, died in 1999, so quite some time to go. -
Locomotion & Rails of Sheffield announce SE&CR D Class
Gordon Connell replied to AY Mod's topic in Rails of Sheffield
If you look further down the page, you'll see that the GNoSR and SECR variants are still to be released. I guess the items listed in the pull down menus are place holders. -

The ORR has issued its data on station usage in the last year. Some interesting ups and downs, obviously due to Covid. Love that Berney Arms has the largest percentage increase in use of any station.
