    In the original post it refers to the loco being operated by DRS. I thought it had always been EWS/DB? It certainly had beasty stickers on it when I had it for haulage in the summer of 2019. Paul.

    But what was the sloping roof for? Any particular reason? Paul

    In Lidl last week I saw some hot cross buns for sale... Paul.

    Hi, I don't know how to show a link to a You Tube video but if you search on YouTube for Lawrie's Mechanical Marvels 08785, you should be able to find a video of 08785 in G&W orange. Paul.

    Hi, can anybody tell me what the difference between a VAA and a VBA is, please? I've looked on Paul Bartletts site but can't see any physical differences between them except for experimental suspension on some vehicles. Thanks Paul.

    And I thought that the shop on Pelham Street was big... Paul

    Two wagon write ups? Looking forward to them! Paul

    I've heard it described as marking their territory... Paul.

    Ah, I was watching it with the sound off whilst the wife was watching Corrie. Thanks, Paul

    I notice the wagons in that video were opened manually. Was that normal? Wasn't there any automatic door opening equipment at Ironbridge? Paul.

    They're on Hattons website as pre-order. Paul.

    Hi, which 08s had front steps with handrails that curved in at the top like that? The only ones I can see are the Dutch 08-style locos. Thanks, Paul.

    Curious when you look at the builders plate with a B prefix number and built at Lancing in 1956? Paul

    Wasn't 56036 the first loco in large logo blue? Or at least the first 56? Paul.

    The East Coast drivers manual to class 08 dated 2014 says that at 15 mph, the traction motors of an 08 are spinning at the same speed as a 47 at 95 mph. Paul.

    Repair crews seemed to be on site quickly. Paul.

    It's clearly an SNCFFret CC92000 just waiting the final livery touches. Paul.

    On Cats

    Hippel replied to didcot's topic in Wheeltappers

    Porkscratching, we have a cat that loves climbing into my wife's craft table and knocking onto the floor anything he can, especially the beads and sequins kept in old 35mm film canisters because they make the best noise when he plays with them! She's forever looking where he's put them. Paul.

    I hope Dapol have a copy too. 'O' gauge Shark, hint, hint! Paul.

    Don't they have something like that at the Chinnor and Princes Risborough? Paul.
  22. Hippel
    Carlisle must have been pretty similar too? Paul.
  23. Hippel
    Isn't that Pyewipe Road? Paul

    That picture of Wellowgate - you can see in the background a fish and chip shop, which it was said in the late seventies/early eighties was often visited by an Area Inspector who was single and lived on his own, and that Wellowgate would then get a box visit before/after visiting the chippie. The most visited box in the area!I Paul.

    It's a deltic, isn't it? Paul.
