    Thanks for the information. Did you source your Class 150 coupler bar from Bachmann themselves? I'm guessing this may work for Class 105 too. Davy.

    You don't have to be an American to be strange.

    The Hornby bogie sure makes a difference. Now, can I find enough as spares, that's the question? I appear to have inadvertently sold all my maroons!

    Installing point rodding in peeing rain yesterday. Stripping out redundant electricals from a ground frame in the sun today; it's a man's life in the S&T!

    One interesting aspect of the route closure in spite of development plans concerns the lengthy concrete section of the M90. It has been suggested that the motorway, specifically the concrete section, was laid at the insistence of the MoD who envisaged its use as en emergency wartime runway, should Leuchars be taken out. There is plenty of evidence of the MoD intervening in infrastructure matters such as objecting to communications masts in southern Scotland where they allegedly interfere with low flying and also in the blocking since 1980 of oil extraction in the Firth of Clyde, due to the rather sizeable oilfield lying in what was regarded as a training area for submarines. Concrete stretches of motorway with airstrip potential are not unknown elsewhere in the UK and in 1976, a public display of such use was made on the M55 near Blackpool by a Jaguar jet.

    Are there any good photos of the coaches in the 'intermediate' livery, Larry. This hadn't occurred to me as I didn't know any of these appeared before the new livery started application.

    Following on from 'The Caledonian; Scotland's Imperial Railway', I'm led to believe that similar volumes are planned for the N*rth Br*t*sh and the Sou'West. Anyone else heard anything to this effect? Following on from 'The Caledonian; Scotland's Imperial Railway', I'm led to believe that similar volumes are planned for the N*rth Br*t*sh and the Sou'West.
