      The trains weren't rammed full. I expect tomorrow to be very different given the national media coverage

      Saw it pin the news and it looked superb so well done NR however with a 67 on the tail and second crew it will be an expensive operation.

      If costs were comparable with the service trains but with increased ticket receipts it would be good business and difficult for managers to ignore.

      However as said I think two crews and two locos will keep it to just the odd few occasions.

      Fingers crossed they're testing the water and it might appear as a regular feature..minus the diesel...

      Yes, thanks for that, I use it to track its' approach, but it's only really good if you have a new phone thingy so you can check once you are out on the road. It was late both this a.m. and this evening and then left 36E early so I was caught out both times. :)

      I don't have a problem if people are uncomfortable about 'incomers', however these young people are only there for a few days and that bloke was ignorant enough to voice his bigotry in a huge public arena. Sadly his ignorance tarnishes all the other folk in that Village.

      Don't forget you loaned BCB a class 25, which you must take back

    4. Mallard60022

      Mallard60022

      Ah that Class 25; thanks Indom but I have the papers concerning that lease :) and it is EM of course. It is some missing OO Heljan TTG 47s and a couple of Lima Sector Class 47s that I am sure I have not sold. SWMBO said do I have a list of stuff I've sold......nope! Doh!

  21. I have lost a box of 4mm diesels (in the loft). I know more or less what's in the box but where the #### is it?

      Mallard60022

      Ah, no problems Horse, I have just found my Lima Crab and you can have that instead.

  22. A few words of advice. Don't go digging through boxes of model railway stuff you have had in the loft for a very long time as you will wonder what the #### you are going to do with it.
