    With reference to the Bulleid in lined maroon, has Bachmann never been tempted to produced such a version? It would add variety to many a model passenger train. Stephen

    Leslie Your latest model continues to be of the high standard we have come to expect from you. The wagon in the photo posted by TheTurfBurner has Vac Brake on the side. Now, to the uninitiated, this looks just like your model, so is it an unfitted wagon that has been fitted with vacuum braking in its later years? Stephen

    Back up and running. Stephen

    Fran Thanks for that. This is good forum, albeit on a smaller scale to irishrailwaymodeller.com. Stephen

    It must be quite serious because the first message about it on their Facebook page was 10.33 yesterday. Stephen

    I can see the logic in Clive’s approach to leaving out bits of scenery that get in the way of seeing the trains. Certain well known modellers advocate ‘view blockers’ to do just the opposite. Each to his/her own. Stephen

    Clive Your cut and shut method of modelling seems to be producing some very passable models. I’ve always liked cutting up old Triang/ Hornby carriages to produce new models. Stephen

    As a civil engineer (albeit now retired), my understanding is that they are all bridges but that a viaduct is a bridge with several small spans. Stephen

    It is a sad fact that the term depression can be misused and misunderstood. We can all be depressed without suffering from the condition depression. I’ve never had the latter, so I can only begin to imagine what it does to you. Stephen

    I didn’t know Roy personally and I only ever came across once, at Wells, when he was assisting with Black Lion Crossing. He was explaining why he was wearing two pairs of glasses. His lasting legacy will be his wonderful modelling. RIP sir. Stephen

    Not knowing Roy personally, it seems inappropriate to post in the obituaries column. I only came across him once, at Wells, when he was assisting with Black Lion Crossing.

    There seems to be quite a time lapse between those receiving their copy by subscription and those of us who put business the way of the local village shop. I feel it is very important to keep this lifeline alive. A very good read, by the way. I particularly liked both South Pelaw and Surrey Arms. Stephen

    Thanks for posting these photos of the landscape that the railway runs through. Stephen

    I don’t know when the big end problem came to light but it did stop 419 working passenger trains on Saturday until late on when she rolled into Toddington pulling a passenger train. Stephen

    I followed Martin’s writings in the model railway press for many years. It was a pleasure, therefore, when he and Jan moved to Ledbury, to make his acquaintance and have the pleasure of helping with operating two of his layouts. His passing was a great loss all round, not only as a friend but also a very accomplished modeller. Stephen

    I saw this at last year’s Cheltenham exhibition and it blew me away. Well, you’ve just topped that with your latest additions. Look forward to seeing it again in the not too distant future. Stephen

    It highlights what I’ve always believed and that is that model shunting takes as long as prototype shunting. Stephen

    I find it interesting that youngsters becoming involved with railway preservation are having to operate trains the traditional way, whereas those involved in railway modelling have to use the most modern methods available. Stephen

    My DVD arrived in the post today. Many thanks to those involved. A very good watch. Stephen

    Look forward to it. Stephen

    Just had a call from Carly, DVD going in the post today. Little Bytham is one of the finest layouts that the general public will never see, so we have to take every opportunity to experience sitting by the lineside and watch mainline trains pass at speed. Many thanks. Stephen
  23. StephenB
    Steve Many thanks. Stephen

    Has any non-subscriber tried to get hold of a copy of the Little Bytham 1958 DVD? I have and I’m still waiting for Warner’s to get back to me. They’re a bit like hen’s teeth. Stephen

    Just been reading the thread BRM February ‘19, which leads me to believe that casual readers of BRM are going to struggle once agin to get the latest DVD on Little Bytham when it comes out. They really know how not to attract customers, or am I just getting old? Stephen
