    It’s not essential but it has a lot about cross London traffic from Edwardian times. I’m in mid Sussex but I’m often in Surrey/south London. If you email me your address I’ll drop it in some time. Terry

    Do you have a copy of London's Lost Railways by Charles Klapper? Terry

    I think the first decade of the 20th century is pure gold. A great range of liveries and excuses for cross London services. Small locos and short coaches. I wish now I had settled on that 30 years ago, though I do like my southern locos in olive green. Terry

    Freight trains in the USA and Canada are long and travel at low speeds. Why not build a purely freight line next to the motorways? Terry

    It's 40 years old and out of print as far as I'm aware. Terry

    I'd be happy to scan and email you a copy if that helps. Terry

    Drove from West Sussex to see this today and wasn't disappointed. Superb modelling. Terry

    It probably should be saaf. Terrific layout so far anyway. Terry

    There are a couple of photos in the Middleton Press 'Lines Around Wimbledon'. I've seen at least one that shows the actual milk depot much clearer bit I can't remember where at the moment. It is the site of a mosque now. Terry

    Sorry to hear that Godstone Rd is no more. I got the sense as time went by that you were losing pleasure from it. Good luck with the next project! Terry

    I think that if you can lay flexi-track to about 5ft radius to fit in your space you would be well advised. I have got set track curves in my garage and while my three 0-6-0 tanks are fine on them my M7 0-4-4 tank and my Adams Radial 4-4-2 will not go round them, never mind about buffer lock! Unfortunately I do not have 11ft in width. Terry

    Sounds rather like Brighton East, but I don't think it's that old. Terry

    Aren't they part of the collection at the dockyard? Terry

    Loving it all so far. Once you have sprayed the track the gaps may well not look so bad. Even though my layout is O Gauge and 1930s I love Southern suburbia. Terry

    When's the third rail coming? Enjoying this! Terry

    Sorry William - just realised you looked at the aggregates option right from the start. Doh! Terry

    I think the crossover makes a lot of sense. As for operational interest, I know it's a bit late in the day, but how about a smaller version of Day's Aggregates at Purley? Given that Purley was originally called Godstone Rd it would be quite apt!

    Pleased to see this layout back, I feared that you were going to abandon it in favour of the 2mm stuff. Hope it progresses well, I shall look forward to developments. Good luck. Terry

    I heard you the first time!

    There is also a copy of the 1916 OS map in West London Line by Mitchell and Smith. Some photos in both that and The West London Railways by Atkinson. Terry

    Are you aware of the EM track to be produced by Peco and sold through the EMGS?
  22. TJ52
    As well as the Windsor Davies and Lady Penelope references did anyone catch the Blackadder or P D Woodehouse bits? Terry

    Southern Sheds in Camera by Roger Griffiths has a 'rare photo' of the five-road turntable shed at Cannon St. It states that it was situated at the opposite end of the Thames bridge to the station and was closed as part of the 1926 electrification scheme. Part of the building was incorporated into an electricity sub station. Terry

    Quite right, Goldfinger. Terry

    I have the OPC book. I'm happy to scan the relevant pages and email it to you if you want. Terry
