Excellent modelling Paul, looks and sounds superb can't wait for the new layout. Regards Graham

Looking forward to this, i can remember walking most of this railway on a school hike back in the late 60's Regards. Graham

Sir Thomas Beecham's quote or whoever said it springs to mind after looking at the last picture

I recall seeing pairs of York based class 20's ( D8300 - D8309 ) working south through Filey Station on summer saturdays in the late 60's, some probably made it onto the Butlins branch, also lots of Dairycoates 37's. Never saw a Dairycoates 20 at Filey, Remember seeing them at Bridlington on the pickup goods. Regards. Graham

I recall seeing some distant railway shots looking down on a Railway goods yard in the 1960 film Saturday Night And Sunday Morning, can anyone confirm its the Nottingham Midland Goods Yard in the film

Calm down Calm down

I spoke to her son Richard at the weekend, Vivien is still with us and modelling.

Nice one Jamie. I'm still looking for the chap wearing the, I Shot J R t shirt
