      I think you could.  Class 08's were moved as they moved so slowly on rail.  Also stripped large diesels that had been withdrawn became considerably lighter, rose on their springs, and became out of gauge.

      Thanks for that! That's handy to know. He was specifically thinking about a diorama surrounding a fire damaged coach :) I'll let him know a fire damaged diesel might work better

      There were other, more specific circumstances earlier than that, such as when locos and rolling stock were moved from Anglesey, following the fire on the Britannia (Menai) Bridge in 1970.

      It's kinda working, kinda not. And we can't access the admin panel! I'd love to go back to paper catalogues, although the way I'm going I'm sure I could generate a database fault on that too...

  7. Our website is currently down and will be for the next 12 hours. Apologies for any inconvenience.

      Good service and keen prices all year long rather than 1 week in November. Well done.

      Absolutely correct, Black 5 Bear, gimmicks aren't needed if the basic service is already good.

      Don't quote me, but I think a mutual acquaintance may be popping in to order something small and black, after he was almost literally drooling over the biscuit thing the other day ;)
