Clive, I didn't realise the AL5's were built pre 1914, when I saw them in the early 60's at Willesden Junction I got the impression they were newish especially as BR had built a new depot for them. Regards,Del boy.

As I mentioned earlier several of the Class were shedded at 33A Plaistow & 33B Tilbury . If as I surmise they were shopped @ Doncaster the easiest route would have been through Peterborough or possibly March, Gainsborough & into Doncaster. I only just thought about that as a route.Why don't I leave thinking to others,it only gets me confused.

Gilbert, I was thinking of the large number that were shedded at 33A Plaistow &33B Tilbury during 1958. I am guessing they were shopped at Doncaster, but I am not certain. However if I am right you could easily find a Path for a Light Engine cos you know it makes sense. Regards,Del Boy. PS Is that Old Duck from Retford alright I don't think we have heard from him for a while.

4MT Standards never worked through PN as far as I know although they were shopped at Doncaster and I once saw one reversing onto the Nottingham line at Grantham on it's return to Neasden via Weekday Junction. I also saw a Standard Class 4 2-6-0 going in the reverse direction and again it was a Neasden Locomotive. It is possible that they worked through PN light engine ?

Maunsell Q class. Built @ Gorton ???

From 1911, the works constructed 130 of Robinson's GCR Class 8K (later O4) 2-8-0 heavy freight locomotives. They were still in use in 1966 so it has to be 8K more commonly known as 04 in my days.

Gawd Blimey mate,thats like calling a Middlesborough person a "Geordie" Warnock for Mayor of Middlesborough ?

The reliable 5MT. Stanier's Black five.

You can't be serious that a RTR manufacturer would even consider bringing out another 7mm A4 when Hattons / Heljan model has only just been released. There wouldn't be a market for it that made it worthwhile for anyone to seriously consider it a viable option.

Gilbert, I expect you have seen that Sir Little Bytham of this parish is building a V2 from a 3D printed body courtesy of Mike Trice. Comet chassis and a Bachmann Tender. I was wondering if this might be something you would consider rather than the new RTR Bachmann model. It's interesting that I was reading a 2012 issue of "Model Rail" the other afternoon and they were talking about the New Bachmann chassis that was sitting under the Old Body. So 8 years down the road the new body is almost with us. I can't remember the date a new chassis was promised or indeed a completely new model. Keep safe. Regards,Derek. PS just returned from Radcliffe -on -Trent. I believe the place has the highest number of working Guide Dogs (6) per head of population in the UK.
