    I think there's a link to something similar somewhere up-thread !

    Carefully designed so that nobody gets run over - by the gate ! ( can you imagine the RAIB report ? )
  3. Wickham Green too
    Probably a fair guess - but unlikely to be recorded in official documentation anywhere.

    Thus : -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syJH77RRsHw#:~:text=This level crossing was the,off when trains are due. Weren't there a few earlier barriers that rolled across on wheels ? - also up in the North East.

    I think any level crossing 'incidents' are permissible. Doesn't look like the car was 'dragged' very far !

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Railways-Coaches-Standard-locomotive-hauled-illustrations/dp/B0014NWRHG is supposedly correct to 1/1/62 ..... Im not sure about earlier editions.

    I think his 'legs' have been taken off for the move !

    .... obviously not running from anywhere on the Eastern Region through Vauxhall !
  9. Wickham Green too
    Most definitely not as standard - very few locos were.

    Not quite - it was selected for conversion but never modified for some reason ................. and for some other reason it was stabled with the WR Control Train until it was disposed of.

    .... not least that leading bus - I've never seen one like that before !
  12. Wickham Green too
    ...or - on a theme of inappropriate painting - "Banksya".

    Still miffed that the NRM gazumped me for M27093M ......... then deacquisitioned it to Butterley fifteen years later. ☹️ Craven Arms : 19/12/79

    Actually yellow and red ! ..... no other insignia but it looks like there's a yellow spot after the number - maybe modified for carrying bananas ! 😁
  15. Wickham Green too
    Look like the third one might be unfitted ..... certainly plenty further back.
  16. Wickham Green too
    Hmmm ...... another NRM cast-off ! ☹️
  17. Wickham Green too
    Well, here's another group of Mk1s - non-catering - from later that day ( same film ) : - .... not taken against the light.
  18. Wickham Green too
    Hmmm .... things have changed a wee bit since 1987 ( 12th Sept ) : -
  19. Wickham Green too
    You'd have difficulty living in the NRM - most of it's closed !

    ... when photographed on AGFA CT100 film and scanned to computer thirty three years later.

    How about "Thomas" ? 🤢
  22. Wickham Green too
    More likely aromatic !
  23. Wickham Green too
    But - notwithstanding The Johnster's comments - would you really want a long rake of factory-sh*tted cattle wagons with exactly the same splats on each one ............. arguably less noticeable than a rake of modern wagons all with the same graffiti sh*t - but ........ ( On the subject of cattle wagons, isn't it time the trade came up with cattle in the same scale ? ..... yes I'm sure there are white metal beasts available - but a few wagon loads end up VERY heavy.)
  24. Wickham Green too
    Electrostar ? .... big in size and numbers compared to a 66 !
  25. Wickham Green too
    A slight exaggeration there - even in preservation there are lots of areas that have never seen one ................ yes, a nice 'general purpose' locomotive in its place.
