    A super detailed under-frame is fantastic if the bits which are super detailed are actually visible other than in derailment mode ....... pretty buffer springs and drawgear can be a right pain in the whatsit for those few of us who wish to fit functioning items - and should never be seen by anyone else !

    ... presumably in Pennsylvania they pronounce it as in reading a book ! ...................... I'd always assumed that place was Redding too !

    Possibly Honiton : - 6/4/24

    Don't they know the old trick of notching the rail with the corner of a triangular file above your dummy fishplates. 🙄

    Before anyone points it out, of course the Southern already had a class of L1s - and my Crownline one is STILL among the unfinished projects on the workbench. Closer to topic, I'm tempted to invoke Rule 1, again, and assume that the LNER's unwanted L2s ended up south of the Thames under BR - they'd have felt at home here !

    Using not too much Rule 1, I have an L1 on my 1948 Southern layout ....... there WAS an expectation that trials would be carried out but I think 42198/9 were too obviously successful ! ....................................... sorry, that doesn't answer your query one iota ! 😎

    Certainly not that photo - but it looks like DM721282 & DS70242 again. ( Always though a 73xxx was a Standard Five not a Little Ed.)

    The tyres hanging off the side of a boat are usually let down already !

    At least one was among the many, many vehicles sold off from Inverurie Works and ended up grounded in a local farmyard - so, presumably it ( & others ? ) spent time operating in Scotland before withdrawal.

    Yes, you've got a choice of 'cle-res-tory' or 'cleres-try' for a start ........... Chambers dictionary is clear that it's 'clear' - and even gives an alternative spelling of 'clearstory'. ( Other dictionaries are available )
  11. Wickham Green too
    Yes, I spotted 'cle-rest-ory' and cringed - it's clearly a clear storey !

    They did a red Hall or two too .......................................... the only good thing about all these is that it's easy to repaint them with a nice coat of plain black - something I might consider if when that blue O1 gets remaindered at a silly price.

    Who's being judgmental ? ........... it's a fact that the factories would have been short of workers for a while - and we needn't discuss where replacements came from.
  14. Wickham Green too
    Even if it is "Sold Out at Rapido" it may not be "Sold Out at Alternative Retailer".
  15. Wickham Green too
    Lots of the workers weren't repaired, though.
  16. Wickham Green too
    No doubt the escort driver checked there was adequate height ...........
  17. Wickham Green too
    Rather depends on one's definition of "livery" ................ I suspect your thirty includes many variants the yer average bloke in the street wouldn't spot ! 😊
  18. Wickham Green too
    Never mind all that 'M' stuff - a 246 bus and class 377 should get me to Maidstone ! ( ASLEF permitting )
  19. Wickham Green too
    ... unless they ended up on the dirt as a consequence !
  20. Wickham Green too
    "In many cases, the letters refer to the ends of the line of route" so my guess of Glasgow was probably right ....... though, presumably 'G' designation starts at Euston so isn't much of a help !
  21. Wickham Green too
    How do you re-signal concrete ???!? 🙄
  22. Wickham Green too
    I did wonder whether it was km .......... presumably I was wrong about Glasgow district !
  23. Wickham Green too
    Terminally sad, I believe. 😢
  24. Wickham Green too
    Not on this one they didn't : - Grosmont : 20/4/80
  25. Wickham Green too
    If 451 is miles from - presumably - Euston and G is the division ( Glasgow ? ) then the industry in the background might be something to do with Ravenscraig ................. but that's a lot of IFs an' I dunno nuffink ! ✋
