    I'm wondering if the guy who loaded the wagon would know that Preston was on the way to Scotland .................. plenty of people nowadays wouldn't have a clue ! ☹️

    As things stand every second Hayes train does, indeed, run via Parks Bridge Jn. ............. Cannon Street has been excommunicated from Hayes - or vice-versa.

    Can't say I remember a U1 announcement from Margate - that had quite a few more than six wheels ! 😊
  4. Wickham Green too
    ....and a bus on the ( foot ) bridge !

    No, the ANCIENT version was Hornby Dublo ...... my three-rail example was lettered LMS !
  6. Wickham Green too
    The drivers may have been under that bridge innumerable times with single-deckers !
  7. Wickham Green too
    ... two-tone locomotive horns !
  8. Wickham Green too
    At that date it could easily have been melted down to make Spitfires ! ( Or whatever they actually DID do with all those railings. )

    Er ......sorry .........er ..... I thought we'd got onto talking about axleboxes !!?!
  10. Wickham Green too
    Impossible to tell from photos but I guess different types on each end of an axle would be rare - however interchangeable they were !!?!
  11. Wickham Green too
    Probably fewer than Haddock Model would ! 😎

    I wonder if the NEWDIGATE ones are in numerical order too ( background of t'other photo ).

    Later Minks with 'wrong way' diagonals weren't unknown !
  14. Wickham Green too
    ... and just behind those trees is a dirty great viaduct !
  15. Wickham Green too
    Are you sure you've spelt that correctly ? ... Ashford ; 27/2/88

    Anyone got a copy of https://lightmoor.co.uk/books/caledonian-railway-wagons-and-non-passenger-coaching-stock/L9747 ?

    Air braked and steam heat ....... now that's a pretty unusual combination.

    I think the advert for no fuss cremations is in particularly bad taste in the circumstances.
  19. Wickham Green too
    Er - I can't find anything about level crossings on that page ............ my stupidity p'raps ??!?
  20. Wickham Green too
    Anyone remember Clock House when it used to flood !!?!
  21. Wickham Green too
    Does the use of reduced letter/number sizes imply that there WAS still banana traffic in 1941 ??!?

    The same as for one light engine - but repeated when the first loco has cleared the section so the second loco can enter.

    While the 158s/159s - whatever the fundamental difference IS - are, indeed carried on one T4 bogie, the P4 obviously differs in some way that makes it powerable. The various Networkers have a variety of P3/T3 variants or BP62/BP52 bogies.

    Please read what I wrote viz "water meadows existed long, long before the Victorians came along".
  25. Wickham Green too
