    Now explain where the track embankment has gone between the end of the sidings and the stop blocks !
  2. Wickham Green too
    Don't tell me their model's actually built on a Land Rover !
  3. Wickham Green too
    Obviously not been near the confessional recently !
  4. Wickham Green too
    Looks like it's only the frame on the rear of the skip that's fouled ...... difficult to tell whether it was bent backwards beforehand but it looks to have scraped under the bash beam then jammed under the bridge itself : is there a design flaw there ??!?

    While a particular wagon might have been due works attention on 1st January 1923 and could, in theory, have received Southern livery, it's unlikely the appropriate Committees had decided what that livery would be ! .............. there was probably a delay and there may have been wagons turned out in complete pre-grouping liveries or pre-grouping paintwork lettered 'SR' before things settled down.

    Hmmmm .... suggests SOMEONE might be ( or might have been ) interested !
  7. Wickham Green too
    ... though Carnforth tried to set a trend with 42085 !
  8. Wickham Green too
    Did you analyse how that translated into numbers of vehicles rather than diagrams ?
  9. Wickham Green too
    .... any evidence of Caley blue ? ........... er .... of any shade ? 😁
  10. Wickham Green too
    M32978M obviously works with Mk1s most of the time so I don't doubt the gangways have adaptors .......... difficult to tell from the mangled remains, though !
  11. Wickham Green too
    Certainly the B1 was soon spinning its wheels at great speed !
  12. Wickham Green too
    Shows how good spring buffers are ......... both locos rebounded much further than you'd expect !
  13. Wickham Green too
    Most locos - on all British railways - were getting plain black repaints at this time ...... IF repainted at all.
  14. Wickham Green too
    ... and a third one with those whopping great spring dampers the Southern used.
  15. Wickham Green too
    I think there's a link to something similar somewhere up-thread !
  16. Wickham Green too
    Carefully designed so that nobody gets run over - by the gate ! ( can you imagine the RAIB report ? )
  17. 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.
  19. Wickham Green too
    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.
  21. Wickham Green too
    I think his 'legs' have been taken off for the move !
  22. Wickham Green too
    .... obviously not running from anywhere on the Eastern Region through Vauxhall !
  23. Wickham Green too
    Most definitely not as standard - very few locos were.
  24. Wickham Green too
    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.
  25. Wickham Green too
    .... not least that leading bus - I've never seen one like that before !
