    So the only more 'modern' main line diesels that could have turned up at Bletchley at the time would have been the Bulleid trio !!!!

    Looks like it's only the leading Stanier coach which isn't a Mk1 - but by 1959 they might have been able to find a more 'modern' loco* if they'd waited a bit. * not sure where the earliest EE type 4s were operating - maybe better known as class 40s

    If they were ferried into the UK in the late forties ( I see no chaining-down rings ) and if Rivarossi are producing them in 4mm scale I'd love to take a couple .......................

    I think blue would have been correct for a corporate solebar at this date ....... and note that the bogie ( etc.) is a very deep brown rather than black.

    ..... more likely gently squeezed out of shape rather than dislodged.
  6. Wickham Green too
    ditto .......

    I think a few early air-brake wagons on BR had something similar.
  8. Wickham Green too
    Well, you shouldn't need to empty THAT retention tank very often.

    ..... for which the class 12 and, later, a couple of generations of 09 came about.

    I was wondering whether 5480 was actually used between October and January - or was it sat in a siding awaiting formal condemnation ?

    Cardan shaft drive from the centrally mounted motor's a bit too conspicuous for my liking !

    George shows off his developing garden railway to his friends -

    It's not only diesel units that get mis-matched : -
  14. Wickham Green too
    No such decisions need to be made about the parcels van - as usual.
  15. Wickham Green too
    I don't know whether this one's still available .....
  16. Wickham Green too
    That's a very modern, environmentally friendly way of looking at things and attitudes might have been different back then if the debris was hidden in the bottom of a ravine where only the wind and rain could get to them - apart from any bits ( the boiler ) sufficiently undamaged to be worth retaining. As subsequent posts have noted, the other remains were, indeed, recovered so access cannot have been TOO difficult.
  17. Wickham Green too
    But then if the loco plunged off the side of the mountain, the expense of recovering anything which wasn't reusable would NOT have been covered by its scrap value !
  18. Wickham Green too
    Not sure the sun's even that up to date ........... I think it still works on a time-interval system !

    I did say AS WELL AS - so "Lea Green 1234" couldn't be confused with "Lea Green Hall 7890" however garbled the numbers became. ( You could even add a check digit at the end to flag-up any error.)
  20. Wickham Green too
    Have you tried turning the room lights down ?
  21. Wickham Green too
    Perhaps every crossing should have a unique - say - four digit number such that "Lea Green" is totally different from "Lea Green Hall" and the signaller insists on name AND number being quoted there would be little scope for confusion ......... yeah, more hassle all round BUT !
  22. Wickham Green too
    ..... as modified to BR dia 2/802.
  23. Wickham Green too
    Weelll ...... FORMER Jersey Eastern Railway Sentinel ..................... what a great shame 'DOM' is no more ! - maybe someone should build a replica - starting with a water tank, of course.
  24. Wickham Green too
    ...... and he's parked it next to what's obviously an oil-burning steam loco to confuse matters further !
  25. Wickham Green too
    .... and you must remember the spill-chucker doesn't work on RMWeb - it's not that cleaver !
