  1. Hi Simon, The DVT appeared at the time of the change in Intercity livery from the use of executive grey to falcon grey so both these liveries and executive livery would all be seen the Eu-Brum - Wols services was the first to go over to DVT operation. Regarding DVT's and B/G only test / training trains would give this combination. http://www.traintesting.com/MK3_DVT.htm https://www.flickr.com/photos/86020500@N06/8046699971
  2. Well done Heljan for spotting 86034 is unique but still lacks being MW fitted and has Two compressors, 86 036 also has Two compressors.
  3. Why Have Heljan chosen a non standard version the data position is correct for 034 but this unique, and was mw fitted, the number seems to be slightly low and sandbox filler slightly high
  4. Top line gets my vote, is it time to put the kettle on Fran?
  5. Mike, Just seen this thread; Re coach formations if you use the following link BritPull+subscribe@brcoachingstock.groups.io. Robert's group of this parish has the info that you require. Alan
  6. Their were only two 86's that carried the domino lights 235 & 251
  7. Hi, Eastfield (Glasgow, [old diesel depot]), Cricklewood (London, [old diesel depot]), Laira (Plymouth).
  8. Not so see link https://www.flickr.com/photos/blue-diesels/7620732316/in/album-72157604142594351/ not all the remaining non executive liveried Mk 3 RFB had the yellow band applied as this was done over one weekend at depot level due to the introduction of the weekend first supplement.
  9. Large double bogie one (probably not viable that one in RTR). The older variant has been done already in HO.
  10. This was the case for many years the present fuel point is no longer under the wires. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/London+NW10/@51.5311804,-0.2391071,173m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x4876102da04f79fd:0x283dc69c9a92621e!8m2!3d51.5410229!4d-0.2530945
  11. Hi Ian 4th rail still present after Sep 2017 relay in concrete sleepers. https://www.flickr.com/photos/32413393@N00/23776926798/in/album-72157594347504922/ Link dated October 11, 2017.
  12. NLR - Euston / Watford conversion date was March 1977, I seem to recall. Yes still the same today, pre September 2017 * Piccadilly Line Trains can also Reverse in the West bound platform mostly used for ECS back to South Harrow Sidings. * Rayners Lane Junction was relaid on concrete sleeper's I have not checked if the formation was like for like. Willesden High Level, was certainly 3rd rail only by 1981
  13. The silver white refers to the colour of the ‘1’ between the droplight and the toilet window. Oxford rail seem to have muddle up the swallow white as per DVT’s part locomotives and HST power cars, with Executive light Grey!
  14. Try this link, the locomotive is 1/2 scale ! Replica. http://www.ruisliplidorailway.org/mad-bess of Blanche.
  15. Jeremy , although you do not say the year. I would say this is the Lancaster Pulman which conveyed empty sleepers. alan

  17. Ruislip also had six until recently Ruislip, Manor (Tfl Metropolitan / Piccadilly). South*, Gardens, West* (Central Tfl * also served by Chiltern) Lido (Now Renamed Willow Lawn (Ruislip Lido Railway)).

  19. Some of the original destinations from Euston https://www.google.co.uk/maps/uv?hl=en&pb=!1s0x48761b2434dc939d:0x6080d64ac88756f9!2m22!2m2!1i80!2i80!3m1!2i20!16m16!1b1!2m2!1m1!1e1!2m2!1m1!1e3!2m2!1m1!1e5!2m2!1m1!1e4!2m2!1m1!1e6!3m1!7e115!4shttps://ssl.panoramio.com/photo/14268298!5sEuston+station+-+Google+Search&imagekey=!1e4!2s14268298&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwio-ZXBvv_VAhXLK8AKHb2pA9MQoioIhgEwDA https://pastinthepresentdotnet.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/img_1110.jpg https://www.kripton.ga/filew/LNWR_lodge_Euston_right.jpg https://content.historicengland.org.uk/remote/shared.historicengland.org.uk/etl/1342042/5ba84aae-f373-46c6-9f42-05f56105047d.jpg?w=700&h=450&mode=crop&quality=60 http://l7.alamy.com/comp/J1WYAK/euston-tap-cider-bar-euston-station-J1WYAK.jpg https://content.historicengland.org.uk/remote/shared.historicengland.org.uk/etl/1342042/604f3297-5ead-4d6f-a4e2-60fe5f82feac.jpg?w=700&h=450&mode=crop&quality=60
  20. I make it Seven for Acton:- Acton Mainline (First), West,North,East (Central Tfl), Central, South (London Overground Tfl) Town (Piccadilly Tfl)
  21. An Earlier proposal By The LMS in the 1930 rebuilding of Euston, (only Stanier House was realised), was to have an underground station for the DC Line which was to link with the Middland and extend the DC operation to Bedford
  22. The 2-EPBs where used on the North London Line North Woolwich to Richmond replacing the class 501( class 501 did not get to North Woolwich only Broad Street. class 313 served mainly Stratford but also Liverpool Street, instead of Broad Street from Watford via the Graham Curve). the 2EPBs where then replaced by the Class 313 which have now been replaced by class 378 ( Stratford only). On the Euston - Watford line the class 501 were replaced by the 313 which have now been replaced by class 378.
  23. Although you do not mention a period, from your post you are looking at post privatisation so I would put forward Old Oak Common with the Eurostar ( now Hatachi plus 387's ) Opposite [ the other side of the running lines] Heathrow Express, First ( Manly HST). Going back in the same area you would have the headshunt buffer stop end of Mitre Bridge Shed [LNWR / LMS electric units] a bridge length (over the Grand Union Canal), from the GWR Old Oak Common(different height and at right angle to it ). Mitre Bridge Shed itself was briefly opposite todays Willesden TMD with both being close to the steam Shed, the same side as Mitre Bridge Shed, and briefly co-exsiting with the current Willesden TMD. Willesden has muiltiple TOC's using it Arriva Rail London, GBrail freight plus private owner.
  24. Yes MK1 BFK / BSK / BG MK2 BFK / BSO trains would depart from the Backing Out Roads to platform 7 or higher ( some having been propelled from the Camden wash machine as mentioned else were it was standard practice for the guard or shunter to apply the brake so the first, becoming the last coach stopped in line with bottom of the ramp from the passenger concourse. As WCML became air braked MK1 BG at london end MK2 cdef BSO country end from Euston became the norm up until late 80's then just BG's until replaced by MK3 DTV
  25. The 0235 was the Watford News and was a single GUV hauled by a class 25 usually. 0350 first stop was Queens Park it also would stop at wn and wn brent sidings before it next passenger stop at Wembly, fast or slow line the; BSK was replaced with a SK in NSE days and this SK was the last coach of the Cobbler fleet to receive the NSE livery, and most usually BG BSK (later SK) BG
