    No mention of the Great Northern and Southern Railway, as chronicled in the Railway Children!

    Sadly not the case in the UK, where the figures for deaths in April are (according to The Times this morning) about twice what they normally would be.

    But were there any with "Little" in their official title? (Little North Western and Lil' Ratty don't count, as they were not their official titles.)

    Wouldn't work for the Great Central, though.

    I am sure the Great in Great Western was to signify it was grand, wonderful and large!

    I had the same problem, likewise only with a few of them. Fixed it by fitting a yoke made of thick plasticard strip over the push bar, held down by a pair of pins that were push fits into holes drilled in the baseboard. The strip is kept high enough gto stop the push bar rising up over the tiebar pin, but too low so as to prevent the tiebar moving freely. Crude but effective. Attached photo shows the arrangement, I hope.

    Just been looking through the Seven & Wye Railway Vol 2. There is a picture of the Crown siding close to Serridge Junction, and that had a catch point on the railway side of the gate and it was worked by a common lever with the siding points from the junction box. It also had a ground signal to control exit, also worked from the box. (The siding was installed by the railway, so maybe not typical installation.)

    Some time ago I measured up some model cats for the very important role of Station Cat. They were all well over a scale 4ft long (even in 00), which would have made them bigger than those giants of the cat world, Maine C00ns and Norwegian Forest Cats - neither of which breeds were common as Station Cats!

    But curiously, not on the Jersey Occupation line, which had double buffers on the 1m gauge line and appears to have a small round center buffer for the 60cm.

    Are ye right there, Michael? - Percy French (inspired by the failings of the West Clare Railway)

    According to Railways of the Channel Islands, gauges were 1m and 60cm on Jersey, 90cm on Guernsey and 1m on Alderney. The center buffer coupler looks the same pattern as used on Guernsey, and the locos numbered 1 and 7 do look similar to one seen in a picture of the Guernsey occupation line, but that did not have a big number painted on it. I am inclined to agree they are not of the Channel Islands railways.

    I see according to the press release, she is claiming her house is already unstable, in which case it could well be already a danger to herself and worth very little!

    At a guess, the package arrived at Basildon at 37min past midnight, before being sent out at 19min past 10. Actually correct, just looks weird!
