  1. Brian 1, 3 if rail wagons are Ganes, J1/12/13/16 - the T series are the sleeper wagons, 4 (specifically T1), 7, 10, 11 (if N2-10/12/13/19-22). Lloyd
  2. Brian As I expect to be away from home for a couple of weeks, Could you vote for me for any Minks that would have been around in 1929, especially in the Newport/Severn Tunnel area, please? Thanks Lloyd
  3. I heard a story of a pilot with a North African airline, who went back into the passenger cabin to speak to the passengers. The cabin door shut behind him, and he did not have a key on him. He proceeded to ask if any of the passengers had an axe in their hand baggage. Being a North African airline, someone did, and he was able to smash his way back into the cockpit. Lloyd
  4. Same as before for this poll. 1, 2 and 3. Multiples, especially of 1. Lloyd
  5. I will go for 1, 2 and 3 in this poll. All the rest are too late for the period I hope to model. for focused choice, 1. Lloyd
  6. It has to be the Border sign just North of Berwick. Always gives me a warm feeling to know that I am back in Scotland, perhaps more that I am out of Englandshire. Lloyd
  7. Durham Cathedral. Not much else worth looking at. Lloyd
  8. With all this talk of the MC on the ECML, my memory of it is as a very useful time indicator. When watching from Spittal Bridge in the mornings on my way to school, the passing of the up MC was the signal for me to head off to school. If I was late, my excuse would be that it was because the MC was late! Lloyd
  9. That may be why the street name is 'Steep Hill'. Lloyd
  10. If this is Peterborough to Doncaster, then Doncaster Shed/Works. If it is P'borough to London, Fletton Brick works (before they were demolished). Lloyd
  11. I will agree with Paul, though I find it all rather dreary. Lloyd
  12. Many thanks for that information. I visited the Ipswich museum when I was over there in 1987, but not aware of any railway museum in NSW, which, I think, was the only State to have 'standard gauge' for internal traffic. Was Picton open in 1987? I would have loved to have seen it during my stay in Sydney. Lloyd
  13. Re India and New Zealand not getting 'their' A4s, could it be the different track gauges in those countries? Re Australia, though some was standard gauge, I cannot recall a railway museum in NSW, and Ipswich in Queensland, and I think there is one in South Australia, are both on different gauges. Lloyd
  14. Something that stays tacky would stop them completely! Seriously, I agree with Mr Adler that station colours would be most appropriate. Lloyd
  15. I'll have what he's having. Lloyd
  16. I will support Clive on this one. River Class. Lloyd
  17. Something similar happened in S Wales in the last week, and they put her to bed in the wrong house!
  18. Are your sure it wasn't taken there and put to bed by the local ambulance service?
