On the subject of these mixed trains, was there any frequency to the tank coming into Mallaig? Thinking from a timetable point of view.

Did the C & O/B.R. ever run a sleeping car service between Glasgow/Callender and Oban especially during the last years of the line? If so what type of sleeping coach was used?

Trying to remove a body of a class 47, 47832 chassis. Any have any tips on removing tough screws from a Bachmann class 47. Feels like 2 screws are starting to strip on the heads. Have been carefully trying WD40 to loosen them. Don't want to have to drill them out.

Hope it goes well. Two small things, please do some models with short nameplates on models for the easy renaming/numbering of models and produce underframe boxes/tanks as spare parts.......

Were would I obtain information on the British Railways paint standard numbers as used by BR on their locomotives during the 80's and 90's? Want info on BR warning yellow, Rail blue, Intercity light grey and Intercity dark grey.

This is great news but will be interested in a MK2c coaches, especially a CK and TSOT for use in Scotland. Out of interest found a 1985 photo of 47461 at Inverness, behind is what looks like a MK2b TSOT, could be wrong.

Mmmmm, the MK2c. Scottish modellers could finally get that CK coach. On the subject of the MK2b TSO, could it be done as a TSOT or is MK2c TSO needed? Stephen.

Good luck to Bachmann with this model. Everyone has there interests, me it’s the Scottish highland line in the late 80’s so just hope for Rail blue, large logo, Intercity and Scotrail versions. Plus please do the water tanks, battery boxes etc as spare parts so it will make it easier to customise models as realistically every model can’t be done. Lastly hoping the exchange rate downunder gets better, the suggested price for a base model is high.

Did any of the Kernow JIA tiger China clay wagons ever make it up to Corpach? Basically would like to know what types of China clay wagons worked over the West Highland Line in the late 80s/early 90s?

There is a 1960’s photo of Ballachulish yard around the goods shed area. There are lots of open wagons with tarps, was that ash heading away or something else? Not my photo.

Anything similar by Bachmann or Hornby? At least you can mix LMS and LNER on rare occasions.

Chessie.

Who has good eyesight? What build is the second coach?

This book good for a 1960’s layout?

Found a photo in the book: “The West Highland Lines” by Robert Robotham, a loco with some empty stock sits at Oban (1960) with some Gresley coaches in the background, my monies on it being the BR TV Train.
