In the 90s when I used to frequent Gainsborough Lea Road we have 150/156s on Doncaster to Peterborough and 141/144 on Sheffield to Lincoln. Unfortunately no one has done the 141.

you're trying to tempt me aren't you..... it is working. Payday is the 28th, probably have worn me down by then lol. What I really want is someone to do a 141.......

I'm actually in Grimsby, we had them fairly frequently on the Sheffield - Cleethorpes via Brigg line. I still remember the screeching noises from the sharp bend at Fish Dock Road. I think Cleethorpes got a bit of variety. GMPTE made it over I believe. My Layout is set in 1991 at Saltfleet/Mablethorpe, on an idea that the East Lincs line survived. Incidentally, when did they change the doors?

My own reference is Eastern Lincolnshire. I started getting interested in railways around 1991, I remember 141s with 4 doors but not the 142s. I think one made it to Cleethorpes, but that was before my 'time' I remember the bus seats before the moulded plastic. You could out bounce the unit if you got the timing right.

Charlie, I'm very happy with that. As I want 2 fitted with sound etc the longer you take the quieter the explosion will be on the savings account thus I won't need to distract the missus. Afraid the orange ones or the skippers rarely made it to the East Coast and the Prov ones are a bit out of my time period of the early 90s. Any idea on a rough estimate so I can be poised like a coiled gazelle?

I'm currently sitting on my hands waiting for the Reggie Rail versions.

When I was between AB and TCB courses I was put into Goxhill to shadow a signaller who was being shadowed, Saturday morning the whole place lit up and every alarm went off with a power failure. We looked at each other and went "uh-oh!"

...and here is the latest. Christmas and family meant nothing was done for several weeks with the exception of fitting the LEDs to the panel during quiet patches at work. The panel is now fitted, the track circuit relays are in, as they're not installed on the track yet, everything is showing occupied. Not a bad thing really as it allows me to check the indicators as I go. So far I've found one dodgy bit of wiring on the UP, and a faulty LED on the DOWN. A blown LED was noted on 1214B Rev as well. The rest of them will be going in this week. The point detection relays are being wired up for the station point work ready for the outside lines to go on over the Spring/Summer and the Arduino for the motor servos is being written.

Really depends on the location. In my model world, Moss Lane is first wheel replacement, as in when the signals overlap TC is struck it reverts to danger. Sutton Dock uses the same system we have at Immingham West where the signal doesn't revert to danger until the train hits the overlap of the next signal. It was done this way to facilitate propelled shunting movement.

if not for the houses on the Estate I could see Marsh Junc box.

not far from where I live.

it annoys me that I have to either run a light loco without a tail light or run a train with a tail light in it.... as a signalman it's annoying,

the very same, what was it? Coughs and sneezels spread diezesals

Proper loco lol

that's a shame, I was expecting to see a Brush type 5....
