    It’s a self fulfilling prophecy!

    It's up North and doesn't count and can be safely ignore it in London!

    Have you seen the price of a can of Spam recently!

    You can fool some of the people some of the time…

    There are a number of official photo's of it in the Teesside Archive and details of the build in the Head Wrightson order books.

    The irony of Canada is watching Michael Portillo travelling on the exported Nightstar stock!

    Built for the conveyance of Sewage Sludge from the sewage works to where it was tipped, these being worked over the BR mainline between the two! There were also some built by Hudson but non of these survive.

    Last place I was aware of any is British Steel Scunthorpe that had some reduced to flats and were being used internally for carrying plate.

    Follow the example of others and go make the effort to take your own; too many people want others to do the leg work especially when there are still examples still in existence!

    Escaped Diddy Man finally found!

    My Epson scanners software has decided it will not recognise slides, so I have used the demonstration version from Hamrick. This is a colour slide I acquired about thirty years ago and it looks like it could be the RTC at Derby. Livery appears to be varnished timber, orange solebar but no idea about the ends.

    Now available to order from Accurascale!

    Oh dear, the first is a Dublo Brake Van chassis with a Triang (or later incarnation) Somerset and Dorset coach body and repaint, the second genuine HD Fruit D with added LMS transfers!

    As far as I know there has not been any problems at Riding School Crossing at Saltburn!

    Maintenance budgets slashed year on year and it looks the same on motorways as potholes are developing on seven year old bits and the number of small yard square bits of tarmac is growing between Leeming and Barton on the A1. The A66 has had closures due to slippage and likewise the A59 between Harrogate and Skipton! Piecemeal maintenance akin to only mend it when it breaks is the norm in what are allegedly building maintenance contracts which are really repair contracts!

    These wagons had RCH brake gear rather than NER/LNER style with and the drawings for these are in the NRM Charles Roberts drawing collection at York. This design was also built for Lancashire Steel at Irlam that was also part of S&L.

    From the Steel Company of Wales a proposed one for Abbey Works.

    You've got to remember how much spin has been directed against the project coupled with tunnel vision of the "High Speed" bit without realising there will be benefits other than journey time!

    I would be tempted if there was an HO one available.

    Dave that really looks the part!

    For site use there are the former British Steel Teesside Lackenby GECt 75 ton 6w locomotives stored at Lackenby!

    Alternatively remove the headstocks, and convert to an inner or source a conversation kit for the Triang one.

    The majority of the singles were converted for EWS to replace the Tench (Sturgeons with sides) to produce Supertench which were loaded with dropside modules to produce a long low open in the same fashion as the Borail/Mullet conversions.

    Somewhere on here is a photo of one in use but were meant for moving cripples !

    My thought is acquire a Palbrick freightliner adaptor from KR and fit/convert to have a bar coupling on it!
