  1. I would hate to be the person in 100 years time who writes the history of HS2 and the associated blame game involved!
  2. The Leith General Warehouse grain hoppers were one of the outstanding wagons they ran around Edinburgh with.
  3. and now it’s only going to Euston if someone puts money into the project!
  4. Remember the proposed Northern connectrail service from Teesside to Newcastle was to be routed via Stillington!
  5. If it follows the way Government works it will be cancelled and the properties purchased sold off only to be bought again when it is reannounced! The same happened with the A1 motorway upgrade north of Dishforth to Barton.
  6. Have a look at Sunderland North tunnel it’s more inverted third rail than overhead wire for the Metro units!
  7. Anyone who wants to build an extension on a house knows it may need planning permission and an architect plus building regulations all of which cost even before a spade hits the ground!
  8. Russ that was on the BDA's and it was Bill Dodds, loads inspector and Granville Jones BSC traffic manager.
  9. Cheap printers are a way to sell more ink, especially the HP ink scheme!
  10. A lot of reporting on infrastructure projects is comparing apples and oranges! Build properly build once!
  11. The only thing wrong is the top flap doors as there was a small batch of Palbricks rebodied on this size chassis!
  12. Many of them were rebodied as minerals for use by the NCB in South Wales, Kent and also Yorkshire.
  13. I hope that it is better than the revised Peco/Parkside kit chassis as the mounts are moulded into the solebar, making it unsuitable for mineral wagons!
  14. It's Conference season and it sounds it's more like he is placating the membership!
  15. Temptation is terrible, thankfully there isn't a Lambton one !
  16. It will happen eventually just look a how far York ROC has spread it tentacles recently and even then it doesn’t need to be joined up!
  17. An even bigger cynic would say its pantomime party conference season !
  18. The former Airfix RCH all steel 20 ton mineral does scrub up well!
  19. The real rare collectors items are the ones that survive out of all the ones played with and broken!
  20. Modern UK politicians on a whole cant think log term as they are too well indoctrinated by short term fiscal and American indoctrination; plus they cant stand the thought of another political party being the government when it opens!
  21. I wouldn't go that far but when the throughput went up the quality went down!
  22. Its a well known fact that cars get lonely in car parks and other cars must go to keep them company!
