All the LNER archives are in Kew as far as I'm aware. I think the choice of trading name was decided by the DFT who will own the rights to it. It was only called LNER after it was taken in-house by the government after the failure of the franchise. They don't own York station it belongs to Network Rail.

Basically they've trawlled various forums to pass off information as their own as I'm sure their archives don't contain anything on the original LNER.

Thank you very much your a life saver. By the looks of it I'm not the only one missing them!

Sorry to bump this very old thread but does anyone have a set of instructions for the D&S 15t Cowens Sheldon crane. Mine appear to have got lost in the 15-20 years I have had this kit.

The Repair Shop is a good programme although even on the UK one some of the methods look a bit iffy. Dom on last night's was painting some large wooden wall plaque. Close up shot of a paint brush dipping in the paint, brush then lifted up and dribble paint everywhere. Anyone else get the feeling it's getting more about the sob story rather than the repair? Maybe it's just me getting a cynical old git in my old age.

See if you can get a copy of "North Eastern electrics: The History of the Tyneside electric passenger services 1904-1967 by Ken Hoole by Oakwood Press. It will be out of print but if you can obtain a copy it's a good start. Don't pay the silly Amazon price £80!?!? There are book sellers with it at sensible prices.

Saw these a couple of weeks back and they were very interesting. I liked the one about how to open the doors of the new railbuses. Introduced when virtually everything was slam door we now have flipped that, with people unable to work out how to open doors on heritage railways.

What a livery! Much better than boring green of pway wagons.

Sorry to bump an old post but you can also back convert it to a P4 hopper. The body is based on that wagon.

That shouldn't have been a factor if the door springs were good. Although we used the forklift forks after loading.

Sorry I have to disagree. Our yard was virtually exclusively Pipe wagons with at least 30 on site at the height of ECML electrification. We had only about two Tube wagons in the yard. Maybe it was what was available at the time but that's the way it was.

Don't forget they were very popular with BR S&T department after withdrawn from revenue service. Really good for pallets of concrete troughing. Easily loaded with a forklift due to the full length doors on the Pipes in particular. Signal posts and heads, location cases and cable drums as well.

Yes typo fat fingers small keyboard.

There were only six 03063, 03066, 03078, 03084, 03112 and 03371(ex departmental 92) so you probably did. It was a sad day when the Class 08's took over. Newcastle was never the same.

Yes this is one on eBay.bit pricey. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266618656173?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=6OqycqMoQfu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=fnjk_7jPT0e&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
