Hello all, I am wondering if anyone has any information or photographs of Standard 4 Class tanks working in Scotland in the 60s. Did they do branch line work? Would they have ever hauled inspection saloons? Milk runs? I've come across plenty of pictures of the locomotives from the time, but mostly in England and mostly by themselves or doing pilot work.

Hello! I'm curious if anyone has any evidence to corroborate or could shed some light on the possibility of a Class 28 ever having hauled an inspection saloon sometime before their withdrawal? Also, does anyone have information as to when some of the LMS saloons began to receive the BR blue/grey livery?

Hello all, My current layout design (OO) is to be set in Cornwall in the late stages of the hydraulic era (thinking late Summer 1971, as most hydraulics are still on the rails, 22s are being withdrawn, and 25s are simultaneously being introduced). I would really love to add in an arched stone two-lane roadway bridge (road-over-rail) that has a wide enough arch to accomodate two tracks. I've found a lovely picture taken by Mike Roach here in the mid-80s of a beautiful stretch of rail by Treesmill with what appears to be exactly the kind of bridge to which I am referring. The bridge is stone and the arch is rather short in height but rather broad. I know the picture does obscure a bit of the bridge, and I'm not sure if the bridge would have a single arch or two smaller arches on either side (opinions welcomed!). Does anyone have any recommendations as to where I can find a model bridge in OO/HO scale that looks similar to this? I would be most grateful.
