Hi Pete, Could you send me the details of who has supplied you the foam inserts please? Regards Chris

They're excellent David thank you.

Thanks David, much appreciated.

Hi David, The photo was taken around the mid 1980's. This is another photo of it passing Gateshead but without the tool van & GW Brake Van. I'm sure I've seen the GW Brake Van in one of your photos at Plessey Crossing at Newsham during track relaying. Regards Chris

Hi David, Do you happen to have any photos of the crane, bogie bolster, tool van & GWR brake van in the photo below. I'm looking to model the consist in 7mm and would appreciate any photos that will show any further detail and livery. Regards Chris

Some more photos

Hope these are some use to you.

Following on from our first successful North East O Gauge show & the many kind comments from our visitors - We are going to do it again next year (We must be mad😄). Please note the change of date to the 30th September & 1st October. This has occurred due to the unavailability of our current venue on our previous dates. We will also be launching a new website shortly at - www.neog.uk Details of all layouts, demonstrators & trade support will be released on here and the website. So please come along and enjoy the delights of O Gauge modelling at the North East's friendliest show😃
