    The old 706 phones area good source. Some Plessey signal post telephones have a pair of nice bells bigger than those in the 706.

    I’ve just been fiddling with one of these showing my 8 year old how it works etc.

    Did I see former EWS coal hoppers heading towards Peterborough from March yesterday around 12:00? I couldn’t give it proper attention and a quick look at real-time trains suggested a Whitemoor to Decoy move. Are they going back into use?

    Down slow between the two locations you mention.

    It’s ex Marks Tey. They were all like that. The elevated replacement will be a bit more subtle.

    I too went for something similar but with lights. They are rather bright. I fear the only easy way to dim them will be by fitting a decoder. A super little model though. It has run round my layout faultlessly despite many gradient changes etc. The only other six wheeled vehicle I have is a Stove R. I had to modify the centre axle arrangements to get that to run reliably. Well done Hattons.

    To go out and pick up a token instrument from an auction house or stay home and wait for the postie with my Genesis tool van… Sore back and dirty hands tonight.

    It was an unusual train inasmuch it was all vans but the timing was the thing that stood out. Class 6 to class 8 time. Also by 1981 it was the only train booked out of the siding at Ely North Junction, my big signalbox in the garden.. I’m currently looking through my working timetables to refresh my memory.

    There was a very regular traffic flow from.Ely North Junction to Exeter. 6V59 ran to class 8 timings and consisted entirely of vans. I suspect it ran from Wissington, Saddlebow or Takeley as required also with other destinations. The product carried was Beetnuts. A byproduct of the sugarbeet process and used as cattle feed.

    I'm looking for a Vitrains coupling assembly for a class 47. It seems to be held in with two screws and has springs etc..

    I have a working mechanical searchlight at home and all the bits to make another that will most probably be at the MNR. The bits came from the last one in use at Littlebury

    There is a certain innocence with the the control circuit. Judging by later circuits i have they soon found it needed a bit more. I include something direct from the controlling device via the arm to do anythin behind. I could direct you to a place that still has such simple circuitry. The signal was powered by accumulators trickle charged by dry cells. This is really early days of doing stuff in remote locations. This is the only circuit i have that includes a five position indicator.

      A similar ride pre pandemic remains the most crowded I have ever seen a train. People sitting on top of seatbacks with their legs round people in seats.
