Unfortunately, this has not been my findings with customer response.

But as always with any supplier, you have good and bad experiences. When you place an order at the start of the month, yet nothing has been delivered and two emails / contact forms later with no response one does question ordering again!

Pulling out of York on Tuesday, 185109

Whilst in York, would be wrong not to have a quick look around. 68024 on a Scarborough service. Working near to Stourbridge Junction, you can hear these locos climb up from Lye. But listening to this pull out of York yesterday, I can understand why residents complain about the noise. Personally, I love these loco's

A little walk down the platform at York on Tuesday found 37401 having a little rest. 

See having arrived at Bridgnorth during the SVR gala, 68003 running round it’s train.

Well done Revolution, really good news on this announcement.

With the News from today, come on Accurascale lets have the news of a Class 195, 196, 197 or 185?

Im not sure if we have a topic already for this, but I thought I would post these photos.

I had to take the car in for her service on Wednesday and had a walk up the the Bilston Road in Wolverhampton to look at the old railway / canal wharf. The railway track is still in situ along with the buffer stops for which can be see through the vegetation.

The new DB Steel terminal is just the other side of the main railway line, the bridge is still there for which still connects this to the old.

I found it quite interesting that with the all the building work and modernisation in Wolverhampton, this still exists.

Running from Canton to Doncaster, its always nice to see something out of the ordinary running through Blakedown, TFW 158 837.

Taken on Wednesday 23 February 2022, the Corby to Margam T.C service running through Blakedown. 

Talking of the sun, but it provides the train from a different angle.

Maybe, but your mate had the chips!!!

A TPE 185 would be good too, it’s something different.

Hi Fran. What about doing a modern image DMU for the modellers who don’t either  live In the south, model Yorkshire or model the mid century.

Maybe a class 175 or the new CAF 196/197?

A rather sunny Tuesday, saw the delivery of the weed killer train to the Severn valley railway. 
Funnily I took this photo at the same time as a Jim was taking his from the other side of the platform.

You may want to try a model shop with De and Rails in its name 

Hi All

I hope that everyone is well and enjoying the weekend.

I am looking for assistance in regards to obtaining a framed picture of the above steam loco.

The reason for this is that my son attends a school in Wolverhampton called Wightwick Hall School. Following a meeting at the school I discovered that they have a number plate from the above loco and I suggested that it would be ideal to have a nice picture of said loco hanging above the number plate. A number of the staff weren't aware what the plate was from, let alone from a steam loco with the same name.

Ironically the school seems to have a connection to railways as they have the original station clock from Snow Hill for which takes pride of place above the main entrance.

I apologise for the length of message but after weeks of trying make contact along with similar messages to the the societies and railways connected to the loco with no returned communication, I am now turning to the RMWeb for your help.

Any assistance in obtaining a picture / photo of the above would be gratefully appreciated.

I look forward to hearing back from anyone who can help.

Kind Regards
