  1. Really enjoyed watching your layout this afternoon, bought back happy memories of NSE in the late 80s - well done!
  2. Cradley Heath club get theirs from ‘Ivans’ - renowned for their fish and chips locally and better than having expenses for exhibiting!
  3. 68024 leads 68034 through Uttoxeter station on the 0957 Doncaster to Crewe Gresty Bridge light engine move on 22 September 2022.
  4. The 1050 Longport to Redcar Colas freight seems to get cancelled more than it runs these days so I was glad I turned out to see it this morning - 70817 at its head as it approaches Bamford bridge in Uttoxeter.
  5. While I fully agree with your points on cost Phil (although it’s only £6 to get in to watch Uttoxeter Town - excellent value and good beer in the clubhouse!), I have exhibited several of my small layouts at exhibitions in the West Midlands on my own. I get someone from the hosting club to take over for ‘office visits’, meal breaks etc. and I never charge expenses as I get pleasure from exhibiting and nattering with fellow enthusiasts

    Sound Files.

    Me too! Perhaps adding the unit type and the manufacturer of the sound chip may get you more responses- hope you find out what you need 🙂
  7. Hi. I’m looking for a complete roll of Gaugemaster OO gauge grey underlay, or a few lengths of off cuts if you happen to have any. They are needed by my dad to complete the track work on his OO gauge layout of Woburn Sands. Thanks in advance if you can help!
  8. On this sad morning, 56094 approaches Bamford bridge in Uttoxeter on the 0750 Nottingham Eastcroft to Carlisle yard light engine move - 9 September 2022.
  9. 43299 and 43290 pass Uttoxeter station on the 1055 Derby RTC to Crewe CS working on 8 September 2022.
  10. 56094 passes Bamford bridge in Uttoxeter on the 0915 Carlisle New Yard to Nottingham Eastcroft light engine move on Friday 2 September 2022.
  11. D8107 and D8096 on the return LSL charter from Scarborough to Crewe stop to set down at Uttoxeter on 29 August 2022. 47828 was on the back. Superb sound as they pulled away!
  12. In the early 80s, any changes to the corporate BR blue livery were often frowned upon by "higher authority" and depots told to remove their customisation. Thankfully sense prevailed and more depots started to treat their locos with more pride.
  13. A poor schoolboy shot by me of an unrecorded OC grey stripe class 31/4 approaching Denbigh Hall junction at Bletchley off the Oxford line with an Old Oak Common to Wolverton Works stock move - happy days!
  14. 60028 passing Uttoxeter station on the delayed 11:50 Chaddesden sidings to Ravenhead sidings on 22 August 2022.
  15. I used to go in Railmail regularly when I used to go to Vicarage Road to see Watford play in the early 80’s. Picked up many good bargains in there over a few years, then left a deposit for a Hornby Pacer and they went bust, taking my pennies with them! Prior to that they’d had a fire and moved to a shop just up the road from Watford junction station.
  16. Brilliant photo of M1524 here on traintesting.com. http://www.traintesting.com/images/Buffet_car_-_Peter_Fox.JPG

  18. 56113 passes Uttoxeter station on the late running 10:50 Longport to Redcar working on 12 August 2022. 56096 was on the back of the train, not running.
  19. 43290 and 43299 pass through Uttoxeter station working the 1050 Derby RTC to Crewe CS on 11 August 2022.
  20. Fab photos Mark, it was amazing to see the place I lived until recently and rode around almost daily being used for such a prestigious event.
  21. It is 08825, I saw it being dropped off the low loader as I drove past on the M6 last Monday afternoon.
  22. The tint on the drivers window is clearly visible here on 37401, passing Uttoxeter station earlier today (29/7/22).
  23. 37401 sounds superb opening up through Uttoxeter station working a Carlisle to Crewe test train (9703 on the rear) on 29 July 2022.
  24. 88004 rolls through Uttoxeter station on 28 July 2022 on a Doncaster to Crewe light engine move.
  25. Oh gosh, what sad news. Frank was a lovely chap and really encouraging when I took my layout to the Cradley Heath exhibition a few years ago. The fish and chips from 'Ivans' were a delight at lunchtime! A sad loss, thoughts and prayers are with those close to him.
