    I'm assuming they're waiting for the blood and custard Hawksworths to clear before announcing the maroon versions.

    The Heather Findlay Band - I Am Snow

    The Pineapple Thief - Your Wilderness. One of my top five albums of the year.

    Thanks. Falls under "Not quite the right wagon but probably close enough".

    Can anyone ID these wagons? (posted by Irishswisswenie on the Cornwall forum) https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishswissernie/6834838715/in/album-72157629212802745/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishswissernie/6834925965/in/album-72157629212802745/ They look similar but not quite identical. Are they a slightly older type?

    New Model Army - Winter. Impressive gig last week at Reading. Metallica - Hardwired to Self-Destruct. Jury's still out on this one, but they do seem to have been successful in recreating the sound of their earlier and better albums. Crippled Black Phoenix - Bronze. One of those albums that's so inttense you've exhausted by the end of it. Rebecca Downes - Be:Live, which I've just reviewed: http://www.kalyr.com/weblog/music/record-reviews/rebecca-downes-belive/ Cairo - Say. Couple of impressive live gigs last weekend

    They seem to manage on the continent; where the overhead would get in the way (like an intermodal termnal) they electrify the reception roads and use a diesel shunter to move the wagons into the loading/unloading roads. Where it doesn't (like pallet vans), they just electrify the siding.

    Wasn't corrosion a reason for the early withdrawal of so much early-build Mk1 stock in the late 60s and early 70s, much of which was less than 20 years old at the time?

    Having seen a few of these videos, the bad wheelflats only appear on the last leg of the journey. No siign of them at Welwyn North or Peterborough. Did something happen en-route?

    At one time EWS seemed to have a policy that they'd let redundant locos rot until their condition was so poor than nobody other than a scrap merchant would want them. Even then, some 56s went for scrap only for the scrap dealer to resell to Colas who put them back into traffic.

    Weren't some allocation to Laira at one point? Used on the former SR route through Okehampton after the end of steam.

    Didn't he ScR try to use the 21s or rather more demanding work than the WR did with 22s? Like wonking Glasgow-Aberdeen expresses single-handed? The WR would have used a Hymek for an equivalent duty.

    Mantra Vega - The Illusion's Reckoning Ghost Community - Cycle of Life
  15. Tim H
    Breathing Space use to do a great cover of that. Who remembers Breathing Space?

    Voodoo Vegas - Freak Show Candy Floss. Old-school twin-guitar hard rock; had a download for some time, but the pre-ordered physical copy came today. Mostly Autumn - The Ghost Moon Orchestra. Revisiting this one, still a bit of a curate's egg of a record, but when it's good it's very good indeed.

    Opeth - Deliverance This is a magificent album, especially the the title track.
  18. Tim H
    AC/DC - Highway to Hell
  19. Tim H
    Ravenia, Beyond the Walls of Death. Another Finnish band with an opera-trained Valkyrie and a string section. Finland seems to specialise in this sort of thing

    When it comes to GWR types, what about a retooled large prairie? One of the few Poole-era models they've never re-done.

    Doris Brendel - The Last Adventure. Saw her supporting Wishbone Ash on Friday
  22. Tim H
    I see your Boney M and raise you Finnish folk-metallers Turisas

    The 40 is quite a bit longer than the 45, so they can't use the same chassis unless the bogie centres are adjustable.

    At the risk of frothing off the deep end, how about more 45/46 variants? Flush front and split box? Or is the Peak too long in the tooth now?
