Hi Steve Apologies if this has been asked before, but, when was the turntable taken away from RB. Ian

A Couple of Deltics after watching the Regiments ad Racehorses DVD, 55012 in 1978 and 55018 in 1980 had red buffer beams. Ian

Hi Inspired by a photo of 31019 in the latest Strathwood 1970's diesels book can someone tell me which issue of the Rail Express Modeller supplement contained an article on detailing and repainting the Hornby class 31 as 31005/019 in theirs "Stratford" blue livery with grey roofs and red buffer beams please? Ian

Correct, but, each marshall's post is manned by a senior post chief and his deputy, either 2 or 3 flag marshalls and a number of incident marshals(number varies depending on the supposed likelihood of an incident at that location), when a report is sent to the stewards of an infringement it is because at least 2 marshals have witnessed the infringement and it is backed up by a written report which contains the signatures of the 2 or more marshals who had witnessed the incident so it doesn't depend on just 1 person. I'll never forget a few years ago manning the marshals post at the entrance to the new pit lane and writing nearly 50 reports of track irregularities during first practise! Ian

Class 31 31019

Hi The Stewards(or 3) don't make the call, the track infringement call is made by the post chief at the marshalls post which is responsible for that area of track. Ian

Hi Steve Who does the GWR 8 Wheel Tender? Ian

Hi all Does anyone produce an etched 4mm Hull Executive headboard as carried by the Deltics please? Ian

Hi Some scanned prints of Jetstreams at Cardiff in the late 90's GMAJC GMAJD GMAJF GMAJJ all taken in the days when there was an observation terrace at CWL. Ian

Hi Is this one of your former planes? GMAJG at CWL last month

Hi Paperlad, Like the shots of the Qatar A350, will these be used on the new service into Cardiff Wales next year, are you likely to be involved in these flights? ian

Hi What is the GWR cover layout please? Ian

Hi Steve Its been a while since I popped in to look at this thread, you've made remarkable progress, love the condensing pannier, all you need now is for the 15xx kit to be produced. Ian

Hi Jonathan Like the plan although with regard to the junction I'm not sure there would even have been a connection to the up or down main from the branch in LMS days and if the Midland had anything to do with it no facing points at all depending on the importance of the branch, to cite the S&C as an example there was only 1 facing point on the northbound line, at Appleby, and no facing points at all southbound in the whole 72 mile length. If it was me I would base the junction on Garsdale where the train coming from Settle heading for Hawes used toi have to arrive in the northbound platform then reverse across to the bay before continuing to its destination. Ian

Hi Andy Just watched the video, what couplings do you use to get the coaches close coupled please? Ian

Gentlemen Don't put Mr Wade off building another layout otherwise I'll be near 100 by the time he builds his forth! You can always saw a bit off the end when you get to Lydd Rail if it infringes the rules, but then, Isambard Kingdom Brunel said " rules are made for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" Ian

HI Rob Thursday practise is a Monaco thing, they get a day off on Friday which is the usual practise day before Practise 3 and Quali itself as usual on Saturday Ian

I see Jenson is in P12 in FP2 in his first time out in the car, one place behind Stoffel Vandoorne who's been in it all season, don't know whether that says more about how good JB is or how rubbish Vandoorne is! Ian
