  1. 86240 approaches Quintinshill on 14/7/90 with 1S40 Poole - Edinburgh.
  2. 56031 spreads exhaust over Middlesbrough as it takes a rake of empty MGR's from Tees Yard to Redcar coal terminal, 5/3/2001.
  3. Here's the view from the same bridge in May 1990.
  4. RSHN 7603 according to the original Flickr post. Douglas
  5. Does anyone have a spare B1 coach bogie that they could spare? They are available from Bachmann spares dept as a pair but I only need one. Quite happy to pay reasonable cost and postage of course. Thanks in advance. Douglas
  6. SInce I posted the picture, I've discovered it was being used to launch Sprinter services in the North East and in fact worked the 11:15 Newcastle - Middlesbrough service the following day. It carries a headboard which says "Sprinter Link" in connection with the launch, perhaps it should have said here are the trains you are not going to get!
  7. Here's 150001 between Newcastle and Manors on 8/8/85, but not in passenger service, it was on a test run, but no idea what was being tested I'm afraid.
  8. The picture of 55022 is on the SVR Deltic Venturer, a top day out and I was fortunate to be travelling on it. Sorry I can't ID the location. See; https://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/80s/811128sv.htm Hope this helps, Douglas
  9. I have 3 with the tail lamp on, PM me with your details and I'll post them to you. Douglas
  10. My settings are "no downloads" and "no sharing". I don't think I was barking, it was a polite request in my view. Think I've got to the bottom of it, the picture above was from another Flickr site who I had allowed to use the picture, maybe that site's settings are different to mine .
  11. That first picture with the train at the level crossing is my copyright and I do't recall giving you permission to post it. Had you asked then I would probably given it but as you didn't, I'd like you to take it down please ASAP. The site it came from asked me if he could could use it. Douglas
  12. After some email chat with John from CCT this afternoon, he's about to issue sheet BL184 which will have enough transfers to do 25 pre-TOPS 1/120 minfits (which became MDV's), including "TO WORK WITHIN / SOUTH WALES AND / MONMOUTHSHIRE ONLY"; price £8.00 including UK P&P for 4mm. scale.
  13. Please do, if there's demand they may push them higher up the queue! Douglas
  14. I did ask the question about 4mm as I want 20-odd wagons worth myself but their response was to just keep watching the new releases section of their website. Douglas
  15. Great news John, I've just ordered one. Douglas
  16. Could it just have been a single wagon going for/coming off repair?
  17. The L & N don't stop here anymore - Johnny Cash, though I prefer the Michelle Shocked version. The Death of the Dining Car by Lau, off the album The Bell that never rang.
  18. Chris Rea had an album out in 1979 called Deltics - can't be a coincidence. White Room by Cream includes the following lyrics; You said no strings could secure you at the station Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows I walked into such a sad time at the station As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning Douglas
  19. 40079 at Preston in the early hours of Saturday 12/01/85 with 1S04 Man Vic - Glasgow newspapers & parcels.
  20. Is that Phil Sutton (L) and Murray Brown (R) performing the naming?
  21. Many thanks for taking the time to respond, I'll investigate using the existing wheels before spending my hard earned! Douglas
  22. I have a rake of Bachmann Mk 2 TSO's and I'm looking for replacement wheelsets to convert to EM gauge. They are early vacuum braked models, so would be clasp brakes rather than disc. Can anyone suggest which would be the best option? Thanks in advance, Douglas
