Paul A Lunn (I think) did a very nice plan of lapford station in Railway Modeller back in the 1990s and yes, a 50 and two MkIs! what's not to like about that?? and a bit of freight activity to, spot on Paul A Lunn (I think) did a very nice plan of lapford station in Railway Modeller back in the 1990s and yes, a 50 and two MkIs! what's not to like about that?? and a bit of freight activity to, spot on

Hi, would anyone happen to know of the proposed DMU fuelling facilities at the back of the DOWN platform were ever built?

If you;re modelling the LMR then there are the On Shed series, Part one and Two which cover most of the LMr's depot's and their buildings/history.

Thank you, great details much appreciated

It’s becadue many 16tonnerz found their way onto scrap metal workings that collieries had gantries to observe wagons coming to make sure that they weren’t contaminated before they were loaded with coal

Thank you for the great reply, I think it was toads 2 and 4 that we’re cut off before the depot as stabling roads?

Evening for anyone struggling to find a copy the best thing really is to order it direct, free P&P http://shop.kelsey.co.uk/site/searchList

A long shot, but would anyone happen to know what provision was made for diesels at Hornsey shed. I've "plans" for a partition to be put up for four roads to be given over to diesels and also a plan for those four roads to be reduced to two... but I don't know if either or any work was actually undertaken? was any one there to remember or have any pics of what was actually done?

Evening A bit of a long shot, but has anyone got any copies of the magazine, national railway enthusiasts association, I have issue 26 June 1982, but have never seen any others.....? Would anyone happen to have any or know a source of where they could be viewed?

Afternoon, Would by any chance anyone happen to have any Eastern Region material with a diagram or list of the Eastern Region Divisions?

Good morning, due to last minute additions of additional material, the printing of On Shed Part 2 was delayed slightly and will now be on sale from Wednesday 9th May,

Just a fortnight left until part two is out, of Britain’s survey of diesel depots. Part two cover the Preston division of the LMR and the midland mainline or the LMR. Part one is still in ships for another fortnight. http://shop.kelsey.co.uk/product/BOOKSHED1/on-shed-1-london-midland-region

Hitchin ceased to have an allocation of Class 08 shunters in February 1978 when 08549/50/57 were all reallocated to nearby Finsbury Park, but just wondered when it actually closed as a depot/SP?

Good morning, Is Kentish Town still standing? There were three roundhouses there, are 1, 2, 3 still standing and are they accessible?

Have the HSTs arrived at Haymarket yet? when do they start work?

It's definately Bulgaria road

Evening, saw a map this evening with one road marked "Bulgaria Road" leading from the North Yard to the steam shed, has anyone else heard of the name or know what it might refer to?

I used to see a Network South East liveried Class 47 on the Toton to Castleton long welded rail train in the mid to late 1990s, if that helps

evening, just wondering what services took Class 56s to Cricklewood depot in the mid 1980s.

Evening, was surprised to see a copy of a diagram showing a proposed APT depot at Carlisle Upperby, two track, 280m long, would anyone happen to know anything about this proposed depot?

Evening, after Kingmoor shut in 88, Upperby received an allocated of its 08s until 1995, but by that time who ran it? Also in the Directory of British Engine sheds its says Currock had 08s until it closed in 1999 but the site http://www.gronkgeek.co.uk/2015/ says EWS closed it in 2007. Would anyone know what happened in that 1995 to closure of Currock?

​Afternoon Just wondered about this pic, I can see it says Derby, but where abouts exactly is it? BTW Any one else have the problem that when I go on Rmweb, the space bar wont work? only on RM web does this happen.

Loco line up on depots, Would anyone happen to know if depots had specific instructions to stable certain types of locos on certain lines or in specific types for looking at a lot of depots the same classes often seem to stable on certain roads. saw one of Barrow Hill with all the 20s in one long line will the 47s and 56 were each on seperate roads of half a dozen a piece for example.....? The other point is, where drivers instructed to spead the locos out across the stabling roads, or was it just common sense to avoid trapping in too many locos should one fail Preston Ladywell 121281 img1702-208110-a Preston Ladywell 121281 img1702-208110-a 12th December 1981 A typical early 80s line up of thee Class 40s and a Class 25 in Ladywell Sidings, Preston.

That will be around part 4. There's always the online order... http://shop.kelsey.co.uk/product/BOOKSHED1/on-shed-1-london-midland-region
