  1. I like your choice of loco's; will have an excuse for a Scot or Duchess?
  2. Love the Princess; wish I was old enough to have seen them in action. I was though, fortunate to be able to see and remember the last years of the Duchessses.
  3. Preparing for the SAS....................

  4. On double pay reading RMweb in Heathrow lounge!

      aye, doesn't get much better!

  5. Hello Don, Which period are you interested in? Have you heard of http://www.eastwestrail.org.uk As you probably aware the Oxford Branch is currently truncated at the Newton Road Bridge? Hopefully in the next couple of years the line wiĺl be re-instated.
  6. What's the reasoning behind the 700 on the Class 50?
  7. Watching this video David was obviously a very talented man. R.I.P
  8. I hope so too, missed out on the detailing kit, although I placed an order for a few individual 14xx spares.
  9. That's a shame, I was too young to be able to afford a camera so had very few photos, lots of memories though!
  10. Having a few 404 Errors on the site at the moment.
  11. Whilst doing some tidying up in the garden, Mrs Blackbird landed to see if she could find any food. I kept still and did a "Trigger" (leant on my broom) and she came with 500mm of where I was standing
  12. The original Swanbourne Sidings was a reasonably busy Yard supplementing Bletchley Yard until the decline in Wagon Load Trains. There were several daily Swanbourne to Willesden Freight Trains that required a reversal at Bletchley. One of the problems with Bletchley yard was that at times (when marshalling long trains) it required the Yard Shunter (12073 / 12074) to pull out of the yard into the up Cambridge Platform and then onto the Up Slow Line.
  13. Clive, What a great find, fond memories. Last time I travelled on that section it was fully signalled and staffed, certainly run-down look.
  14. Swanbourne Sidings was a busy yard supplementing Bletchley Yard. It was the Bletchley Flyover that was the white elephant; although it is soon to get a new lease of life when the East / West route fully opens.
  15. Thanks for confirming; I wasn't too sure if "Salters" was a modern term. The run round at Newton Road is now referred to as "Swanborne Siding" when in fact it is at the site of the old "Newton Longville" Signal Box which controlled entry/exit to the old London Brick Works Sidings. The old signal box was located just after the last house on left hand side of Newton Road heading towards the bridge. The original Swanbourne Sidings was located about 1 1/2 miles further west.
  16. Runs as required:- http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/H80049/2014/05/24/advanced
