    Could anyone tell me what this coach is/was? I've got a feeling that this was an inspection saloon, but I'm not too sure. The yellow end & horns on the roof indicate that it would be propelled quite a lot, supporting my inspection saloon theory, but the lack of windows on the end don't support that idea. I seem to remember someone informing me it is ex GWR but I'd like to know more about it.

      The stresses of operating in the elite league no doubt. I know exactly how expensive it is these days in speedway not just running my bike but also spannering for riders in the premier league. Elite league speedway is a very expensive league to operate in riders have larger costs for bikes etc & the clubs have larger bills trying to get gp riders year in year.

    It sure feels good to do some modelling again.

    Does anyone else find that tidying is more like moving the mess from one part of a room to another?

      If you are a railway modeller (and therefore an inveterate hoarder) yes it is!

    15th November 1928. G H Wood was on test and the IMR's locomotive superintendent took her out for an unplanned test run to Port Soderick. Unfortunately a Thursdays only market train was coasting down to Douglas with Tynwald in charge. The collision buckled G H Wood's frames. Before G H Wood could run again, a forge had to be built to repair her frames, which were buckled again when she collided with Hutchinson in 1967. It's ironic that Tynwald only exists as a set of frames while G H Wood is still in front line service on the IMR!

    Spot on, back to you EddieB.

    I think I should add another clue, the loco in question spent well over a decade in store before revival with another loco's boiler in 1993.
  25. LH&JC
    OK Which surviving Manx Peacock has the dubious distinction of not working a single train following a heavy overhaul?
