I suspect that Lister was only named on one side because the nameplate came from a piece of equipment at the factory and they only had one of them.

We managed to move the layout between the showers so Cross Street is now safely housed in the Bentley MRG clubrooms. The next move should be to Melksham and Trainwest.

Cross Street has arrived in Wiltshire and is now erected in a garage in Chippenham.
The damage in transit is minimal - one signal needs to be glued down again.
The plan is to move it to the clubroom tomorrow and then get it working.
Trainwest here we come...

STOP PRESS. Cross Street has a new owner - me.
I am now arranging for it to be transported from Lancashire to Wiltshire with a view to it making its exhibition debut at Trainwest.
I don't have any firm plans for the layout after that, so if you want to see Cross Street in action you will have to come to the show.

D6328 is not one of their best sellers for a fairly obvious reason.
This is the real thing: https://farm7.staticflickr.com/6054/6260767848_ab91a01a1d.jpg .
This is the model: http://www.ehattons.com/56924/Dapol_D1000h_Class_22_B_B_Diesel_Hydraulic_D6328_font_A_in_BR_blue_with_full_yellow_ends/StockDetail.aspx .
Spot the deliberate mistake.
As for a green one with headcode boxes but no yellow panels, the Dapol model depicts the batch D6313-32 and none of those carried this variation.
