    Thank you. I think the Chevettes are the best model RailNscale have done so far, nice sharp details.Managed to get all the underframe details added to the 4TC set this morning. I’ll post a picture later.

    The latest batch of RailNscale cars are now complete. I've just ordered a Chevanne and a couple of Range Rovers plus some chimney pots, also some NEM bar couplers of varying lengths and a Reliant Robin ( looks like a Rialto ) from other sellers on Shapeways. Here are a couple pictures showing all the cars from RailNscale that I've done so far. Cavaliers and Chevettes. Volvos, Skodas and Peugeots.

    A wee bit of progress with the 4TC. All the windows have now been cut out and the cab has been sprayed the correct yellow. I've got some fuse wire from Wilko to make up the jumpers. The cab can then be glued complete into the coach body once they are finished. Rattle cans of Rail Blue and grey have also been purchased. Various diameters of Evergreen tube are being used to make up the various air tanks and some American Limited coach parts are being used for battery boxes, isolating cocks and other underframe details.

    No, won’t be any 1/76. They don’t even do 1/87. I imagine the cost would be prohibitive.

    Had an email from Maurice at RailNscale today. I had asked were there any plans for some British cars that sold well in Europe. He has quite a few projects on the go including some of British Leylands finest. I won’t list what was mentioned but hopefully we won’t be disappointed. He did say that anything that isn’t in 1/148 yet he will make from the 1/160 Models, just let him know what you want.

    This might help with production dates as Luton started later than Antwerp building Cavaliers, so for some time all were imports. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vauxhall_Cavalier

    Many years ago we had a family holiday Berwick, just north of the town in a chalet......Deltics all day what wasn’t to like. I’ve also stayed at a holiday park next to the railway line in Tenby about 1982 that had a camper and tent area.

    Camping is a big thing in the Netherlands, lots of people have there own pitch.

    It’s worth dropping Maurice an email, my replies were quick and I’m sure he would be open to suggestions, especially if they were Paneuropean.

    The Chevanne has now been released by RailNscale. With or without delivery man. https://railnscale.com/2018/08/09/bedford-chevanne/

    I have The Molasses three pack on order too. No invoice sent yet. I expect they are still plodding through the orders.

    Superb stuff.

    Not tried the Partridge, very much enjoy Hophead. I’m going south for the exhibition in November......not as far as you though.

    Had Europcar in York give us a Citroen C1 when we had booked a Ford Fiesta. Day we took it back spotted the tax disc was a month out of date.

    One of my colleagues in Control put out a pager message to say that the trip wires had been activated, needless to say that generated a lot of panicky phone calls, even though it was the S&T that had set them off. I always thought if a plane was low enough to hit them you would know about it!

    Up Chichester vans. The caption supplied with this negative says E6022 with Parcels train in July 1964. Well the date is clearly wrong as the loco and vans are all in rail blue with the loco having full yellow ends. Date more likely July 1974. Both the EMU's in the distance appear to be in Blue / Grey livery. The loco is indeed E6022 ( 73116 ). UFL just south of Gatwick Airport station. The posts alongside the line carry the trip wires to turn the signalling to red if hit by a low flying plane!

    Hope Mr Clements paid for it.

    The coach was detached at Brighton and attached to a Mk1 rake that probably came from New X Gate or Clapham Yard.

    The notes on the slide say 1330 B Arms to Brighton. I do have a MF B&W neg of what is probably the Chichester vans northbound at Gatwick. I’ll post that later, think this loaded with tomatoes etc from Angmering.

    Excellent layout, saw it at the Doncaster show this year. I remember getting a train from my relatives in Nottingham up to Alfreton and Mansfield parkway then the bus to Shirebrook back in the early 1980s. The town was very grimy and run down but a short walk to the depot made it worth while. My uncle who was a sales rep meet me at lunchtime and we blagged a quick look round the depot.

    Brighton and Hove Albion football team often travelled to the match on the supporters special train. The Pullman was used for them. Its E315 Heron which luckily Farish have modelled.
