Trainshed Terry

There is no good time to sell on Ebay, as many items will sell for what people wish to pay for the item that wish to purchase. Terry.

This makes for intresting reading, there some I agree with a lot I don't Terry.

You beating me to it. Terry.

I havw watched this video, it is good but being silent it makes a chore to watch with no sound. Terry.

I found this image of the 351/2 ton brake tender that you asked about. Please follow the link to the "Southern Railway Email Group. I hope that helps. Terry.

And My money. Come back wallet. Terry.

I lke the shadow on the right hand buffer, it looks like a tortoise shell. Terry.

That is a very sad sight and would make a great cake box challenge model. Terry.

And the human interface for looking for track defects. Terry.

I am going to throw the "Crosti 9F" fitted with smoke deflector fitted as one of my favouritess. Terry

Right I think I shall join this thread. I was kicked out of the door of my previous job due this national company was not prepared to support me with reasonable adjustments under the “equality act 2010” let alone spend the money to sustain them on a long term situation. So they decided to push me out of the door (With package) after 23+ years service. Then the DVLA revoked my driving licence for 7 months due to an incorrectly diagnosed case of sleep apnea, which has had a knock effect on finding a driving position. As prospective employers that have jobs that I am suitable for, and the jobs that are within my skills set allow me to do, safely. As it would increase the company’s insurance premium. I have updated my CV but it has not been great, as for every job I applied for, I A) never get e response to my application, B) get an interview but it goes no further. I have also tried the larger supermarkets and other companies that have policies in employing the more mature person. I have in the past applied to the local TOC, but I have been advised that due to my disability (dyslexia), I am excluded from all jobs within that company. I could do that I did in the past when I worked for “British Rail 1979 – 1989”. That SUCK’S. I left BR employment due to a family circumstance, in hind sight it was a wrong move. As I had ten happy years working for BR. I do have two “Zero hour” contracts that I do, but work form these compines has dried up since the Covid-19 lockdown in March. I have not had any work from these two companies since early May for one and early February for the other one. I have been suffering with depression for the past 20+ years and I am under the care of my doctor. The ongoing situation with covid-19 is not helping those people with mental health problems. Unfortunately My mother died in April, so I know have a nest egg to get me through to my 60th birthday in 2022. Which kicks in on that date. I have given up all hope in finding full time employment before then. I have registered with job sites like Indeed Careers.co.uk. Reed.co.uk, Fish4jobs and the government web site “find a job”, and many others but as most of the position that they come up with are not in my skill set as they are carers positions that I get through these web sites are working in old people’s home. That is not me. I have also tried registering with job agencies and have found there is a lack of intrest in helping me to get employment. I personal feel that the jobs market has changed so much due to Covid-19 coming to light, there is going to be a lot of job losses over the next few years and it is going to take a long time for the jobs market to recover to its current state. Terry.

He lived and died. R.I.P 007. Terry.

The local "Kia" dealer has that system in place so that the customers can observe there cars being MOT'd . Terry.

Currently listing to "Brice Springsteen" new CD, "letter to You" Very Different from his early music. Terry.

Who is going to be brave enough to do that weathering on a "00" gauge model. Terry.

To get thje definitive answer is to contact "BigJim" as they are his regular traction that he drives as he works for "GBRF".

I totally agree with the other idiots need to be removed as they are twats like "Clarkson." I just wish that they would cover more importaint news in the motoring world.

I do believe that the fith door was fitted to the locos you mention as there is no access from the drivers cab at that end. IIRC!.

Is it me or is there more than one link to the forum update as I have counted 3 for this thread alone.

What year was that gem of a photography taken.........more to the point the location, all I can think is that that could be 1953 floods.

I bet it sounded better than a voyager. Terry.

I have just checked through the "British Railways MK 1 Coaches book" by KeithParkin MA, and the bogie on the left is a "Commonwealth design" and the one on the right is "BR 1 basic double bolster bogie. I hope that is of help to you. Terry.
