A Contemporary Perspective on LMS Railway Signalling by Allen Jackson 2015 Can post at cost or collection from Chesterfield, Derbyshire

Free to a good home. These are heavy so would cost quite a lot to post, although I can sort something out if you wanted Collection from Chesterfield.

Yeah, I know where Bell End is

I know I can find out more about these layouts on your website, but for the precis, the location/premise and period of the layout would be of far more interest to me than the scale.

I'm assuming that the power cars must be standalone vehicles rather than part of an EMU, in the same way the Swiss often had single power units, sometimes with only one cab, that work with other power cars, hauled stock and driving trailers or even locos. Oh, for standard couplers and control systems... I think the running number is on the blue stripe at the bottom, in the middle of the vehicle. Edit: Dunno why I didn't google before, anyway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NMBS/SNCB_M7_railcar It seems the power cars are Bmx!

And then the Greeat war decimated horse numbers and such incidents became less frequent... 😇

Is it just me or is the DB logo on the side wonky?

Ecublens, Vaud, Switzerland to be more precise. Quite where in Ecublens I'm not sure, there are mutiple stations, yards and junctions inthe greater area. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ecublens,+Switzerland/@46.5286182,6.5424166,6034m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x478c31052cbee56f:0x400ff8840198520!8m2!3d46.5296363!4d6.5615252!16zL20vMDJ2NnEy?entry=ttu Possibly on the Lausanne M1 metro line where the track doubles at stations. There are level crossings at many of them, ideal for taking a photo at that angle. My guess is here , but there is no StreetView.

Or standing on the platform as an open door comes towards them!

I'm toying with the idea of calling my putative model layout of Lawrence Mass 'Immigrant City'

I’m curious, I assume it’s standard design steam loco with a round boiler, rather than something strange like a Sentinal or a tram engine? If so I’m not sure how you get the chimney upside down!

Don't forget the bell!
