    Chris, Would you enlighten us as to how you made the winding sheaves please? They look very effective.
  2. Peter Kazmierczak
    Many thanks. Never realised that before.

    What caught my eye in Jo's picture (which I've included below) is the signal in the background. Is it usual to have the aspects illuminated for the reversable direction working?

    Not a lot to see this morning.....
  5. Peter Kazmierczak
    Actually I think it will one day.

    Late afternoon arrival from Waterloo at Poole.

    Fair point Nidge. I suppose even Thousands had their problems.... Now if it'd been a "Peak" that had been dropped, I wonder if that would've holed the ship.

    Already getting engine and (possible) bogie swaps. So how robust/reliable are the Cl.70s then?
  9. Peter Kazmierczak
    Thanks Ian and Jim. I see your point; I'll cross off the camber from my list..... Perhaps the biggest cliche of all is people like me sitting at a keyboard on this forum, calling themselves "Railway Modellers", and not doing any blinking modelling.....

    Don't know if these are cliches, but I've seen enough layouts exhibiting these features: 1. Lots and lots of identical little plastic fir trees on the hillside 2. Roads with no camber, overscale and roughly painted lane markings and no curved edges at road junctions - the roads meeting at 90 degrees to each other on the corners

    Here's one to start the ball rolling. 444016 on the 08.44 Totton-Weymouth, passes classmate 444036 at Poole on the 09.03 Weymouth-Totton this morning. Trains were terminating at Totton due to all lines in the Southampton area being closed for engineering work this weekend.

    A view at the rear of the depot in the middle of 1987, contrasting a damaged Cl.25 with newly named 58050. The houses of Long Eaton form a backdrop, whilst on the horizon is the now demolished chimneys and cooling towers of Castle Donington power station.

    A view across Toton Centre towards the North Yard in the mid 1980s. A dozen "Peaks" and a couple of Cl.25s await their movement to the breakers yard.

    About to be overtaken somewhere along the Trent Valley.
  15. Peter Kazmierczak
    Oh dear, but did my thoughts come true
  16. Peter Kazmierczak
    Congratulations to all who entered - sometimes it's hard to put one's head over the parapet so well done.
  17. Peter Kazmierczak
    Reminded me of Camden. Very good picture.
  18. Peter Kazmierczak
    Hope they don't have an "Earth Fault" moment as on the recent CSX thread.

    It even snows in Bournemouth; some snowy trackwork near Milton Road.
  20. Peter Kazmierczak
    Looks bitter there this morning. What's parked-up in the siding at the bottom of the screen?
  21. Peter Kazmierczak
    I was on it around lunchtime and it was working fine then. Despite the snow the shunters were shunting and the electric-hauled freights (remember them in the UK?) were passing through with their usual efficiency.
  22. Peter Kazmierczak
    It's working fine for me. A couple of shunters are, well shunting, in the yard at the mo.
  23. Peter Kazmierczak
    Think someone needs to go up the pole with a brush and some de-icer again, as the picture is non-existent at the mo.
  24. Peter Kazmierczak
    Pity I couldn't afford colour film in those days..... Warship D814 and Hymek D7025 await their next duties.

    Around this period many of the diesels on the LMR in the Midlands were allocated to the "Midland Lines" pool, so as long as the driver had route and traction knowledge, it wouldn't matter whether it was a BR Type 2 (Class 25) or a BRCW one (class 27).
