    Yep. I did try to email him to see what was afoot, but it looks like he's changed his email address.

    The sound effects of the football stadium near the station are very effective...

    How did I forget Normanton? (Not to be confused with Peartree & Normanton...)

    And the answer is Mangotsfield, as I'm sure you all know. Gloucester to the left, Bath to the right. Yes, I know I need a haircut...

    Of all the railway companies, the Midland seemed to have the most junction stations set in the "middle of nowhere" or associated with but a small settlement. Trent is the best-known example, but there are so many others with quite large infrastructure: Ambergate Ashchurch Chinley Hellifield Miller's Dale Plus the one I illustrated above. Also smaller ones like: Fiskerton Junction Hawes Junction Ilkeston Junction I'm sure I've missed many others...

    So where was I this afternoon?

    Broadholme loops, Steve. PS Orientation of the original photo was OK; there was a EE Type 3 on each end.

    Crikey. If I were the author I'd be right annoyed... I wonder if I should ask for my pre-order ££ back?

    Quite a few listings on eBay. Someone's trying to sell the complete series for £750 (+ £30 p&p). Most seem to be trying to sell one or two issues for a couple of ££, plus p&p.

    Anyone know when (or if) this'll eventually appear? Should've been published before last Christmas. No show. Then it was March 2024. No show. It's disappeared off both Amazon and BookFinder.com. Crecy website now says April 2024. Any real chance this month?

    That was the "B" I mentioned - Broomhouse. Opened-out in 1969.
  12. Peter Kazmierczak
    "B" and "L" are not so lucky...
  13. Peter Kazmierczak
    Could it be somewhere like Kibworth?

    Was the Bristol & Gloucester built as broad gauge? And if so was it double track? Having walked through the (disused) Staple Hill tunnel between Mangotsfield and Fishponds, the dimensions don't appear sufficient for double broad gauge track. Just a wonderin', as the books I've read lack clarity on this.

    I've decided to slightly alter the name of the layout to Aston-on-Trent; more in keeping with how the MR/LMS would've likely called it.

    Made up some wagon loads; it is real gypsum in the wagons albeit powdered. As an aside, are the Mainline 16t mineral wagons too long? Comparing it alongside a Bachmann tippler they have a different wheelbase. Or were tipplers shorter?
  17. Peter Kazmierczak
    Very nice. I'm just making a small exchange yard from a gypsum mine (Aston upon Trent). What did you use as gypsum for wagon loads? Tried to source some gypsum, but all I could find was the powdered variety. Even emailed a stone firm, but they never got back to me...

    I'd notch the track if you want to take that approach, Rob, rather than cut the rail all the way through.

    There used to be two signalboxes at Saxby; Saxby Station Jn and Saxby West Jn. The photo is of the latter - hence the uneven lettering on the nameboard.

    Poole up to Parkstone (supplied by Bournemouth).
  21. Peter Kazmierczak
    Weymouth up to Bincombe.
  22. Peter Kazmierczak
    Bristol Barrow Road up to Fishponds.

    Brightening-up a damp and dismal Poole this afternoon...
  24. Peter Kazmierczak
    Thameslink here, Thameslink there, Thameslink blinking everywhere... This morning south of Purley on the Brighton line.

    Class 70 heaven at Southampton MCT on Sunday morning, with almost a third of the Freightliner batch present.
