  1. Oh but you missed that Barbican en prise (that is your actual French).
  2. That blocks the stack on the Met and prevents a straight in run to MC, I am huffed out to White City.
  3. An idea reposted from Faceplant. "Hudson Street and Laight Street, St. John's Park Freight Terminal (N.Y.Central & Hudson River RR) Early 1900's." This could work as a backdrop with the tracks going behind it as far as desired so all the tracks could be switched. BUT If you didn't want to switch them and just want to run trains along the street, the building could be low relief. Get some cheap second hand box cars, cut them diagonally and just have them sit there. Cheers David
  4. The first SCT service from Melbourne to Brisbane earlier in the week. The crew car was carrying the SCT bigwigs and was behind the loading added at Barnawartha. Cheers David
  5. Application of the Frodinger Constriction (obviously the 1953 amendment) should allow me to strile to Carpenders Park.
  6. That unblocks the reverse diagonal and leaves Notting Hill Gate wide open.
  7. Samantha is off to meet a new gentleman friend who has a keen interest in gramophone records. She's helping him soundproof his roof to improve the sound quality, so she has to leave now to get felt up in the loft. Which allows me to make a very quiet huff to Barbican.
  8. They'll have had their tea... Which means the obvious next move is Caledonian Road.
  9. I have my passport so I can go to Pimlico.
  10. While Samantha busies herself on my laptop, I can just avoiding knip with a semi-huff to Tottenham Hale.
  11. Here's part of the GWR centenary film. You can see the tender from about 1:30. http://www.swindonviewpoint.com/video/cameo-how-swindon-started Cheers David
  12. According to Transport History (Graphmitre, 1978) p102, "Its tender in the G.W.R. centenary film of 1935 was a standard gauge plywood mock-up which still survived derelict at Swindon in 1964". Cheers David
  13. It matches the tender off North Star. Possibly from the 1923 replica? Cheers David
  14. The bogies don't tilt. The body profile allows up to 6 degrees of tilting. They were intended to to be retroftted with APT-derived bogies if a tilt mechanism was added later. Yes, the CAF coaches for both ScotRail and TransPennine are designated the Mk 5. Here's some thoughts on more fictional rollingstock. Suppose the parcels and newspaper traffic had continued and there was a need for a more modern GUV. Suppose the mail traffic had continued and the proposal to convert surplus Mk 3 sleepers into 125 mph Post Office storage vans had gone ahead. My understanding is they won't going to convert any to TPOs, just storage vans. The time saving from 125 mph running would have allowed mail to be sorted at the destination rather than en route. I'm guessing they would have used a DVT on these rather than build a new PCV. Or for 100 mph parcel and newspaper trains, what about a PCV derived from a Mk 2 DBSO? EDIT: Suppose milk and/or fish traffic had continued and there was a need for new passenger rated insulated vans, or even refrigerated vans powered by ETS. Cheers David
  15. With the 'and' rule still in force, Highbury and Islington.
  16. Parks with are now wild for three turns or until the token is negated, so Harrow and Wealdstone.
  17. Let's get all the musical references out of the way... So I can move to Green Park.
  18. Either Chicago is really cold or somebody just drove a DeLorean over that section of track at 88mph. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjbYv3VJkkw
  19. "Neil, what have you been feeding SPG???"
  20. That blocks access to secondary crossovers south of the river. The only legal move I can think of is Goodge Street,
  21. That allows me to make a Lyttelton Bounce to Bermondsey.
  22. In what I understand is the leased used move in the game's history, Roding Valley.
  23. Life imitates art. Database geeks will get this. https://xkcd.com/327/ And now Bobby Tables is all grown up and owns a company. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10542519
