How about Penzance?  I have seen a few shots of Class 22s on Long Rock shed and stabled in Ponsandane Goods yard but don't know which workings might have brought them there? Possibly the Hayle Wharves propelling move?

Congratultions, huge thanks and a hearty "Well Done!" to Andy, the team, and all the contributors over the last ten years. Happy Birthday RMWeb.

On the WLA website, go to the 'Sales' page. The bottom item "To celebrate the 50th anniversary of D1062.............." is a clicky for a downloadable order form for the model, complete with postal address and payment details. A £50 deposit will secure your pre-order. 

I had to sign in to Flickr but then didn't have permission to view the piccie either.

This is 'normal' with Western Legacy, formerly Dartwest, Publishing. Books are announced and pre-orders are encouraged, then you get your book when its ready, sometimes quickly but ususally after a fairly long wait. Once you know what to expect its not a problem and according to their website the publishers are doing away with pre-ordering from now on and books will only be announced when they're ready and will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis. Ther Class 22 booklet will be followed in due course by a full sized hardback edition in the style of their Class 52 series.

In maroon livery the spelling would have to be the original and incorrect 'Legionaire'. The loco also ran for over a year in blue livery with the nameplates un-corrected.

There is no pic of D5511 though Ian in this volume- I'm sure I've seen it too but can't recall where (perhaps volume 1 of the same series which covers the pilot scheme diesels?). There is also passing reference to trials of brush 2s in Scotland too..

The pic of D5511 at Fort William is indeed in Volume 1, on P42. It has just arrived from Mallaig and is running round prior to departure for Glasgow, July '58.

Hi Dave. A couple of things stand out for me:- The lower edge of the roof panel above the cab should be horizontal, parallel with the other roof panel edges. All of the slope down to the cab's 'peak' occurs forward of this panel. The horn enclosure looks a little 'flat' at the front making me question the downward slope of the cab roof, maybe not quite steep enough? The curvature on the horn enclosure is also a little too generous as per the front corners of the loco. A much sharper radius can be observed on the real thing. Best of luck in your quest to produce the definitive Western. I've got layout plans which will require several ............... Dave.

Lets not forget Susannah Reid and Dr Alice Roberts, two of my favourites at the moment.
