    Passed the remains of 43125 & 43128 on a low loader this evening on the M42. Looks like the HST cull has begun!

      It was full cab and roof sections heading West on the M42.

      Mark,

      I can't wait, so much has been on the back burner for the past two years. I want to get Newton Abbot ready for the exhibition circuit by the end of the decade, so there is much to be done!

    Today we drove for the first time on the much-vaunted 'South Devon Link Road', a whole 1.5 miles or so of new dual carriageway, better described as the 'Kingskerswell By-Pass'. It's taken ages to build, and the local politicians will dine out on their association with it for years to come.

      It has wrecked the famous views of Aller Junction, that's for sure!

      I lost my Grandad 18 years ago, I still miss 'playing trains' with him.

      Feel your loss mate.

    What a great day for Cricket yesterday. England finished of the Aussies. Joe Root went to number one in the ICC world batting rankings, and Yorkshire recovered from 79-5 to 420-9 against Durham.

    1. Andy M

      Andy M

      Job done! Tykes 50+ clear at the top of the County Championship with a game in hand. I'd say it's game over for this year. Brilliant for Joe Root as well, he really deserves it. Proper Yorkie Boy and a good lad to boot.

    How many 2800's can you reasonably justify on a secondary main line?

    1. Andy M

      Andy M

      Great models, on a par with the Grange and Castle but not the new Hall unfortunately!

    How many 2800's can you reasonably justify on a secondary main line?

    1. Andy M

      Andy M

      Definitely no more than eighty-four 28xx's, although you could supplement with eighty-three 2884's if you get short of motive power!

      Would cost you a few quid though.
