Are wire coil loads like this - https://www.goodwoodscenics.co.uk/product-page/bulkscene-4mm-strapped-wire-coils-steel-grey-pack-of-10 only a relatively recent sight in open wagons? I can't recall seeing them much before the 1980s. Were they carried in e.g. wooden opens in British railways (or even before) days? Or maybe they were carried but sheeted over?

The bulk of these are still available. To cover postage, rates are 1 copy £1.00, 2 to 5 copies £2.00 (total, not each!). Can post elsewhere at cost.

I have a large number of issues of the 009 News that I wish to get rid of. These will hopefully be listed in the "News" at some point, but this looks to be some time off and they are getting in the way.
They are from 1986 to 2019, most issues but not all. Postage costs only.

Not sure if there is any track left beyond normal public limits - Cliff quay has been developed quite extensively over the last few years but there might still be some on the "island" in the middle of the old docks.

For anybody who was wondering, the vessel shown on the right of these pics is a recreation of Noah's Ark - see https://arkmuseum.eu/, which has stayed at Ipswich due to the virus.

If any watched the Pembrokeshire Murders - there were some scenes shot at what I guess was meant to be an archive store. This was in a cutting with what looked like rails in it. I have a feeling that I've seen it somewhere before - does anybody know where it is?
