  1. Didn't they also do a top light steel sided passenger brake van
  2. You could try Selby library, see if they have a local history section. I don't know about Selby but Leeds Library has an extensive collection of local photos which are available on line. Selby library may have a similar collection
  3. Oh well I'll get ready for the annual frothathon, although I don't intend to take part I shall read everyone else's carefully considered and reasoned suggestions (wishlisting) with interest.
  4. I thought they had abandoned the idea of an annual announcement in favour of announcing announcements throughout the year
  5. I know, it's a coronation tie in. That would be really original!
  6. Perhaps they are finally replacing their old collett coaches
  7. I was just going to ask "where did they keep the coal"
  8. Two sets ordered. Just don't tell the other half!
  9. Got it, a start of the art "Flying Scotsman" to commerate the anniversary of something or other
  10. Did I read that H were moving away from the annual announcement fest towards various announcements throughout the year? Or did I imagine that?
  11. Has there been any further news on the corridor coaches. We were promised an announcement later in the year!
  12. Emails. Day was I'd get into work deal with the days post, put the file back in the cabinet knowing I wouldn't need to look at it until at least the next day, if not the day after. Now I send an email and get a response in five minutes! 🤬
  13. I remember as a child there was a baggage crossing across the tracks at the Eastern end of the station. Wouldn't be allowed today.
  14. I suppose when they get round to the section between Leeds and Church Fenton that will mean the end of the North Eastern footbridge at Garforth. Shame it's one of only two listed buildings in the town.
  15. I must say the second hand market for these is buoyant. A six wheel tool van in BR black sold on eBay for over eighty quid. Think I'll wait and see if Hattons does a second run.
  16. I'd be inclined to use the turned brass stanchions sold for model boats. Sturdier than white metal and less chance of bending if inadvertently knocked.
  17. It's a very pretty little thing. The price I expect reflects the increase in the cost of almost everything over the last year
  18. I see from Facebook that Heljan have announced that following Hornby's announcement and the duplication of the locos they were going to do that they are dropping their TT proposals.
  19. I would love to know how much of Hornby's precious cash reserves have been spent on this. I'm a natural pessimist and I don't see big sales in the short term to claw that money back. Could this be the last of Hornby?
  20. It's probably yet another livery for the Pecket. These announcements tend to be re-livieries of existing models.
  21. I've got it, to tie in with the new film about Marilyn Monroe it's the train off "Some like it hot".
