    EBay madness

    This counts as Madness because they were a 2-Tone novelty act too : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Heljan-REPAINTED-CLASS-33-D6508-BR-GREEN-DIESEL-LOCO_W0QQitemZ390176435076QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Trains_Railway_Models?hash=item5ad853eb84#ht_4642wt_1165

  9. Here's a lovely shot of a Deltic at work contentedly on the Route: http://www.railbrit....e2.php?id=24478 And for the first time, a nice broadside of D1970, at a very unexpected location! http://www.railbrit....e2.php?id=27278 And here, imported from my layout thread is a phenomenon that everyone else probably knows about already, but this is the first time I'd seen such a thing: Timeline 1967, it's Perth ScR, and here's a Deltic which probably worked into Hawick at least looking like this: link to nowhere removed. It was D9010 in green with full yellow ends and double-arrows. I've yet to check when she went into BFYE, but that livery variation is outlandish, I love it! Yet another excuse for having a Type 5
  10. I'm sure we've seen this homely image before, maybe not. Look at the mail bags waiting for 2S52, and great detail shots for the footbridge. http://www.railbrit.co.uk/imageenlarge/imagecomplete2.php?id=27841 Here, as raised on the Alston DMU thread, is footage of the Saturday light engine trip that used to return not only the Hawick pilot, as shown here at Gorebridge, but as the caption notes, any stray jockoes that warranted attention at home depot, 64G. Incidentally, one of my favourite Waverley Route shots, I've decided, what a traction combo!!!! http://www.railbrit.co.uk/imageenlarge/imagecomplete2.php?id=17882

  13. Indeed, in this instance we are indebted to the redoubtable Peter Howie Esq who, whilst seemingly having scant interest in the Waverley trunk, did capture the Border Counties branch - and, in fairness, Riccarton and nearby Steele Road for good measure. As Nick Catford exhorts us on the excellent Disused Stations site, it's the years immediately post closure that we want to see pictures of, with most artefacts intact; not the inevitable 1990s car park where the station once bustled - or more likely slumbered. In my case, immediately post-tracklifting is very interesting, so these couple of Waverley 1971 pictures are good finds. Not of relevance here, but also on the above site there is a great photo of Snow Hill in its car park phase, whilst still open for the Wolverhampton LL shuttle, and also some of Fleetwood in 1967 that I'd never seen either.
  14. Move along, there's nothing to see here, except for: http://myrailwaystation.com/FORMER%20LOCATIONS/pages/DEADWATER%20STATION%20%201971%20Ex%20N_%20B_%20R_%20photo%20by%20Peter%20Howie%20_jpg.htm, this http://myrailwaystation.com/FORMER%20LOCATIONS/pages/PLASHETTS%20STATION%20%20Ex%20N_%20B_%20R_%201971_%20Photo%20by%20Peter%20Howie_jpg.htm and THIS http://myrailwaystation.com/FORMER%20LOCATIONS/pages/MAXTON%20STATION%20%20Ex%20N_%20B_%20R_%20c%201950%20_jpg.htm http://myrailwaystation.com/FORMER%20LOCATIONS/pages/REEDSMOUTH%20STATION%20%20Ex%20N_%20B_%20R_%201971_%20Photo%20by%20Peter%20Howie_jpg.htm http://myrailwaystation.com/FORMER%20LOCATIONS/pages/SAUGHTREE%20%20STATION%20%20Ex%20N_%20B_%20R_%201971_%20Photo%20by%20Peter%20Howie_jpg.htm not forgetting this http://myrailwaystation.com/FORMER%20LOCATIONS/pages/RICCARTON%20JUNCTION%20%20Ex%20N_%20B_%20R_%201971_%20Photo%20by%20Peter%20Howie_jpg.htm Silloth after closure: http://myrailwaystation.com/FORMER%20LOCATIONS/pages/SILLOTH%20%20STATION%20%20Ex%20N_%20B_%20R_%20%201972_%20%20Photo%20by%20Peter%20Howie%20_jpg.htm Steele Road: http://myrailwaystation.com/FORMER%20LOCATIONS/pages/STEELE%20%20ROAD%20%20STATION%20%20Ex%20N_%20B_%20R_%201972_%20%20Photo%20by%20Peter%20Howie%20_jpg.htm

    You're the lucky ones then, because they certainly didn't operate on the Waverley Route. However, Class 22s and 43s were regularly given mileage accumulation runs over it, a sauce has advised.
  16. I think he's going to do stage one weathering first, then fit the handrails.
  17. No, you've lost me. Give us a clue please. Or is it something to do with Hornby 86s being the most faithful rendition of the prototype since a turnip landed on my workbench in 1973?

  19. Here's a faultless image of an NB single track tunnel portal on the Peebles loop, suitable for scaling, should anyone be in the market for such things. Incredible psychedelic weathering here, and I just remembered the similar pictures of Glenfarg's portals which would make decent double-track Waverley templates in the absence of clear shots of Bowshank. Will post the links to those later, if I can find them. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2221/2311503616_6d53b90974.jpg
