  1. A couple from the Fairford branch, Brize Norton and Bampton, Carterton both in 1976.
  2. 11 operators for a layout 10' square
  3. Shed for the Bristol (South Wales Junction) survives as part of the wagon works. There are some aerial photos of the B&E area on the Aerofilms site https://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/
  4. There's the answer. Why is your (OP) house dusty? Dog, long hair, carpets? Look to those. Baseboards made of plastic? Static charge on layout? Oh and a tip for keeping the dust off? Turn the layout upside down when not in use, that will definitely keep the dust off.
  5. Bicester 1979, Ascott under Wychwood 1981, Greaves Siding 1998.
  6. Abermule 100 years ago today. January 26th 1921.
  7. Here's a selection of plywood wonder boxes. Bargoed 1997, Black Lion (back of - I didn't go round the front) 1986, Caldicott 1982, Porth 1996, Radyr 1997.
  8. A couple in Bristol. Ashton Junction 1991 Bitton 1978 Bristol Old station 1998 Bristol Loco 1997 Marsh Junction 1992
  9. I have the guide from the 1979 WWoE show. However I think I remember you at the 1977 show - but I don't remember you on the bookstall. Didn't you spend a lot of time on the Studiolith stand? Was it Ann with or without an 'e'?
  10. Former members of Bath Model Railway club (1970-1975), how many can you identify? Scaleforum 2017, picture by Philip Hall.
  11. Strictly, that's a replica box, it's on a new site across the tracks from the original location. They have done a nice job though. Here is a 'before' picture of Swanage in 1985.
  12. Stratford on Avon Evesham Road Crossing and Long Marston in 1979.
  13. I'm told this was the signal box from Dainton Summit, now repurposed as a sailing club at Westbury. And Fairwood Junction in 1978 under some magnificent trees.
  14. I read an interesting statistic yesterday, while a lot of people have been prosecuted for breaking the Covid laws, not a single employer has been prosecuted for an unsafe workplace. Odd that? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jan/14/operation-blame-the-public-covid-unsafe-workplaces-coronavirus-tories
  15. How about the Devon Railway Centre https://devonrailwaycentre.co.uk/model-railways/ It did have Chiltern Green as one of its models.
  16. Aynho 1981, and Appleford Crossing on a very hot day in 1976. The bobby was not enjoying the heat!
  17. Of course, there was the ticket office in the pub, At Farrington Gurney! There was a Pathe newsreel of it - can I find it now? Found it! https://www.britishpathe.com/video/booking-office-in-pub-aka-booking-office-in-inn-or/query/office+pub
  18. Do Kidderminster and Bridgnorth count?
  19. Another now you don't see it, now you do! Winchcombe in 1980, and 1992. But I haven't scanned any outside pictures of Winchcombe yet, so the interior will have to do!
  20. Radstock West at Radstock 1975, and then at Didcot 1978 and 1998.
  21. I waited 53 years to watch this (I bought that RM), no "come up and see my model railway" at all ...
  22. Same box, different locations, Dunster 1975 and Minehead 1978 and 2012.
  23. Something a bit different, the before picture with no box, and the replica box. Bodmin 1978 & 2012
  24. Lightmoor Junction 1976, line to Horsehay was still in. By 1995 the Horsehay line had been removed.
