    Quick update rgarding 56113 and it's train, 6M54 yesterday. Declared failed at Gresford 2319, assisted clear of the single line 0635 the following morning. Can't understand it, surely there must have been a spare pannier tank or something on shed at Croes Newydd.....

    Random Factoid 2. The double radiators in Chester PSB have ribs along the top set at 32mm gauge. Perfect for standing a freshly sprayed wagon on.

    RIP Banbury North and South signalboxes. Another 2 beautiful real boxes cruelly disposed of. Best wishes to the staff who worked there. South box already demolished, North box closed but hanging on until October. :(

      Agreed about his age. 52 is WAY too young to die. Also, regardless of his politics, he was a family man. Sincere condolences to his partner, family & friends

    RIP Huyton Signalbox..another one gone tonight.

  22. Jon Fitness

    RIP my beloved Parkray back boiler. Withdrawn yesterday with a cracked and leaking boiler it has steamed for the last time. Now, whether to replace it like for like or find something completely different to replace it. Chuffin expensive whatever I choose especially as there's no mains gas nearby.
