Sadly, this has gone up to £49.50 for this year making it very expensive if you can only visit once a year, especially for those on fixed incomes such as Senior Citizens.

As a longtime subscriber to BRM my concern is the comment above by the OP that “the number of pages devoted to the prototype railway will be similar”. Does this mean that the modelling content of BRM magazine will be reduced or will the number of pages be increased? There are many magazines relating to the prototype railway already, some of which I purchase so don’t need another. Certainly D & E locos are not my scene anyway.

The loco is showing as in stock on the Hornby website today (23rd December) if you are still interested. Brian

Strangely enough, as of this evening, the Deltic sound fitted version has become available to preorder on the Hornby website but the non sound version is now no longer available.

Sorry Andy, I could have phrased my posting more delicately!

Never mind Rod Stewart, I’d have Montana on my layout anytime! As well as Simon of course.

Wednesday, 1st February.

Class 9f locos were rostered for passenger services on the Somerset & Dorset line and one was used for the very last “Pines Express”.

Wonder what’s happened.

Andy York posted the details on the first page of this thread, 10am on January 10th.

Unfortunately the 1950 map shows the layout at Barking after the massive remodelling that took place around the mid-50’s prior to electrification of the LTSR route. Before that time there was a very complex junction at the Southend/Tilbury side of the station whereby trains from Forest Gate had to cross both the Underground lines and Southend lines to access the route to Tilbury. There was also a very large signal box at this position.

If you could find a 1950’s track layout before it was remodelled for O/H electrification, Barking LTSR station was a very interesting 4-way junction with the added bonus of the District Line underground route as well.

That’s my birthday!! Surely SK and Montana will deliver my birthday wish for some Gresley Quad-Art coaches!

Betty’s Husband, only Collectors Club members could order the model as you know and it is unavailable for anyone to order on Hornby’s website I’m afraid. I must have been one of the last to order it as only a few minutes after I placed my order the “Unavailable” notice appeared.

No, it’s sold out for Club Members.
