  1. Have they all been sold now? Will there be another batch, if so when?
  2. Thanks for the reply. I do remember seeing class 22s at Axminster, and Abingdon in 1967. A friend claims he saw one at Banbury and even Leamington.
  3. This is probably an old request, but has the plan to build a 'new' class 22 collapsed? An internet search seems conclusive, but thats the way it looks, unless someone (with ££) has come forward? The old project seemed to be linked to the old LLC which is now gone of course
  4. Very nice so far, hope you develop it a little more after the show
  5. Yes the westerns look nice...but is the maroon 52 colour a shade or 2 too dark?
  6. Many thanks for that , good choice of paint scheme, Paul
  7. hi Chris what make is the blue and white PW office /hut in the yard on PMB? Paul
  8. A very nice addition to the Accurascale nascent O gauge range would be a class 22 Diesel loco , as it is short and suitable for micro layouts ( and roundy roundies) and complements a lot of the existing hydraulic fleet available on O scale ...classes 14,35, 42,52. They worked across the south midlands and Thames valley, and of course the Bristol area and the wonderful Forest of Dean, and not just Devon and Cornwall. Come on chaps, you know it makes (commercial) sense!
  9. Well Rob, a belated thanks for your lovely FS shunter images. If your thoughts are turning towards East Anglian backwaters, particularly the early diesel years, and especially with the Accy 31 imminent, then a browse through the tome 'First Generation diesels in East Anglia' by Alan C Butcher may provide impetus for your future layouts,usual disclaimer. All the small and medium classes 03/04/05/15/24/30/31 are seen often with short trains, as by the 1960s road competition was eating into rail traffic at an alarming rate. The only omission is the class 21, which was only there for a couple of years, cheers Paul
  10. Interesting to see how tidy the stations and the track are in pre-Network Rail days in this film. The line was only a marginal loss maker too... many other routes lost far more and stayed open, possibly as the MP's in those areas were in marginal constituencies?
  11. Cant wait to see your Italian job, will it feature exploding doors and subterranean minis? Roco and ACME do some impossibly cute FS shunters...care to show/
  12. The consequences of Mrs T policies are now clearly coming home to roost when we see the state of social housing rivers energy transport. Only one that worked? Good old , BT as it was kept as a protected private monopoly.
