Wainwright D. Glens always looked good to me too.

T9 and D10.

Pollitt class 5, J62, but without the wire basket on the chimney! Alastair M

That looks excellent Stephen. Also, 100th page congrats from me too and totally agree with Northroader above. best, Alastair M

That is awful news. RIP Florian, a massive influence on modern music. Alastair M

I am just rebuilding a David Geen ex-GC dia. 17B van which I originally messed up ten years ago. Pleased to report it now runs like a dream too and it doesn't seem to need compensation. Lovely fine casting, very happy with the result, Regards, Alastair M

Given that the 0-6-0 was the backbone of freight and other operations on British railways for the best part of 100 years, this is a large topic to go at! The Caledonian, the NER, NBR, Midland, to name but a few, all operated some excellent looking and very useful 0-6-0 classes. The Dean goods must surely be up there and I also really like the rarely modeled Armstrong or standard goods, although they were mostly gone by the 1930s. Early GC types would also be on my list including 23s, and what became LNER J12. Cheers, Alastair M

I'm a big fan of the J10 too. Alastair M

FAB. Alastair M

'needs a Drewry up there!' ........ like a fish needs a bicycle you mean?

'Proper' railways don't paint coaches. They varnish them. Grabs coat and runs..... Regards, Alastair M

I am not aware of any other layout on RM where you might see a D9. It's great to see, even if it might be 'flawed'. More power to your elbow Mr Wright. Best wishes, Alastair M

I too like the high up views Gilbert, but somewhat counter intuitively I thought the shot of Enterprise alongside the DMU gave a lovely ground level sweep, the sort of thing a (lucky) casual observer might have seen in 1958. Best wishes, Alastair

Those last two shots look great Gilbert - the light seems just right. Regards, Alastair M

Magnificent! Alastair

Those louvres are such a huge improvement Darius. Great job. best, Alastair M

This might be a good solution then? (see what I did there..? Doooh) Best, Alastair

Phoenix do a plastic stripper, although I have never used it to remove a complete factory finish paint job? Happy Easter, Alastair M

Signage..... and the bloke in the leather jacket went and bought a platform ticket - 1d.
