    In "Trains 68 Annual" published by Ian Allen there is an article "Running a Steam Shed". On Page 58, the Liverpool Streets Pilot's duties given in May 1958 as, N.7 to cover West Side Suburban service, and 68619's duties recorded as " to do the shunting, and run the odd trip through the tunnel to New Cross, and also some of the booked trips to the Southern Region. Re substituting for a failed locomotive, the article also recounts a run by 68619 with a picture on page 59, in May 1958, with the 5.29 to Chingford, due to non-availability of the West Side Pilot, so ran with the Quad-Arts on that occasion.

    We are in same position, 2 years after purchase and 5 years after extension added to create 4 bed house (and one sale 3 years ago), we opened a missive from up North telling us our home is now re-banded to Band F, and it is nearly the only Band F property in the village. An appeal looms.

    W.J.Gardner in " Cleaner to Controller" published by Oakwood Press mentions, (on Page 27), that in 1939 he witnessed S&T engineers at work on the goods loop points. He was told by them that as the Summer Timetable had just ended they were disconnecting the FPL equipment.. This was connected in the Summer months to allow passenger trains to use the goods loop which was worked Absolute Block. In the winter the loop was worked under Permissive Block. Re cost saving, as an addition he mentions that this disconnection made for fewer lever movements by the Signalman which meant the box did not have to be regraded upwards.

    In the 1980's my role involved working alongside the ROC, a longer serving colleague mentioned that when he started in late 60's there were still ROC members wearing the "Seaborne" shoulder flash having served on ships during the D-Day landings.

    At Swindon Club, (where I was a member , until relocating), , they use "old" weightlifting weights with a length of plastic conduit stuck into them and then tie "hazard tape" between them. Picture Storage is a few "heavy boxes" and some bundles of approx 1 metre poles. In ability to place small children on these against solid barriers was one reason given by the clubs exhibition manager for this approach. Stability may be helped by fact there is carpet is on the floor in hall at Steam.

    It is only a couple of button presses to see "completed listings", which is how I get a value for items I list. And it is interesting how many "best offers" seem to be taken for the higher priced items.

    The fact that only "42's" were used Waterloo - Exeter, is stated in "Hydraulic V Electric" by David N. Clough, although he does not state the reason.

    Additionally when the Cotswold redoubling occurred at Honybourne, passive accommodation for the GWSR was made with a platform & a new bridge with space for the GWSR to put a track through.

    Also reversal into the platform was required at Dorchester South for London Bound trains until 1970 Dorchester South - Wikipedia
