    Cracking job, personally I would have preferred preferred tops numbers and headcodes but that's just my preference. Good to see its had a good restoration

    Didn't realise 47256 got repainted in single tone green . What was the idea behind that Strange to see a green loco with domino headcode

    Evening Kev Surprised you haven't got an album for the early Barrow hill galas
  4. russ p
    Absolutely, that new one they are producing won't be the same with the audi engine. Just won't be as angry

    Was that the same event which had the metro super challenge with the 6R4s? Probably the best sounding motorsport event ever all those V6s within a built up area Anyway getting back on track, did any green loco of any class get the domino stickers in the headcode boxes?

    The signals in the yard were strange the bracket signal corresponded with the discs on one and two reception . An arm on the bracket took you out on to the main and disc onto the reception. Also unusual was number 2 was nearest the mainline I've used lowestoft as a bit of an influence on my layout where there are houses with railway on both sides of them and the footbridge over sidings and running lines

    Lowestoft was a busy railway location until comparatively recently. Its train crew depot stayed open until mid 90s

    It was done a few years back when the route was gauge cleared for 9ft6in containers

    These are the tanks I was thinking about
  17. russ p
    Hi Paul I'm not sure they are the tanks I remember. They may have had TRL logos on them. The job ran a few times a week to and from Sandbach
  18. russ p
    I seem to remember there were 3 bogie tanks with a shiny finish in early drs days hauled by a pair of 20s or a single 37

    They must be the last ones in use Richard. I wonder if they will fit couplers from modern units or if they will be scrapped
  20. russ p
    Sorry Richard, of course it is. For some reason quickly glanced at it and thought 80s Colchester

    The other thing that short journey tickets allow is people to take kids for a shorter ride that would otherwise get bored on a nearly 3h round trip with hardly any phone signal When I was a kid in the 70s we very rarely did a full return round trip it was either Grosmont Goathland and back or through to pickering with my dad and my mum would drive the car there

    I think there are still some of those in use at Ilford
  23. russ p
    Surprised nothing on YouTube about them, mind there are ironstone mines they don't tell you the location but they look more modern than the eskdale mines
  24. russ p
    Can you get in any of them or are they too high up on cliff side
  25. russ p
    I knew they were shallow but didn't realise that shallow
