  1. Normanton and Pontefract railway modelers might be able to help, they had made a layout called Ramsfield that was based on Kirkgate in the 80`s / 90`s https://nprms.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/pg/Normanton-and-Pontefract-RMS-201805369942268/photos/?tab=album&album_id=533094750146660
  2. that took me the best part of an hour to get it, I`ll have one in my coffee
  3. I heard Queen from a similar location 500 yards or so away when they played in the Elland Road ground, I was more into playing on the park at the time though
  4. I don`t have a current livery cross country HST photo, how many power cars are in the livery ?
  5. I am still thinking about the road into the yard and the hard standing area, I am liking this look best ( nothing is stuck down yet though).
  6. 43077 getting close to Copley Hill going over the Dewsbury line before descending into Leeds
  7. I am not making a point or statement or want flames thrown in my direction but there seams to be a way on ebay to ask for a discount ...http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/128138-ebay-best-offer-why-do-sellers-use-it/
  8. It`s bad enough when the train derails on its own let alone the "hand of God" doing it too
  9. The only 68 that I have seen so far is 68031 which was behind a Deltic and blue grey aircon mk2s going to Liverpool pictured at Neville Hill west end junction / Marsh Lane cutting
  10. That is a different situation however... I asked one trader once for a small discount the reason I asked for the discount is that I had the cash in my pocket which was less than the ticket price, Frizinghall already discount the loco`s ( I don`t ask them to ), and online retailers such as Hattons, Rails etc have already discounted the models too Also I used to have a model shop years ago, and if asked i gave discounts, the reason I stopped trading is because I was driving up to a show, it was raining quite heavily I had got passed Carlilse on the way up to the show, My car started aquaplaning ( I was doing around 50 - 60mph because of the rain ), the next thing I know I was facing the motorway in a field with my son Dominick shouting at me to wake up as I was unconscious, as I was coming round there was a lot of Dapol wagons around me, We spent the night in a hospital so that was the end of model retailing for me. It was a long time ago Simon
