    Oyster to Hertford East but not Hertford North - only our own D(a)fT could argue that one with a straight face and no sense of irony.

      My old local stns... in the days of 141s, then early 313s.... and 305s out of HE. Ah, memories!

    Rams cafe, Gravesend :-)

    Re-reading 'British Rail after Beeching' after ?? years. Contemporary (1966) history.

    1. Phil Copleston

      Phil Copleston

      It's probably just as contemporary now!

  7. DavidLong

    Reading 'Britain's New Railway' (1966). You can tell it is 1966 because Mr.Nock refers to problems and not challenges ;-)

      and presumably passengers and not customers?!

      Finally caught up with it almost 50 years after the event. Discovered that Nock took BRB's shilling to write it.

      How quaint. Does he offer any 'solutions'? Or maybe just a good dollop of common sense.

  9. DavidLong

    Recommend Brown & Green cafe at beautifully restored Crystal Palace station. And they play Simon & Garfunkel for old fogies like me:-)

    1. Phil Copleston

      Phil Copleston

      You are NOT an 'old fogie', m'lad!

    Redacted? Ah, you mean censored . . .

      Hey, cut that out!

      brianthesnail96

      Ahh, we've a chap at work that keeps using "redacted" in place of "someone messed up and I've no idea how, but we don't want to admit to it 'cos they'll get a ticking off". I thought that was inspired!

      Metr0Land

      It's norn iron, state schools all break up at end of June, handy for getting a couple of weeks hols in July before the prices get silly!

      Train creche - sounds like a posh person describing a disaster.

      Whaaaaa! Brio train set on the floor, Mr. Long? ;-)

    Seems that the Shapeways site didn't like my Explorer browser. Tried Chrome and no problem. Weird. Never had that happen before!

    1. Phil Copleston

      Phil Copleston

      I believe Shapeways will over-print objects with a metal coating too - errr, chrome or otherwise ;-)

    2. DavidLong

      Couldn't even describe this as the traditional 'soft morning' Pete. It's just nasty.

      Scorchio in Mancunia! Unfortunately it was cold, lowering and grey here in Cornubia. I weird reversal of the expected norm!

      David - I think I've got a couple of the older versions archived somewhere. PM me.

      martin_wynne

      David, almost everything from the earlier versions works just the same in Templot2. Please ask on Templot Club if you are stuck - http://85a.co.uk/forum/

    The Merthyr, Tredegar and Abergavenny has got to be one of my favourites. . .but will I ever model any of it?

    1. Phil Copleston

      Phil Copleston

      Of course you will - for your dream 'basement empire', complete with ubiquitous LNWR Coal Tank and G2 on that legendary SLS Special!

    The title of Elton John's 1971 album 'Madman Across The Water' seems curiously appropriate at present; whether you live over here or over there!

      Indeed. Some British politicians seem intent on following their own 'yellow brick road' too...
