That track running down from right to left makes a fantastic downhill on an MTB.

They spent about half of their time propelled, plenty about that in this thread including my post #229 earlier today, and in the thread titled Inspection Sallon Working http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/88795-inspection-saloon-working/&do=findComment&comment=1541035

Sad day. Dave's work was a great spur to get going with a layout after some years of static modelling. His character shone through despite his illness, and his posts will be sorely missed.

Don't you believe it. On this tour by the time we finished (4pm) it was too dark for photos using an SLR with 400ASA film. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/57246-black-country-blues-rolling-stock-workbench/page-4&do=findComment&comment=748725

Which some did start their lives with, but as Spams in unlined malachite green.

Hardly surprising that only about 10% of his listings result in a sale. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-Only-REF-157-Presentation-Boxed-3-Aviation-Fuel-M-O-D-Tankers-/281402118713?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item4184df9239

The front is original Midland by the look of it. The roof is like LMS 1930s style, but the end seems strange. It isn't the usual LMS style, the planking is wrong. to me it looks more like NER planking.

The bang when 'Rocket Ron' blew the window out of the kitchen whilst brewing up.

Congratulations Simon. I am sure that you will make a success of it. Keep us posted on what goes on. There are several on here who went through a similar programme so I am sure you will get plenty of support.

One of my pair was always derailing at a particular spot. Checked the back to backs and all three axles were slightly different.

Rocking and rolling down hill from Woodhead through Torside and Vale House in the sunshine this afternoon. Just a pity I was on a bike and not an O4 or EM1.

The shed plate on the Jinty looks like from when Sutton Oak was 8G, certainly not when it was in the 10s, so that would put it later than March 1958 I think.

It looks like one of Pooley's weighing machine vans.

There's also a bridge and some embankment missing at High Hills Road between New Mills and Thornsett.

Waiting for a train at Darlington doesn't seem that bad when the previous leg of the journey entailed a half hour wait at Middlesboro.

It's not a really tall one.

Just a pity I'm over 200 miles away. Looks great and i would love to be able to see it for real. Last time I saw the ACE in the wild was the Ilfracombe portion departing towards Mortehoe in August 1962

The Waverley was probably again at Leeds.

Does the first with the right answer get the model as a prize?

An ex-WW1 0-6-0 with the name of a General painted on the splasher?

All of my trips were post-steam, our loco of choice was a 25 because you could take them almost anywhere, but Bescot seemed to think we would take anything they had to hand. I did Birmingham - Coventry - Gibbet Hill - Coundon Road with a 40, Walsall - Tamworth HL (via Coleshill - Hams Hall Power Station - Whitacre) - New Street with a 45 and Wolverhampton - Ironbridge - Donnington with a 47. At Donnington, then disused, the driver stopped and came back to us to say that he wouldn't go any further because he couldn't see if there were any rails in the undergrowth.
