    Another one billed as a poor runner at low speed bought for a reasonable price. The layer of dried-on gunge/lubricant mixture on the commutator and gears wasn't helping matters. Five minutes with stiff brush, cleaner and cotton buds, new lubricant followed by a short running in session and now it runs beautifully.

    Re "Rugby Jubilee up ex pass c1951 JVol5072" I think that's a Down train.

    A bit off track with his railway geography? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121103364790&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:3160

    Superb shots Michael. That site has an amazing collection of stuff from the 1950s to the 1980s, thankfully now archived with the Manchester Locomotive Society.

    Some B****** hacked my email account. Hours of security checks and changes today. Ugh.

    The days I remember in the 1960s were generally pretty good. The ones I don't remember were probably even better.

      That's the thing about the '60s. If you can remember what happened, then you weren't really there....!

    Better scenery than Bordesley, Jim

    Nice shot of a somersault signal at approx. 2'15"

    Thats the one, some very interesting shots of all regions in there, pity they're not dated.

    I think one appeared in Casserley & Asher's book listing the locos which came into BR. I noticed it yesterday after starting to read this thread. It was definitely lined, but may have been early emblem.

    Looks like they just cleaned enough to paint British Railways on it. There's probably the M of LMS still there under the crud in the middle

    The Cartmel sale to listing ratio seems to be about 17% for railway stuff.

    Yet another from the Cartmel Code 3 stable http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-RAILWAYS-No-R452-exLMS-BR-Class3F-0-6-0T-JINTY-TANK-LOCO-CODE-3-/300875502992?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item460d93d590 Unfortunately the "realistic" repaint and early emblem didn't quite cover the late crest originally on the side of this "preversed" loco.

    Anyone know if the red box ones ever had metal couplings? Perhaps he should buy this one and swap them over, much later model in earlier box. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-Dublo-D20-32097-BR-Restaurant-Car-SUPERB-BOXED-LOVELY-EXAMPLE-/181085156737?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item2a29843581
