    Indeed. It was certainly in occasional use in the late eighties as i recall on services out of Padd.

    You are right, but i prefer to remember the place i started my railway career as it was, not as it is. I think i'll give this a miss.

    My thoughts exactly.......................................

    This ^^^^. Just fantastic!!

    Did you mention small bore plumbing If normal stock manufacturing is followed, build it then spend several years re-engineering it with a massive mod program...................... And anything involving water is always a nightmare on a train.

    Is it actually confirmed that the hotel power will be provided by the loco?.Id be surprised. I would have thought that some form of on board power would be built in somewhere. Means you are not dependant on having a loco attached all the time. Chiltern have done that with the DVT's.

    Sure does

    Thanks for the clarification. My memory isn't what it could be............................ Given that i was on this too i recall, im guessing we know each other??

    Ahhh, yes. Those were the days. Didn't the one to York have a little difficulty on the way back? Bogie fire on the the 47 as i recall. Got rescued by a 31 at newark. Very very slow journey back to kings cross. After midnight by the time we got back. Ones parents were most concerned where i had got to!

    Ahh, yes, i remeber that industrial estate with the station at the top of the drive. Our new buisness was based there for the first 2 years after i left the railway. Always rather fancied the station as a house. The station masters building at the other side of the entrance drive has been demolished now i believe

    Bit late to the party here, but you are just so right! In 86/87 when i was at apprentice school in swindon, mid week when the rest of them were trying to get served in the pub, once or twice a week i would scoot down to reading straight after work soley for this purpose. As you say, the stoppers were just the best. Count me in when you hire the stock to to it again :). Happy days!

    How do you guys remember the dates or even the year? I only recall one. Was 83/84/85, not sure which from Ealing Broadway to York on the weekend of the model railway exhibition. I remember it was 47622 Institution of mechanical Engineers, Vauguely seem to remember it was £4?

    Why not call what you are modelling what it is? Im modelling the late 80's. Modern it isn't. Almost everything i remember/want to re-create is gone.

    As much 1st gen DMU stuff as possible. In OO of course.

    Fantastic work. Love it.

    Im not sure the residents of Stony see it that way......................................
  17. roger440
    None of the Aylesbury based stuff got that far afield! Lots of odd places, but not over the border.
  18. roger440
    Exactly what i thought! May of course be infrastructure of course, maybe.

    Excellent vids. Love it Love the lights on the 37. The right colour! Not blue as you see so often, just a nice yellow colour. Just how it used to be.............

    I think only 3 were ever done in the early upswept livery.

    Congratulations to Dapol on this. Im pretty sure this will turn out to be well worth the effort for them. I will be having a clear out of converted lima units, thats for sure. Im guessing that 116 and 117 are the logical next step. I hope so. That will need another clear out!!!! Cant believe how many versions are already announced. Just fantastic.

    Its in one of the lists Jim. But yes, after i went to the trouble of shifting the exhausts off the front, it would be good to see a correct model unlike the Hornby one. And the gurads compartment windows!
