      I've heard of similar containers being used for construction waste in earlier days, from Chatham Docks, for example. Where did you see these?

      Does this not depend on the Ffestiniog and the WHR (1964) Co. seeing eye-to-eye first? I thought hell would freeze over before that happens!

    2. sir douglas

      sir douglas

      well WHHR "gelert" was on F&WHR metals recently

  13. sir douglas

    what is the "reputation" thing all about anyway

    1. halfwit

      halfwit

      Little green '+' button bottom right of each post. When pressed increases posters rep. by one. Used to say 'thank you', 'thats usefull', 'thats good', 'I agree', 'thats funny' etc. Added as a way of thanking someone without clogging up a thread with 'me too' posts.

    2. sir douglas

      sir douglas

      does that also increase the "reputation" bar in my profile page?

  14. sir douglas

    got a nice video of the west coast railway's "compass tour" at goosehill with two 47's top & tailing, it sounded brilliant

  15. sir douglas

    finished the R&ER book but still no idea what a "chancery" is, and now i'm reading a book about the wagonways of chat moss

    1. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      Google or Wikipedia should be able to help with the definition of 'Chancery' - could this be the legal subject - 'Court of Chancery' by any chance? However, not much connection with Chat Moss, apart from the fact that both begin with 'ch'...!! ;-)

    2. sir douglas

      sir douglas

      the "chancery" is in the R&ER book not the chatmoss book

  16. sir douglas

      Well worth a visit, go by rail and sample The Ratty Arms Pub on the main line station, real ale and good food. If you travel back towards Barrow and get off at Foxfield The Prince of Wales is across the road, its a brew pub, and the food is super.

    2. ozzyo

      ozzyo

      PS; there's a good pub at Dalgarth as well about a 1/4 mile walk.

    just had thenovel idea of using a model shipping container as an loco shed

    1. Sam Moss

      Sam Moss

      we use shipping containers with rails inside for storing 2ft gauge loco's. Then just a ramp to get them out. Quick and handy
