Living memory?? - I can remember when we were there during the long lean years when Ingerland failed to qualify - 1974 (West Germany) and 1978 (Argentina although we would like not to have a memory of that one ), then again in 1982, 86, 90 and 98!

On closer inspection that looks like the roof of a peak in the second photo, just behind the removal van!

Agree - it may have been Richard Marsh that eventually killed the Waverley Route, but it was Barbera Castle that provided the poison. Jim

Yep - the BBC is back to being the EBC for the duration, and they wonder why Scots want England to lose....

The black and white photographs are wonderful, very much in the same vein as the work of Colin Gifford, albeit in a more modern era. Jim

100% true story - and just to show that lack of knowledge is not a new phenomenon, an invoice that came into the Glasgow Accounts office back in good old BR days for fishplates was sent to the catering department for approval! Jim

Are the symbols between the letters some code for "thanks sucker"

Newton, site of the infamous head on crash after the track rationalization - seen here before they did the deed Jim

Is there a B! named after it?

Leap Up And Down (Wave Your Knickers In The Air) - St. Cecilia:-)

To make the Scandinavian connection complete you could add Swedish 4-6-0 Class B number 1313 which was one of the original locos used on the Bo'ness and Kinneil railway. I believe that it is at the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway. Jim

Video Killed the Radio Star - Buggles

Plan for the Inglenook now finalized, the top two sidings under the travelling crane will be the 3 wagon sidings, the next one down will be the five wagon siding, thus creating the traditional Inglenook, I have added the crossover to add some operating interest should this ever become a standalone, the bottom siding could potentially become a run down truncated single track DMU terminus, or simply a lye by for the trip freight loco which could bring a fresh set of wagons form an off scene area.

I thin that there may be a story yet to be told in this group, if Iceland draw or beat Nigeria today, then Argentina need to beat Nigeria by at least four clear goals and hope that Croatia and Iceland don't "agree" to play for a draw in the last game. If Nigeria win then there are still hope for Argentina as I cannot see Croatia losing to Iceland. Jim

With Bills history are you sure he is not beating about the bushes????

Doh! - had the photo set at private, now corrected, hence the reason you couldn't view, however you are correct with the loco and number so you are familiar with it. You are right about the rural feel, there is a photo of Peacock Cross station probably taken from the bridge in the background of that photo on the Canmore database and it looks as though it is in the middle of the country. https://canmore.org.uk/site/203178/hamilton-wellhall-road-peacock-cross-station Jim

Thanks Jim - The photo you refer to would be this one Jim, https://www.flickr.com/photos/gateside_and_northbridge/28036090967/ Cheers Jim
