Prestwick International Airport A Seaport is the next logical request Jim

Listen for the absolute howlers in Trainspotting 2! In the scenes shot around the "Port Sunshine" pub you see class 334s running past, (the actual pub is in Clydebank), only they have dubbed the sound of HSTs! Jim

I was thinking about this the other day, I think that the preserved lines will snap up pacers when they are finally decommissioned, like them or loath them they would be very useful to a preserved line as they are simple and easy to maintain, four of the original 141s are already in preservation at the Weardale Railway, Colne Valley Railway and Midland Railway Centre. Now who in their right mind would preserve a Voyager?? Jim

Even newer? I don't know the unit number but I identified one coach as 833001, leaving Doncaster for North Pole Depot on Friday last Edit to say from another photo I was able to get the unit number as 802001. Jim

Visit to Doncaster on Friday threw up a good variety GB Railfreight 66715 "Valour" Freightliner 66954 DRS 66429 EWS 66006 Jim

Was watching a news report about the state of the cellars under the Houses of Parliament, The presence of inflammable gasses and some very antiquated electrical systems down there makes for an explosive situation. Jim

Quite sure this one will scoop the awards at Model Rail Scotland when it is exhibited. Jim

A big one at Model Rail Scotland! Next - A big station! Jim

"The assailant was described as being in his mid 20s, about 5ft 10in tall, of medium build, with long brown hair, a beard and wearing long robes" He's not the Messiah - He's a Very Naughty Boy!! Jim

According to IMDB it is Fairfax Road level crossing, Bushy Park Road, Teddington. Jim

St Pancras also features (incorrectly) in the 1978 film "The Fourth Protocol". The KGB agent being pursued by Michael Caine is said to be traveling by rail from London to Colchester, yet he is shown catching the train at St Pancras instead of the correct Liverpool Street Station. Jim

The 2001 "Made for TV" version has to be the worst, it used the VSOE Pullman Cars hauled by an EWS class 47! Jim

Going to California - Led Zeppelin

The Railway Man with Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman used Bo'ness to film the UK railway scenes. Jim

One undeveloped feature of high speed rail is connectivity at the stations, especially for business travelers. I travel a lot on business, in the UK that usually means air, because I can drive to the airport, park up and walk to the terminal, board the plane and fly to my destination where my hire car will be waiting for me to drive to the company I am visiting, which may be around 50 miles from the airport. That connectivity is rarely available with rail, few if any stations have hire car facilities, car parking is limited and not very secure and it is still more expensive so my company will not sanction it.

Of course we all know how to find the illegitimate ones... You turn the bag upside down and the bar-stewards fall out

How many transfers do you need to apply to a TTA Jim

Dave - As I have pedantically pointed out on a few threads, since 1969 it has been a requirement for all forklifts to be fitted with an overhead guard, so your depot forklift is incorrect for the timescale of your layout. the H&S officer will be round shortly to deliver a prohibition notice Jim
