  2. Good shout, could even be this one http://www.srpsmuseum.org.uk/10025.htm Thanks Jim
  3. This photograph of Mallaig came up on Facebook, Couple of K1s - pretty normal for thta era, but the coach on the left is interestng, I wasn't aware that push-pull autotrailers ever worked the west highland apart from the Craigendoran to Arrocher shuttle and never as far as Mallaig. Jim
  4. With the capability of turning water to wine and approximately 352 quintillion (352,000,000,000,000,000,000) gallons of water in Earths Oceans, think that is enough for God to have a bit of a snifter! Jim
  5. The Girl In The Yellow Dress - David Gilmour
  6. Going all Tolkien on us One loco to pull them all, one loco to heat them, One loco to bank them all, and in the darkness shunt them; In the Land of Mossend where the shadows lie
  7. These were probably pretty important to the regular traveller in pre internet days, however there are many four star hotels that will score less than four stars on Tripadvisor, Hotels,.com and the other booking sites. Sometimes for good reason sometimes not. All subjective I suppose Jim
  8. Just subscribed to Britbox and watched this film last night, only thing I found odd about this sequence was that the tannoy announcer described the train as going to Nottingham but leaving from platform 13! Only in Sir Edward Watkin's wildest dreams did Marylebone ever have 13 platforms! Jim
  9. ...or I saw a ship in sight ...or the original and best, I'm not a pheasant plucker etc
  10. "A Tale of Two Cities" was first serialised in two local newspapers. ..........It was The Bicester Times, It was The Worcester Times.
  11. A photo of one of the later ones appeared on RMweb a few years ago Saw both cars just before they were scrapped at Connells in Coatbridge, although to be pedantic these were motor luggage vans, not parcels vans, although their use for the odd sundries traffic could not be ruled out Jim
  12. Brings back memoroes of "Clochemerle" Jim
  13. I saw a layout on YouTube recently that had the identical train in different scales that started (i think) in 0 at the front, disappeared into a tunnel then "reappeared" further back in the layout in a smaller scale, then this process was repeated to the back of the layout JIm
  14. Come on - surely someone will already be working on a DCC chip that can alter the expressions, just replace the plastic moulded ones with a round LED display that can show the faces. Jim
  15. Thanks guys - got it now, you would never know it had been there looking at Google Maps JIm
  16. Struggling to place that photograph on a map to see where the gated siding went, any ideas? Jim
  17. The 303s were built by Pressed Steel in Linwood around 1960 so were in Caledonian Blue, the 311s were built by Cravens in 1967, so were in rail blue from new
  18. Thought it might have been a version of the snow clearance machine tried in 1947, video here...
  19. Amazing to think that when this originallly was announced I had an operational layout, since then I have dismantled that layout and moved house twice! Jim
