  3. Well being Hawes, it is a local shop for local people - "Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting? We'll have no trouble here!"
  4. Now I know the true meaning of blowing a gasket.
  5. Here is a couple from 21st August 1993' A group of friends and I went on a SRPS railtour from Falkirk to Keighley. With the plan being to run the train straight onto the branch and have KWVR locos to take the railtour set up and down the branch The only disappointment of the tour was that the rostered locomotives for haulage of the railtour stock over the KWVR were “Jinty” 0-6-0T No. 47279 and Br Std 2-6-0 No.78022, but the mogul had failed that morning and there was no available steam replacement. The train was therefore hauled up the valley with the interesting combination of 47279 leading ex BR class 25 diesel No D5209 and returned with 47279 working alone. All was not lost as the KWVR kindly allowed any railtour ticket holders a trip on a regular service hauled by Black 5 no. 5305. Just after arrival at Keighley, the railtour loco 47715 uncouples and heads for a siding to await the return After the run up the branch 47279 rubs round to take the train back to Keighley, leaving D5209 to move into the sidings.

  6. Not unless you are one of those posh folk who pronounce it Mill-Guy and think sex is what you take the rubbish out to the midding. You could always tell folk from the village that I used to stay in, they pronounced it Eagles-ham, the outsiders called it Eagle-sham. Jim

  11. I have a couple of discs supplied by the local car dealers, they clip onto the key ring for the car key, never without a means of releasing a trolley. Jim

  14. Lovely photos of the Midland Railway Centre. I took a holiday about 25 years ago touring round the preserved railways, starting with the Severn Valley, the Great Central the Midland Railway Centre, the East Lancs and finishing up at Crewe Heritage Centre. Of them all the Midland Railway Centre was the most friendly, most accessible and generally most enjoyable of them all. Jim
  15. One prominent detail missing from the Hornby Sleepers was the trunking at one end of each coach. The Bachmann model has it in place. I did an upgrade several years ago and it is easily fabricated from strips of plasticard Jim
  16. For many years the whole of Glasgow Works was accessed via a single kickback! Looking back further, Dawsholm Shed was laid out in a very traditional kickback layout. Fort WIlliam had a "semi-kickback" with some goods sidings only accessible by approaching the passenger station and reversing back, some loops were accessible from both directions Jim
  17. So that is why Dai used to get so many visitors!
  18. Looks to be a distant cousin of the genus "classicasixtysevenus"
  19. Dance With The Devil - Cozy Powell
  20. Nope - not specific enough, for a proper GDP system you have to specify how the month is described, e.g 07 or Jul or July and stick to it, no deviations, and if the year is to be just 20 or 2020. For this year many companies that were open about the year have become more specific, as it was pointed out that just 20 could be adulterated in the future to 2021 etc so 2020 has to be written in full. Jim
  21. Now if Bose could invent a smell cancelling toilet......
  22. Also the solebar! Worth also noting that this appears to be a newly outshopped blue and grey coach with a NE prefix in 1967, surely must have been one of the last applied as NE ceased to be used at the end of 1966 Jim
