Is this a rusty piece of steel or plastic sheet painted ?

Where's a yellow version!

Hi Wayne, Had similar event in that my son dropped 60090 and 60005 ! 60090 came off the worst , one broken buffer , front bogie came out the housing, pickup wires detatched , took us about two hours to put back together. Moral of the story DON'T drop them , happy new year

Interesting pic of 47446 , behind the tanker is a BSSC PTA iron ore tippler flanked by two RFQ rotary match wagons possibly returning from Doncaster works after repair

Class 27036 at tinsley 1985 IIRC en route from Swindon works to millerhill (via westbury open day) Copyright Barrie Jones

As I posted elsewhere , don't know why this bottom edge is been done like this when it should be straight Will this be corrected ? As there a many drawings that have been available over the years in Railway Modeller etc .. how has the model ended up like this?

thank you for posting the above pictures , all good inspiration for when i come to build the Great Coates layout,. Seeing the Total TTA tank wagon reminds me that i read somewhere that the class 08 tripped these to Cleethorpes from West Marsh sidings, also HEA coal wagons to Grimsby coal depot regards Baz

31.563 and 31.531 towing 47.327 not 100% sure what the load is though Looks like the petroleum coke empties from Holyhead PAB wagons BRT 12100 - 116 https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.penmorfa.com/Archive/three.htm&ved=0ahUKEwi_sYW6w73QAhWrL8AKHftvDbYQFggaMAA&usg=AFQjCNGMT11lU1VzG6yQsNSr7bc-9d9gwA&sig2=T8vimVUOExo0uDsnKdMRyg

great pictures you've posted lately, will get loads of inspiration for when I do Great Coates junction, thank you for posting them Regards baz

This pic showing SUW at tinsley https://www.flickr.com/photos/49068127@N06/5266534297/in/pool-tinsleyyard/

the photo of class 37004 looks like it has the BDW coil wagons with wooden cradles in tow , only saw a couple of these when they worked to Panteg steelworks from Grimsby . Maybe another wagon for me to do ! http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/brbolsterd484/h2785df19 http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/brbolsterd484/h330912a2

Wonderful pictures

Thanks for posting some fantastic pictures of the Grimsby area , all will be inspirational for my Great Coates layout when I get time, any more pics / information would be appreciated Regards baz

These were the last of the SUW coil wagons , they were stored at Margam in the late 80's , then migrated north to work out of I think Parkgate and Rawmarsh with wire in coil form , saw a quite large rake of these through Newport heading north to Sheffield again in the late 80's

Be interested to see pics of the stainless steel trains, as at some point I hope to build Great Coates junction, got the boards , track etc just got to get time to do it ! Baz

Not the best video of the tippler , only footage I have https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JwMrntntb18

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shunter-Duties-Paperback-Book-/141936217745?hash=item210c0ece91:g:MgAAAOSwYIxX7BAt At least it's free postage!

Right , where do I start ! Hope you can follow this. Each wagon is fitted with a three link coupling on the right hand side only , the link at the end is steel not brass, the left hand side is fitted with a small magnet , so each wagon will couple up ,there is a slope either side of the tippler, and a magnet on the tippler between the rails , when wagons are pushed on the tippler magnet uncouples them allowing the unloaded wagon to roll onto the traverser, this process is the same for coupling the wagons coming of the traverser!I'll post some pics soon, to make things clearer

Woodhead transfers, which I think were press fix, 1 sheet had loads of different tops codes , symbols and numbers.
