    • One of the Sentinels ended its days on the SLNC. A bogie was used as a luggage trailer for Railbus A! 
    • There's a fairly decent dimensioned diagram of the GSR railcars in the IRRS archive, which I have a scan of.  They were numbers 354, 355, 356, 357, all built in 1927. 355 and 356 seem to have survived to at least 1942, but had been withdrawn by 1950. The other two went earlier. They were similar to the contemporary Diagram 88 LNER vehicles, but I think the Heljan model represents a slightly later variant - Diagram 96/97.
    • With communications as they were at the time, the local management wouldn’t be able to feed any timesheets through in advance, presumably they were paid with a week or two in hand, with old time sheets picked up for the next trip. A clerk would have to then calculate payment and put the right money in the pay packet. Back then hardly any paper notes, more coins? We were out on a newly overhauled engine running light, and were stopped by adverse signals out in the country. A pay clerk with a small wood case joined us, and hitched a ride to the next signal box. He was doing a weekly trip stage by stage along the length of the line. The pay train is shaping into a lovely model, David.
    • I just noticed this over on RMweb: Frying Tonight: LNER ‘Chip Vans’ Sentinel Cammell Railcars Join The Heljan 00 Range - Heljan - RMweb I wonder if we might see a GSR version? They had 4 similar Sentinel railcars, though they weren't identical.
    • Is the NEM pocket at the correct height? Also sometimes the Kadees droop a little in the pocket and that can be helped by inserting a small shim under the coupler.
