It's not just old maps that can be wrong , Modern ones can also suffer. When someone makes a mistake on an adjustment. My point, In our borough there is an old road, It has to be a right of way. But it is not, instead it is shown on borough maps as private? Reason someone cocked up. At some point. The road was fine up until it was crossed on the level by a railway. Still fine a crossing was installed and a keepers house to staff it was put in. And a lane was altered to run along side the railway line and come out next to the keepers cottage rather than have a second crossing Later it was decided that the traffic on the road was too heavy and a flyover was installed. the crossing was closed and the lane that had been altered to run along side the line was diverted again to come out at the bottom of the slope for the flyover. Now somehow the 2 sections of old road that ran to the old crossing gates are no longer under public highways and listed as private, and the lane that has been diverted 2 times (And only serves the back entrance of a farm which even the farmer does not use and has padlocked and chained his gates to stop fly tipping) is shown as public under the highways map. Great when someone from highways does not know how to read a map and when marking up the new one put the labels on the wrong roads. So now the old road with Houses, Farm and the Old Keepers Cottage is not cared for by highways any longer and is so overgrown to the point that it is now almost covering the old centre line markings (Even though we have to go down it with a bin lorry) but the unused farmers lane is. Re Surfaced, Gritted, Swept, Litter Picked, Cleaned of Fly Tipping etc .

More auction site finds Bachmann for Murphy's Models boxed 00 Gauge CIE Irish Railways Class 141 Diesel Locomotives (2), Bachmann boxed 00 Gauge Special Edition 32-150 CIE Irish Railways black N Class No 383 and two u UK buyers may be put off bidding as Import duty is also to be paid, so presumably come from an Irish estate. But even then £120-£140 plus buyers premiums is not that bad for a couple of 141's

It was at Derby but not at the event. Instead it was parked next to the Nottingham lines across from Etches Park at the Derby RTC/Loram UK In fact they also had the Overhad Line Inspection (which I usually see sat at Retford) and Track Recording Sets in there as well. A bit of a Yellow overload. Loram were represented at the show with a brand new Railgrinder.

Hope you dry out soon, It's p*****g down again here, And I'm only 20 mile away.

True but not everybody that models Irish prototypes lives in Ireland. (South or even North)

Found another IOM one Can't say I know the type of container though. Anyone identify it?

Bump again as included hammer prices Some of the wagons were cheap.

A bit more then. Track has been extended since this video and more points (ex BnM) just arrived.

Crowle Peatland Railway (Doing OK, is 3 foot) already has a BordNaMona loco and to say its out of the way (It makes Giants Causeway look Suburban) is an understatement. Unlike Southwold this group already has 5 running locos. (Simplex, 3x Schoma Master and Slave units, Wickham ) is in contact and loan arrangements with Statfold Barn, and IOM and has a Lisbon Tram to use as a coach. One of the recent acquisitions is Bord Na Mona Hunslet Wagonmaster LM336 And is my day out this coming Sunday (Directions Via Google maps 59mins)

Bump because of edit.

One hopes he was in the Operators seat and not the Drivers seat at the time.

I had not seen that previous post. Nothings new though.

Right then you have your new shiny Cement Bubbles and want to weather them, (But baulk at the thought of damaging them after how much they cost) Well a simple (Non permanent) and cheap way presents itself.......................... Tooth paste (Slurry) mixed with Chalk (Or Talcum) Powder. It will set hard, But still wash off if you want too.

Seller also has some Murphy coaches.
