True!

Exactly John - everything is about how to get the shot, as much as what's in it. Just got to keep an eye out

Yes unfortunately - look at teenagers. Some drink to excess yet I (19) don't touch any of it, or drugs, or smoking. That means we are all not trusted, especially in groups. It only takes a few. (Nothing against you Heirflick, as I haven't seen the video!) EDIT Prehaps the last few posts could be deleted, since the original post has been deleted?

And due to the wonders of standard bodyshells, there's a 150mm hump in the middle of all the non-driving vehicles (even the pure-electric ones) to house the engine raft!

Yes I probably was, but by the gate

Just an optical ollusion due to the zoom. Well known effect. Regards stored 201's - they have non-standard bearings and various other fittings that make them more expensive than even the 071's (spares pool from 30-40 years of use, plus the Baby GM's)

Noel - the wagons can hold either 2x 20ft, 1x 30ft, 1x 40ft or 1x 45ft. The tanktainers are generally 30-35ft long, meaning only one per wagon.

I think it'll look good as a complete set, as long as the Enterprise DBFO gets the same pattern at the end

So it's not Broombridge?

Correct - it's just that is has to haul wagons, not push them

A quick photo of it pasing Kildare yesterday - more to follow
