    Hmmm, that drawing..... any luck?

    Thanks, John Excellent documentary, Patrick. Thanks for posting that.

    They are fitted with Train Line lighting and, although vacuum braked, have an air pipe to run with what?
  5. DiveController
    Great Pictures, Richie. Please post if you have more.
  6. DiveController
    That's a keeper!

    I'd agree with Noel and would bring it to the front of the layout but starting just to the right go the LC and joining just to the right of the branch line with a curved point. Double track LCs on the branch lines (main line in your layout) seemed less common than doubles. The SC, Fuel, Oil depot would move slightly forward. Incidentally, your storage loops could be much longer if they started off the right hand back curve rather than confined to the 'back straight'

    It's not perfect. Mine needs a touch up and the weathering is not on guru level but I like it and it easily passes the 2 foot rule

    Trans-Siberian Egress as you leave Courtmac. Looking forward to it, Andy

    If you're producing all three I'll take at least one of each, probably more. Will edit post when home tonight. Any chance of the buffer/kitchen coach? Are full width/length coaches still on the schedule when time allows?

    Chuckled when I saw the sign, Code for ..., indeed:ROFL:

    Is this the one? http://home.btconnect.com/Enhance-Ecosse/ccastle.html

    Cripes! 6 stone of Millenium Falcon suspended using only the force. And she's already at light speed!

    True, maybe John Haskins who wanted the steam train operator fined for delaying him will take up the issue of ICR stock with IE.... (hand still to ear, no sound) ..... maybe the Twit-er server is down

    I thought it looked like a 4w sorting van conversion. great photos, Richie, very informative. Knew very little about these before this thread Yes, agree with jb, nice layout! Yes, 4w sorting van/TPO 2971 would be correct
  17. DiveController
    Yes, flange, very much so. I knew there was a shot of a 1429- somewhere floating about. Thanks for that. I'd be really interested to see a photo of one of the other composites or 13xx standards if they exist
  18. DiveController
    Excellent, GSV. Just what I wanted to know. Superb information and thank you!
  19. DiveController
    Looks well, Gerry. I suppose some of the steam age stuff persisted for a long time afterwards some may not everything would need to be changed out to be prototypical
  20. DiveController
    Was brown/bauxite the standard in the 1970s or for fitted vans only when the were retrofitted with brakes?
  21. DiveController
    If anyone has any photos to post or refer to, would you please post? I think we've come full circle since post #1:)

    Wasn't disagreeing with that, just saying some of us might not model our trains with sufficient variety at times. THese old clips are great for demonstrating what ran together in those times. Love that video. That train also has a 4w heating van with space for 3T of luggage AND two luggage vans!
  23. DiveController
    I'm glad you confirmed that as I could not see the fairly distinctive features of the Park Royals (granted, it's not a great photo). Would most of the composites and standards turned out in that post-1955 era at Inchicore have been turned out in silver. Mostly I have seen these in photos in green That makes perfect sense now given the typo in the book
  24. DiveController
    Indeed, it seems so outlandish that one would probably not run that as a model
  25. DiveController
    John, sorry I missed your post above. Thanks for that.
