No hard feelings (from a while ago)... but in fairness, I don't think you could run a train company either. Belive me, I know, my friend GNERman runs one.

Has anyone seen the new Garaham Farish 2009 catalogue? They are making a model of 60059 Swinden Dalesman, which is a bit of a shock, but a good one at that!

Don't be so self-depressing! It's only a model railway...

A Hornby 'City Freight' set which was a Deltic in BR Green pulling about four mixed goods wagons. Number One - they pulled mainly passenger services, Number Two - if they pulled freight, it was in massive long rakes.

Without buffers? Wierd... all the GC HSTs have 'em, don't they?

In the February issue of Railway Modeller Magazine, Ron Kington's Littleton Parkway had a large green roadsign on it like the kind you find telling you which turnoff to take from a roundabout or how many miles it is to certain places. It was too correct-looking for a photograph, so I assume that...

Cheeky b******d.

You fool! 66s are the way forward! They are great strong-pulling locos that are easily adaptable... what are you on?

Fave train? Has to be the class 66 (boo I hear you cry) or the 37, perhaps 04. I know the 66 has replaced so many but just look at it... it's a heavenly locomotive. I'm also a fan of the class 14 "teddy bear".

142s (Pacers) have the absolutely ridiculous nickname of 'nodding donkeys' - can anyone tell me why?

In matter of fact, what's wrong with electric locos being replaced? Surely DEMUs eg Voyager and EMUs eg Pendolino are better for both transport and the environment? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Surely some of the electric locos were failures in their time and didn't do very...

91s for me because they hauled the LEGENDARY GNER trains through York station!

04 for me because it is one of the regular workers on my local line, embsay bolton abbey steam preservation railway. I also favour the 14 due to its look and shape.
