Hi. Yes the Bachmann SWT 159 is very rare indeed. I have two of them and want more. Yet they now sell for £150-180 on eBay. What i think is a little steep. But good luck! They appear about once a fortnight on there. The Bachmann 170 on the other hand are pretty common on eBay. Reaching about...

First Group own a relatively small fleet of Class 43 units. Taken from therailwaycentre official publication about the MTU engine refurbs from a few years ago i count 13 Class 43 out of a fleet of 117 Class 43s for FGW: 43092 43093 43094 43097 43098 43122 43153 43154 43155 43156 43158...

Here here! You have said exactly what i would of wanted to say in reply to this attidude, well its on time, so why complain if it didnt run at speed! I also read the idea that, oh no you cannot run at linespeed as you will only catch up with a stopper, which also has a padded timetable. It is...

10 MPH is a massive difference i feel. The Voyager bombs it along between Basingstoke and Bournemouth compared to a 444. Awww see now i cant stop thinking, the Wessexes were epic trains, an electric HST!! Certainly noticed a 10 MPH difference in them too. Sorry back to reality, Wessexes...

Its not just FGW HSTs! I have now several times GPS clocked and looked at an actual speedometer on a Class 444 Waterloo-Weymouth. Just south of Basingstoke there is a speed limit sign clearly showing 100 MPH yet i have never "recorded" a 444 going anything over 95! Usually closer to 90. When...

I would like to make a few points. Firstly, who has been to Japan here? I have travelled around the country for 10 plus days on there superb rail network. Not only the Bullet trains (N700 Series AMAZING!) yet also regional intercity services (Including DMUs). When i heard Hitachi had won the...

With the official launch of the Southampton - WCML HiCube freight guage expansion project, I counted a total of 29 KTAs and 9 FLAs disused in sidings north of Southampton Maritime. (http://www.rail.co/2011/04/04/completed-rail-freight-upgrade-is-a-boost-for-britain/) Thus i ask, what is...

Do one better than reporting him to Ebay. They are useless in dealing with rogue ebayers! If someone who is clearly selling detornators then report them in confidence to the Anti-Terrorist Hotline on 0800 789 321!!!

003 was at the Milbrook sidings at 1355 ish and 1720 ish on my afternoon return to Salisbury. She was looking all shiney and clean!

If its not 001 as shes named "Powerhaul" and 003 is part of the Heavy Haul pool, does this mean a third 70 shall be making it to Southampton for Mondays event? I will be heading to Salisbury tomorrow and will enjoy my glance of maritime as i pass by. What abouts time does 4M61 run?

Thanks for the information! I saw 70003 today at Southampton Central. What a beast! There is something rather appealing about the Class 70 within its ugly and brutal exterior. I am a fan for sure and look forward to more arriving upon our shores.

Thank you all for your responces. That youtube link sounds so good! I certainly shall be making sure i am in pole position to see 70003 tomorrow or wednesday! (Only now how to cancel lunch plans without non train fans not feeling stood up over a train! lol). If 70003 shall be in regular...

I would like to bring to the forums attention that currently on Ebay are two pairs of Hornby Wrexham and Shropsire Mk3 coaches in the recent silver livery that i am selling from my own collection. These are to a professional standard. If these sell for a good price, i could be tempted to sell...

West Coast: Well I think Virgin will be quite safe here. I do believe though the French will give Virgin some stiff competition. I have travelled on the TGVs in France a few times, exceptional service (Yet i did not understand a word! lol). I do remember Virgin suggesting a few months back that...

Evening. I took a short trip to Salisbury today from Southampton Central on FGW Class 158 and it got me thinking about the November 2010 announcement by the Gov. regarding the additional 650 carriages by 2014 (Not related to IEP/SET, NXEMU and Crossrail). What I was thinking, I wonder shall...

I read in Rail today that the only electric IEPs on the East Coast shall be for Cambridge fasts and extentions to Kings Lynn. Though i think this is excellent, purely for selfish reasons as by time the SETs are in service i shall be living in Cambridge. Isnt it a waste of the Class 365s, the...

Good Evening. First post, so forgive me for bringing up an old post. But its a large reason i joined. (Though i have enjoyed reading these pages for ages) Does anyone know the timetable for the Class 70 003 through Southampton Central? I have yet to hear the 70 in action, i read it is a...
