Hi all. Is there a green 67? My uncle says he saw it with Northern Belle stock through Gillingham (Kent) recently. I can't find one online, and suggested Evening Star, the 66, but he's sure it was a, 67. Many thanks. DJ

Hastings unit was an idea but agreed about the loco. Did a quick check but didnt see any tours last week, even one it could have failed on.

Thank you for that. Wasnt sure if that was still running or if it was green. Will offer that as the identity. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Actually just looked at some pics and think the VSOE would still be Pullmans, so probably not the one.

Thank you both, certainly not royal train but could've been a 67. I'll try and get him to remember the day.

Could anyone help please? My uncle's friend said he saw a train passing coastbound through Chatham during the week. Apparently it was a red (EWS?), possibly class 37 hauling six green coaches with small windows, about two foot square. Unfortunately he can't remember what day it was and...

Hello all. I'm building a model layout with a section based on Stewart's Lane. I'm presuming there is no turntable there anymore, so am looking to find out how Clan Line (and other engines), after running the Surrey Hills circular, are turned ready for the next trip? Im guessing its on a...

Thanks, I've searched for Bletchley using the link on your signature but no joy. :|

Does anyone have a photo of this? Would look great on a model layout.

Can anyone who knows or lives in Cornwall help please. Going to Newquay in a couple of weeks with the family. We have three nights in a guest house. Can anyone recommend places in or near Newquay we could take the kids (girls 9 and 11) in the evening to keep them entertained. Thanks DJ

So, today I went to Kennington: thought I'd have a go at the loop. Found the right platform and let two trains go, both with Edgware via Charing Cross on the back. Third came in and went for it. Sat in the second carriage, but then the driver came to the window and said train terminates here...
