Good evening, I wondered if anyone knew why the above train (0554 ex Piccadilly) with 390123 arrived at Euston 101 late today. It looks like it sat at or near Weedon for an hour and a half or so. Was it a points failure at Hanslope?

I am aware of the HW1000 and HW2000 point machine. But I have looked, but am unable to find out anything about machines around in the 1950s. Does anyone know where I could find information about this subject?

Hello all, a while ago (1977), I acquired a logbook for one of the Western class locomotives. Not a fault book, the record kept at Swindon Works regarding component changes, modifications etc. Its a foolscap sized folder about an inch or so thick. Due to my advancing years, I would like to sell...

Hello all, Had a ride out on 7/12 and decided to bust my class 180 virginity. (!!) Must say I liked it, but then, they are Hydraulics. However, the Conductor on the Grand Central train informed me that my Priv. was not "strictly valid" and in future that I should go to the Conductor before...

Hello, I managed to bag one of these in 1976 (I seem to remember it cost £1.90) and its been sitting in my cupboard ever since. It was for a Western. I know it must have some value, I was considering flogging it, anyone know how much it would be worth? It is in Ex BR condition.

Hello all, Just a quick question, I was passing The Research Centre at Derby the other day in a delightful Meridian and passed an ETH Class 45 stabled there. At first I thought it was 45112 but it had the later marker lights fitted. It looked freshly repainted (blue/yellow) but the numbers were...
