We always called them Mickey Mouses.... Quite apporpriate, I thought.

The D49 engines were allocated to the North Eastern and Scottish area of the LNER. Shortly after building they were tested on both the Great Central and Great Northern lines appearing at both Marylebone and King's Cross but did not linger long at either! They did occasionally work south to Lincoln ...

Quote:- "Does the team which produced it have anything else in the pipeline?" At present I am playing around "trying" to do some activities for a single line route and that I find much more difficult than route building......... Thans for the update. If you don't produce anything else (and I hope y...

How about a Prince of Wales - I have a stunning Cuneo print of Queen Of The Belgians at New Street, alongside a brand new Jubilee, Kolharpur (I think) the Prince is grubby, lined black with huge LMS numbers on the cabside. Probably about 1936/7 as the Jubilee (in red) looks brand new. Think you mea...

As someone who bought MSTS purely to run S&C 1920, I can't praise the detail work too highly.

Does the team which produced it have anything else in the pipeline?

some more LNWR locos is on the cards at some point. Don't worry I will keep it up this project is too close to completion to give up now :) How about a Prince of Wales - I have a stunning Cuneo print of Queen Of The Belgians at New Street, alongside a brand new Jubilee, Kolharpur (I think) the Prin...

I am pleased to announce that I am now 3 miles from Carlisle! I decided it was pointless ending at Hawick, so the metals now run to Carlisle! It will be some time until I get the trackwork laid here tho, not least since I have no info yet! Please excuse a beginner's query, but does the tempting pro...

[quote= I have a copy of the Claughtons performances and some other details from the test (potentional activities? )[/quote]

Good idea - these would sit nicely on S&C 1920!

Well its been a while coming but its getting closer, the Claughton has been seen in steam at the works today. Yes that is works photo grey its carrying and for those of you who are interested the number and name is 2222 Sir Gilbert Claughton, class pioneer :) Its probably too early to start thinkin...

I've heard of the M&GN, bought the Bachmann Limited eddition wagon for Sheringham a few years back, and my Garndmother used to live not far from the NNR. Haven't been recently (1996 last time) so would love to go again get some photos of the J15 that runs on the NNR and see if any of the old trackb...

I've just noticed Mark Broadhurst's slip coach activity for the SMJ - last week I was fascinated by a long chapter on GCR/LNE slip coaches for the same area in a book called The GCR in LNER Days, Vol 2.

Highly recommended reading - whether you use Mark's activity or not.

Alan - Excuse my ignorance, but what is trainset chooser and where do you get it?

Hi Crick, You have been eating too much of that Morcambe Bay rock :-) I used to travel regularly from KingsX to Berwick on the ECML in the fifties and never saw a double header or banker used. However must admit they sometimes changed engines at Doncaster. I'm with Mike on this one. I used to spend...
