Having only driven Northern Chief a couple of times since it returned from overhaul at KAD, i can confirm that the real thing can be a little light footed, other than that a lovely engine

Ben

With some of the . we have been firing, chalk might be an improvement

How about the green taken from Tom's pic, as the current one is a bit bitty? Firstly i assume you don't mean bitty as in Little Britain :lol: :lol: , Secondly Tom's pic is not the current livery, Northern Chief returned from overhaul in may this year http://www.rhdr.org.uk/marshlander/mrxtra/mrxtra...

Ben, Sorry to be picky but i have just had the chance to study your coaches closely, the bottom window line on the coaches is level from end to end, not lower in the centre section. See below http://www.rhdr.org.uk/rhdr/stock/stock_art/808_blue_yellow.jpg http://www.rhdr.org.uk/rhdr/stock/stock_art/...

I forgot those! :oops: :oops: :oops: I was going to start the guards vans the other day but I thought I would get the teaks/16 seaters etc. out of the way! I have planned to do: Coach 25P Royal Saloon Clayton Pullman All of the luggage...

excellent work, what about the guards/luggage coaches & bar car ?

Hi Colin

I'm there every saturday (either driving or working a signal box), just let me know if there is anything you need

Tim

Norton Brown is still there but no longer operates the signalbox, he can mostly be found either at Hythe or New Romney dispatching trains, sadly Eric Copping passed away quite a few years ago.

The loco that we passed was No.3 Southern Maid, just leaving Hythe
