that's beautiful

Paul

Caledonian days they were a deep purple background with white letters. In LMS days they painted the background a creamy/yellow colour and the letters are black

I've got a couple of Running in boards which I'll try to photograph and upload

Just a cheeky, early morning message for Paul Reilly: I don't suppose you want to sell one of your Luib enamel nameplates by any chance? ... Would look lovely on my wall, housed in a replacement wooden frame! Well, I had to ask. Best wishes, Michael Dunn. Hi Michael, I'm sure something can be arran...

David, strangely enough if you wanted to know what the LMS (actually the original Caledonian enamel ones repainted by the LMS) Running-In-Boards look like I happen to have both of them up in my loft....long story... They wee originally blue/purple enamel with white letters which the LMS repainted a ...

Thanks David, it's the 4mm range that I'm after, sorry I didn't specify that (DOH!).

If you have them I'm in.

Paul

Looking at that it could also have come from Midcalder.

Not all WCML mileposts were marked with 'Carlisle' - this only started somewhere north of Coatbridge. From at least MP 98 (Carnbroe) southwards they were standard numbered MPs. I would reckon yours comes from somewhere in the Motherwell area.

Looking at the link below (to another discussion on the Signalling forum) it looks very like a wooden-built version of the Drumvaich 'box

Oh, I joined it so managed to do so and boy was it worth it!!!!! After all this time searching! Anyway, I think the poster is going to try to put them on the Signal Box forum so they should be viewable soon. In any case, in advance of anyone on here seeing them, do my eyes deceive me or it the 'box ...

Posted on another forum, follow the link to see what amounts to hen's teeth - photos of St Brides 'box in close-up!!!

With thanks to David who posted them in the first place

They were ordered by the Belgian State Railways and were direct copies (with some adjustments such as wider cabs etc.) as the Dunalastair II (Caledonian 766) class. One is preserved, in Belgium (link below takes you to a photograph). http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/3997-4-4-0-dunal...

Nice work, thanks.

Paul

17th photo down, similar view (but from the opposite platform) may be wrong but I think that may be it...

I take your point but, according to recent photos, the footbridge is now at the south end of the station although an old map has it at the north - still fits with the hills on both sides - it's incredibly frustrating Looking north fro the south end of the station http://www.moraymrg.org.uk/mr-images...

I think it might be Aviemore....

Paul

I have bought a negative from a well known auction site but don't know where it is - on the basis of the hill formations I originally thought Aberfoyle but the station buildings and platform don't look right - perhaps somewhere in the north east, ex-GNSR area? I haven't received the actual negative ...

Hi Jim, I'd take two if you go ahead with it. Good luck in any case.

Paul

Checked the maps and the 25 inch series would be perfect but, incredibly frustratingly, the nearest map stops half to three quarters of a mile away, at the head of the Pass of Leny! If the next one in the series, westwards, were available I'm sure it would show the footprint of the building.

I may be wrong but would be interested in anyone's opinion. It looks to me as John observes like the 'box and house are not attached which, if true, would make this fundamentally different from the other locations where such structures were employed (Awe Crossing, Glen Lochy, Drumvaich and Dalchonzi...

Hi Jim

count me in too

Thanks

Paul

Is John Boyle's etch still available for this coach?

I'd be interested in either of the two machines in 4mm.

As would I

Tony, you have a PM from me also

Thanks

A couple of us have started the research stage of a project to extend an existing layout and build a model of Dalmally station, the track layout will be as it was as a through station in the 1920's. We are trying to minimise the use of modellers license but, the maximum platform length looks like i...

Hi Allan

didn't receive the PM, possibly a glitch as I'm in South Sudan at present (long story....)

Hopefully get it in the fulness of time
