Not sure if this belongs in this section or modelling... Given that Heljan have just released a new batch of these models, got me wondering - does anyone know what number range were built by Vulcan Foundry and Doncaster during the 1960s? I've read that there was a 40/60 split - reversed to...

I am going through some "old" digital photographs and found a 313 working 13.00 Brighton - Southampton on 13th May 2011. Can anyone give concrete evidence that this was so and I hadn't mistaken it for a Portsmouth Harbour service? The location and dot matrix display give no clues or "proof"...

Does anyone have any news/updates please? I understand one driving car had been done but it was under wraps when I last visited Shildon. At the time, the other two vehicles were in the workshop. Also, has the new Locomotion building opened yet?
