I am told that work on the Acton ML to Acton Wells junction wiring starts this summer.

Clearly those Accurascale model convinced you to go OO :rolleyes:

They also come with detail packs for all those fiddly hoses etc, plus tight lock coupling and curtains to hang inside the 1st class. The top also comes off to add passengers . . . Try looking online on their website, the end coach details when packs are added etc, utterly amazing! Enough to...

In recent weeks I've sold my Hornby classes 395, 401, & 402 plus my Mainline class 42 and 4 Hornby Mk 2Es - see a trend here . . . Still not sold my DCC fitted class 220 though! Also sold some DCC99s ex my Lima locos. Coaches have been the thing, from Accurascale of course. To add to my rake of...

thanks

430 was at Wolverton 443 Gascoigne wood 444 ? Have these slipped away quietly?

For the better I might add!

The ridiculous Sagas of the class 319-769, class 701s et al are costing the railways £millions, at taxpayers expense in a cost of living crisis. GWR have been very creative to improve railway services using 2nd hand trains to grow the railway, ASLEF should reward them for that. How on earth...

The omens for spending are very poor. Whilst the headlines focused on cuts in taxes behind the scenes . . https://www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/fears-bottleneck-upgrade-to-cambridgeshires-railways-wont-go-ahead-due-to-budget-cuts-12-03-2024/ Anything unlikely to be on the ground within a...

It was a tax cutting budget as the election is slated for May 2nd, so not one thinking of the future! Ely has been postponed along with pretty much anything undeliverable now!

My Hornby class 402 2-HAL unit has also departed last week Yes just imagine a LL class 50 at the front. I sold my Lima one & don't like the Hornby one, now where could I source one . . . . ?

Last month I had some arrivals: - 73126 from Dapol. Nothing special, but so cheap it was worth the purchase. From TMC and 50% off, a Bachmann class 410 with 411 7113 leading and TC 404 trailing. My other 411 unit 7134 is hauling 4TC 8022. Yes, I know that's a wrong formation but 7134 runs...

I'm awaiting my dispatch email :) AS rocks!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-titanate_battery Looks to be an ideal chemistry. The lower density isn't an issue with trains.

A lot depends on the batteries chosen. Older Lithium Ion batteries are ideally kept between 20-80% with 1500-5000 cycles, better still 30-70% whereas LFP batteries used in buses and standard range EVs it's 10-90% and 5000-10000 cycles. Both suffer in the cold. We are now seeing sodium ion &...

There is no Emerson Park though, its Hornchurch!

I quite like the Lioness Line. The Watford DC lines have never really had a good name before and that names ties in with popular public opinion. The Windrush Line is also quite well considered as it has a direct relationship to local history & people there today. No combination of East London /...

So with pages of quick whataboutry & why that name, I instead referred to the TfL website https://madeby.tfl.gov.uk/2024/02/15/overground_line_names/?intcmp=75213 Please can we read this before making uninformed comments!

But it does go through Mildmay Park which once had a station of that name
