DavidW vond NBDR Lock's post leuk in het topic Bletchley Tube Wagon.
Don't worry too much about the prefix letters before the 'B'. Others will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think BR built wagons were all given a 'B' prefix and this is the number that will/would have been on the wagonplate and also painted on...

DavidW vond burnham-t's post leuk in het topic Rother Valley Railway.
As I understand it, there was a limited amount of upgrading done during the early part of WW2 with a view to enabling the K&ESR to be used as a diversionary route. I've not seen details of any such use (not so say it didn't take place under the...

DavidW vond 21B's post leuk in het topic Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.
I took a break from reading the forum. The debate doesn’t seem to have moved or improved over much. I think you are splitting hairs that aren’t there to be split. The railway has accepted a 150/2 on the same basis as it accepted the DEMU. The...

DavidW vond 34002salisbury's post leuk in het topic Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.
Can it not be both? 15x traction has been a massive part of the railway story from the 1980s, including the Southern Region. Although not specific to 150231 itself, 150s have regularly worked to Brighton, Portsmouth, Southampton, Weymouth,...

DavidW vond Gladiator 5076's post leuk in het topic Swanage Railway General Discussion.

It's quite possible the trend will be in the other direction. Volunteering is already in decline across all sectors . That's likely to continue not least because of later retirement and reduced pension expectations. Volunteers on heritage...

At the risk of asking the obvious question, have you tried wire brushing the solebar where the works plate should be? Some (though not all) builders stamped the number there.
