N Gauge Discussion / Re: An imaginary cross country...Last post by Wrinkly1 - December 18, 2025, 11:47:53 PMI used to travel from Bristol to Crewe during my college days. In 1966 and 1967 the 'recommended' route was via Newport and Shrewsbury but around 1968 this changed to using the NE/SW trains via B'ham NS. The motive power via Newport was almost always a Western hydraulic loco but via B'ham it was almost always a Peak (although I can remember a Class 31 being used from Birmingham to Gloucester on one occasion - possibly a failure substitute).
I honestly cannot imagine a regular service from York to Cornwall using Oxford although my girlfriend (now wife of 55 years) did get diverted that way on one occasion following a crash. Earlier this year my train from Bristol was diverted through the Severn Tunnel and Chepstow following a bridge strike. Even that short diversion added 75 minutes to the journey! #54

N Gauge Discussion / Re: Stanier Suburbans from Dap...Last post by madchadbrad - December 18, 2025, 09:08:38 PMQuote from: Stevie DC on December 18, 2025, 04:38:18 PMQuote from: madchadbrad on December 17, 2025, 01:27:59 PMI just tried to express my interest in some BR lined maroon versions but cannot get their system to register any number other than "0" for the DBT 2P-010-404. All the other ones I selected had a pull down menu for the quantity but not that one! I just tried again on my laptop, rather than my iPad, and it finally worked OK. I had sent Dapol a message about it and they said it had been a problem on mobile phones and they thought had been fixed but they would check it again. Maybe it had been fixed or maybe it was my iPad! All sorted now anyway. #60
