About 40 locos or other powered vehicles in use for me. Aim is to keep basically to late 1970s BR blue, but in my imaginary world Diesel Hydraulics lasted till then and some were still in maroon. A few later anachronisms have also crept in, in terms of liveries.
Trying to keep number down to those that will fit on layout, as I don't like locos hidden away in boxes. Have Rapido Class 45 on pre-order though..
Also still a number of old Lima and Minitrix locos hidden away in the cupboard, plus Poole Farish 08s and DMU which occasionally may have a run.

Quote from: Bealman on Yesterday at 07:26:18 AMTwo members of the local constabulary just walked through the bowlo looking for underage drinkers. I said, "Okay, I'll come quietly officers"

They were not amused. The only reason they were here was to get out of the 45 degree heat, I'm sure  ;)
They were probably the youngest in the place.  :laugh:  :laugh:

Possible circa 1963 repainted from white to yellow if anybody remembers that cold winter so the railways thought safety and visibility if that jogs a memory

I can't answer your question but can only refer to my set from West Hill Wagon Works. They measure 15 mm from the bottom of the 'stick' to the top of the figures. Obviously you can 'plant' them at any height on your layout provided they are firmly mounted. I suggest that this was much the same practice on the real railway.
I seem to recall they were once painted white, before yellow was recognised as a 'hi-viz' colour. Can anyone confirm when the change took place?

N Gauge Discussion / Numeral height of speed signs
Last post by alistair@macsmodels - Yesterday at 06:45:47 PM
I was wondering if someone with a bit more knowledge than me would be able to help.

I am trying to find the height of the numbers on the speed signs from the 60s to 80s?  I have attached an image of one to help with the type I need help with.

Cheers
