Not too sure about any of these latest offerings.

@EtchedPixels that Deep Purple track sounds just like it is.....a group of 70 somethings trying to recreate their past.

@Moonglum Is it really 56 years ago that Deep Purple in Rock was released?  I was 15 and loved it at the time but not now. That SKW version is interesting but not, as you may well imagine, for me.

@Newportnobby - I never did really get The Beatles and still don't to this day although I concede that they wrote some unforgettable and amazing songs.

Those two tracks have done nothing to change my opinion.

So.....all in all three grumpy old negative comments from me   

Yes, that popped up the other day for me. To be honest, these guys are getting old and still have the chops but Deep Purple in Rock was 56 years ago! I find these ladies more interesting...


See what you think @EtchedPixels

Tricky for N, but there certainly have been small cube cameras etc. sat on flat wagons. Either recording to micro SD card or even transmitting to a TV

I experimented with one a few years ago, it was ok but once you've seen one cab-ride around your layout you've seen 'em all

A google search should find you some results.  For example:

New Deep Purple song out so was listening to that. Definitely Purple in style but didn't grab me although it's amazing that Ian Paice can still outdrum most people despite being nearly 80.

Quote from: Newportnobby on Today at 12:12:35 PMThanks Steven, but would they have got as far as the WR and SR?

Absolutely! They'd have gone wherever their loads needed to go. Or they'd go wherever overhanging loads would need to go - they were often used as under-runners for long loads:

Photos on Paul Bartlett's site showing them in Bristol, Newport Docks, & Cardiff Docks

The single bolster wagon was also a common runner for the Cowans hand cranes being produced by the NGS. Some were bought from BR and used as internal users - Newport Docks and Empire Paper Mills, Kent used them.

Don't bother waiting for a vacuum braked version - there were none. The closest they got was a through pipe.

Anyone out there can you give any info on where I can purchase an on board camera in a van for my layout.

I also have an old Minitrix A4, a present from Mrs Grumbeast from more than a few years ago.  It still runs beautifully but I have no box (it was another surprise find, spotted by her at the back of a dark cupboard in a store in Exeter on a visit back to the UK in the 90s)

I know they aren't the most accurate but I think they do capture the overall look of the A4 well enough and I love it!

On vacation in Charleston, SC. Had one big lift planned this week. Planned my morning around this: showed up at the hours posted on Facebook and Website.

Closed!! Not a word,note... nothing.

I don't want to speak for Steven B but if a wagon is "Common User" it will go to whatever destination its load takes it regardless of company or region.

Some Beatles stuff from the 1990s. Yes, you read it right - the 90s. An album called 'Anthology' was released and a couple of singles came off it. They were, in fact, unreleased demos from the late 70s
