Just the wagon I'm afraid, I don't think I could cope with a Hawthorn Leslie!

It's an Appleby Frodingham original diagram hopper wagon for anyone interested

Various booklets and manuals from BR days and earlier I picked up cheap including a southern railway driving manual for motormen and a wonderful LMS safety booklet. At one point I had a complete service manual for a peak but that went to some folks who look after a real one.

4 x water colours from Mk1 coaches. They used to be mounted above the seats and below the luggage racks if I remember correctly. The water colours were glued to the back of a glass sheet, and I have recently had them framed.

I have an Amtrak Lake Shore Limited train ticket. Does that count?

My house number is a brass 79 number plate from an old railway loco or carriage, it was here when we moved. The previous owner ran a rail travel business and was a bit of a rail buff. On the dining room wall he had a loco nameplate, "The Lady Macbeth", but took it with him.

(He also owns a London Routemaster bus which he gets out once in a while).

I was an Apprentice at Bristol Bath Road and I've still got all my apprentice log books, tons of HST technical books and a photo with me and every other member of bath road staff, stood in front of 47816 'Bristol Bath Road' at it's naming ceremony just before the depot closed. :'(

Lots of good memorys there - like the time i shorted out a HST power car battery (110v) with a ratchet  They called me DC after that, but they wouldn't tell me why....

I have four railway lamps (two large, two small). Three are LMS and one is a BR lamp. All but the BR lamp, which was given to me along with a wagon plate, I bought from antique shops.

Hey all

I have the following:

1) Class 101 (i think) builders plate acquired at a train fair
2) Small English Electric plate that wouls be mounted on the side of a power unit
3) A slightly bent red station wall mounted arrows of indecision recused from a skip outside wilmslow station when one of the staff ripped it off and through in the skip!
4) One of the hardboard Intercity/virgin cross country route maps from the inside of a mk2/3 acquired at a fair for a fiver
5) An 80's BR Tie
6) 60's BR waistcoat, trousers and jacket

I think thats it, although i would love a rear oil taillamp or headlamp at somepoint! 

Bye for now

I have an ashtray from an Intercity 125.
It is right next to my keyboard and gets used everyday.

I have a collection of Railway Wagon plates mostly from the early BR era but I do have an LNER plate from 1937

I HAD two very nice old brass candle lamps until FiL smashed the glass chimneys by leaning a plank against them.
