The BL plant at longbridge was built on a railway line that became surplus to requirements and was closed it did have an extensive railway network and it's own engines but as we all know when the end came it came very quickly. only the chains to fix and then a bit of varnish then on to the next one 5 to do in total all bound for the plant.

Ian, those look exellent. Right stupid question time. Obviously you have scanned a pic of a label then re-sized. What programme/software did you use and what size did you end up using. I've got some car registrations to do but microsoft word wont allow me to get small enough

As phill suggested I used Paint set the background colour to black and the foreground colour to white, I then selected the letter option then set the letter size at 48, wrote what I wanted then used Paint to reduce the size saved it and then copied it to Office repeated it as many times as I needed then printed them out.lancer1027 said:Ian, those look exellent.

Great stuff Ian could be an Allegro in there 
What did you use for the wooden planks for case? I'm always tempted to steal loads of tea/coffee stirrers (wood ones) from McDonalds or Starbucks etc when I nip into
those establishments, I always think they look like they could have some sort of model railway application :wave: Ross....

Hi Ross those stirrers are what used for the floor in Severn. Although mine are from Costa, each time I go in I pick up two or three but don't use them to stir my coffee. just pop them in my pocket. I have just glued a couple together to make the wooden cross members and other bits for my NER buffer stop. I will post some pictures once I have it assembled.

25Kv it will be I have allways had a fasination with the sparks effect, both of the loco's are being constructed for me by MTH the 40 is straight out of the kit box JLTRT and assembled the 86 now thats a different proposition, the kit has been retro'ed back to an 86 0 from an 86 2 as it was more in line with what I wanted. Mat removed so much white metal from the roof of the cabs that he was picking up filllings for months,
