time table so yeah mix photos DVDs books realt to Carwin look ah very glossy isn’t it is it oh so Nigel Graz obviously designed all the the malard and The Flying Scotsman of you see pictures of these people you just just the name do you know what I mean no I agree 40 that my favorite steam Locos and detail what is it it’s a stunny Pacific ah the were streamlined some of them then they they took the streamlining off but that one there yeah would have been built streamline cuz if they weren’t they curved down there they were more elegant so cuz it was hidden under streamlining they just covered it up should we have a look go on then now you’re here so let’s try and find [Music] one see there look that’s one without the streamlining on right so that would have been built without the streamlining yeah little things like that sure they actually cared I always I know I can’t help it look at these aren’t they beautiful though £75 LMS half pint teapot how thick and well made that is I’ve not seen that one before put that back in properly can’t see what that says can you Hots never ever seen the only place that anyone’s seen one is the national R Museum never seen I I they’re just so unusual what makes them unusual they’re decid they’re decided to go in the middle of a table so you’ve got LMS Hotel both sides oh right I see I see yeah you can see it from both sides good Mar yes absolutely a it lovely I do like old black and white photos not when the not just because some of I mean obviously had Color Film then but there just something about the black and white even on a relatively you know newish black 60s picture we’re setting up packing up yes packing up I I’d say but you you know better than I would the lights crew I used to have a bottle very Le a green pill bottle tablet medicine bottle whatever from the um London Midland Scottish yeah yeah I wish I still had it I’ve never seen one for sale anywhere something like that big that sort of color there Glenn Eagles Hotel Railway paychecks unless you can get already that that’s catching me ey just because of the color let’s look at these steam ones so that’s an air fix or is it no sorry Main Line Scot Guardsman we’ve got one of those we got that 35 we’re going to be doing a video on Mainline pretty soon now this at the time when it came out was an absolutely brilliant model and the M detail on it yeah real um Game Changer because you got all the I was just looking because you can see and I know it’s very hard without the the very open isn’t it the cab so you can see more look at all the yeah it’s still there though that’s nice that it’s a nice model I’m not sure how well they run but it is a tender Drive which is unusual for Mainline so maybe I think it might be just that because of rumor or it’s somebody else developed it but nice that I like that I don’t like tender dve how much is that does it say no 30 gear missing but it doesn’t affect the running that’ll be newer one cuz that’s dapple when they took over the the mainline models so they would have made some improvements to it ah how much is that one then it’s going to be more than 30 35 oh that’s not bad I’d go that newer Lady Diana Spencer so there’s another this is the air fix one on they were tender Drive they nice aren’t they so pretty though aren’t they I like that 45 we’ve got one of those I need to fix that one of ours there a wire come off I need to to solder it a great western ones all of them wow there some more there those are a lot big difference in price I think these a newer maybe I don’t know well

they said yes you can talkes that we had to pay to move it so we got it for a pound um it’s going to cost us about 12 to move so 4,000 of carriage we a campaign which actually got that much we’ve just check 135,000 so we’re going to use that to buy generator so we can power the trade up so it works so you can sit on it it feels like it was all the right noises all that kind of so where’s it going to go um we’re heading to the T which is in Northwest St been there just um and they’ve got a mile and a half track and they’re going to help us let us do basically what we want with it so we’re

preserved at all or no no the only other bits that exist the fire service got two driving cars practice play with right practice evacuations that kind of thing any else not this time similar times of nice so are you going to leave it in the blue and gray or you this is how it is at the moment right so this is the kind of history of the liveries on the right how it started and then how it ended up but this is actually how it is right now that’s my you keep it like that keep it like that yeah the only thing we might be tempted to do is the light clusters are different Al they’ve been modernized yeah right so might put one end back how it was because SP half his life which like this picture is quite nice the lady you can’t quite see her lady there is Queen so she traveled on this very train when when it opened the network we figured out exactly where she sat and so we’ve got a picture of her on the train so we’re going to looking at recreating that picture something of interest um are any these modeled by any not yet hores or anything like that lots of people making similar ones use the same body shells so I was thinking they might come and give you a have word with yourselves about it open open to of ideas good that we’re very much we’re not kind of keeping everything in someone comes to us an idea we’ll look at it see if we can make it work would be good wouldn’t it well excellent we look forward to seeing it running have you any sort of time frames for this um fet came withdrawn this summer um T valy is currently going some development work so they’re probably next
