@JoshuaR35073488 Last year was the 40th anniversary of the crash test. I did a model of the loco, carriages, wagon and flask. I even managed to pen an article that was published in Hornby Magazine, which made me over the moon!

@greatestgather That’s what I like to hear. 🤓👍. Hopefully shunters of all sorts will make an appearance too! So much Railway story to tell!!

@ScotRail If only the rest of the U.K. could add an extra carriage with more bike spaces, it would bust the railways and peoples health and options for travel no end. If only GBR could do something about it.

@NoelDolphin We seem to add to process because we can rather than asking if we should. Lessons learnt and all that. But there comes a point where there is too much and it’s value is diminished, increasing the overall costs making progress less viable.

@Tarka_Man Clearly it’s not right on so many levels, but the quality of the image does make you realise that it is only a matter of time before we won’t know what is real and what is AI.

@Hornbymag When I was 16 I got a work experience there. I wanted to work in the Engineering Development Unit, but then they privatised the railways and that was the end of my hopes and dreams. Now we have to buy our locos and carriages from overseas. I find it all very disheartening. ☹️

@SignaloftheDay I didn’t know signal could have emotions, but this one is looking a bit non-plused 😐…🤓

@trainsongsbook I did an updated version as a tribute to the Intercity 125 High Speed Train:

@LewisChSmith @Bruneluni @BrunelResearch @brunelbusiness @railway200 Cool. Hope you are able to cover ‘why’ our railways exist. For me everything our railways do is to support the social and economic well being of this country in an accessible, sustainable and efficient way. How it does it and what with, comes after understanding ‘why’. 🤓👍

Here is Sir Nigel Greasley running through Long Eaton railway station having taken part in a photo shoot to promote the @greatestgather @railway200 event taking place at Litchurch Lane Carriage Works in Derby on 1st, 2nd and 3rd August.

@TrainiacV41582 May fav class 56 as I got to ride in the engine and cab from Leicester depot to March via Mountsorrel in 1989 whilst doing a summer work experience at the Railway Technical Centre in Derby. The RTC went to the wall when they privatised the railway and we lost so much capability.
