@MrJamesMay I thought you were going to say it was already reserved in case Sarah Vine changed her plans and needed to use!

@railexpress Where have the years gone?! Copy of Issue one as running sheets straight from the press and pre stitching. So many sleepless nights this time 30 years ago!!

@ModelRailClub @Yourallypally We are looking forward to being part of the show this weekend with Splott. Having been visitors for most of the 25 years, and IMREX/EUFMO before that, it will be great to be exhibiting with a layout for the first time. Can’t wait and limbering up for the hill already! 😀

[Alex Hall/Rail Infrastructure @AlexHallRailInf]

@NoelDolphin Great, thanks. 👍

@CrecyRail Purchased this at NEC ex. Have bought all D Larkin’s previous books & was looking forward to it. Whilst overall the book is as good as previous 1s, the repro of some photos is disappointing. A number are very dark to the point of not being able to see much of the wagon pictured.

@NoelDolphin With greater electrification it would make the justification slightly easier, but there is currently no incentive for OTM owners to make the significant extra invest in hybrid tech worthwhile which would also need to change.

@MrTimDunn @thenec @ModelRailClub Looking forward to NFRM also, will be there assisting on Splott.

If late-1980s South Wales steel industry on 4mm scale P4 is of interest!

[Alex Hall/Rail Infrastructure @AlexHallRailInf]

@NickCar23619332 The path is still there and it is accessible from the platform, however it is gated.

Set in the late 1980s, SPLOTT is a fictional representation of a small transfer yard located next to Cardiff Tidal Sidings and Tremorfa Steelworks - it’s at expoEM on 10/11 May

@RailwayHeritage Checking on Google Streetview it was still there 2 years ago as it this pic. About half way across on the East side of the bridge.

@railliveuk Looks like it’s going to be very interesting if the loco and rolling stock from Thailand will be there as in the GIF video clip in the post!!!

[Alex Hall/Rail Infrastructure @AlexHallRailInf]

@NoelDolphin Snap! They must be the standard Swiss give away of choice!!

[Alex Hall/Rail Infrastructure @AlexHallRailInf]

@RWilcockrail Vehicle maintenance work will end and the current Doncaster site close, but components work will continue for Wabtec in the UK at either the existing sites or at another new facility. Important for those involved that the facts are correctly stated.

@traindrivermum @NSE_Latchmere Hilton at Gateshead Newcastle with the right room on the right side at the right level gives these views.

[Alex Hall/Rail Infrastructure @AlexHallRailInf]

@Boyseyboy @traindrivermum That would be this view!!
