@shuggeemonsta @SalopianLyne Were any headlights on 31s actually repositioned or was it just that the later fitted ones had it in the other lower position? I have no idea why the position changed, but I think this position looks much better.

STAFFORD: 20058 & Cl. 20
A pair of choppers bring a long rake of 16T coal wagons through Stafford in 1986. Would be lovely to see a pair of 20s on a rake of these at the GCR one day!

Time for #ThirtyOnesOnThursday and first slide out of the loft this morning is 'Skinhead' 31109 at Derby on 31st May 1983, with a single GUV in tow, probably waiting to be attached to one of the several parcels/TPO trains that called there on weekday evenings back then.

Popped into my local for the first time in a while and picked up this Pilchard wagon. It's a bit early for my era but it's a nice addition to the wagon fleet. #wagons #tmrguk

@DibsYard To be fair I already have a layout in the loft and I need a workshop for other projects.

Another panel added to the side of the van which now has an identity on both sides again. #wagons
