Well I am trying to get more cars. The thing is, it is impinging on my N scale layout if i'm spending all my cash buying ho scale passenger coaches. I have discovered that the US ebay has european trains come up every once in a while so I just have to scan the ebay and hope for a deal every now and then. I think I'm giving up on the overseas Ebay because people try to take advantage of you with shipping too much.
A good view down the line with a departing coal train. Straight ahead is the Brig line. [ September 28, 2005, 11:46 AM: Message edited by: Alan ]

The start of the blockage! 66200 is sidetracked into the far platform road. [ September 28, 2005, 11:49 AM: Message edited by: Alan ]
66200 stops at the signal. Expecting a long delay, the rear cab door is left open for ventilation. [ September 28, 2005, 11:50 AM: Message edited by: Alan ]
Another arriving empty coal train is parked in the weeds [ September 28, 2005, 11:51 AM: Message edited by: Alan ]
The unusual sight of a Northern class 153 and a Trans Pennine class 158 was explained when we realised that the 153 was dead and being pushed by the 158! [ September 28, 2005, 11:51 AM: Message edited by: Alan ]
Another Trans Pennine unit departs for Manchester. [ September 28, 2005, 11:51 AM: Message edited by: Alan ]
Another empty coal train arrives and is parked in the even weedier siding next to the previous one! [ September 28, 2005, 11:52 AM: Message edited by: Alan ]
As these trains had not gone to Immingham for loading and we had seen no loaded trains departing for about an hour, we assumed there was a problem with the loading facility.
