Thanks for that Jerry, the feature on Normanton (my home town from
1948-1970) was particularly interesting and some of the NUR men featured stir memories from that era.John.
Excellent. Loved the Buffer Test movie, though the date on the web page is wrong, as the movie itself says 1945 (web page says 1939).
Anyone modelling LNER would find this to be an invaluable resource.

I found this quote to be particularly amusing........
"LNER experimented with a jet engine mounted on a wagon to clear the line but found it also blew the ballast away breaking windows in signal boxes and railway huts as well as destroying fences!"

Thats fantastic, it just like one of those things you'd expect an elderly eccentric Uncle to get up to, isn't it? (Well it's the sort of thing mine would get upto anyway!)
It isn't that original. The RAF used to mount a jet engine on a trailer and tow it up and down to clear ice from runways.
