c-inset 1 is the bomber command memorial at the junction of Piccadilly/hyde park, C inset 2 is a London RT [as opposed to RTL/RTW] bus.

That seems rather odd Snoggle - Surely part of the business case for reopening Lea Bridge was to increase the flow from Walthamstow Central to Stratford City without increasing the number of buses operating from Walthamstow going around Whipps Cross and down the chronically narrow Leytonstone High Road towards Stratford.

Is there any more information on whether a SE chord at Coppermill Junction linking the Chingford to Liverpool Street line to Stratford will be built?

Yes, Superteacher & Gantshill - I believe I was on that very train this morning en-route to the LTM Depot. We were told to disembark at Acton Town.

Insets in location C look like the crest from 34050 "Royal Observer Corps" and the entrance to Epping Station.

I am fairly sure that a very young Petula Clark [as a pre-teenager] also sang in public for the first time serenading tube dwellers during the Blitz.

May be totally off the wall but I seem to recall there was a Canada Dock in Bootle - I visited a HMCS Submarine there around 1976. Are these all names of docks in Liverpool?

The inset in D is a Sherman tank - If D is Enfield, then the connection would presumably be the old Royal Ordnance Factory at Enfield.

Somewhere like Stamford Brook - between Acton Town and Hammersmith. Assuming that Colin D was heading towards central London from a well known airfield in Middlesex.

Odd you should say, "It's not London", given that there are what appear to be LT roundels on the backing plates on the bus shelter-ish bits.

Inset on the right in A is the fighter control ops room at Uxbridge. Inset on the left looks primitive enough to be Luton Airport.

A whole variety Tram Man - 51ft Gresley push-pull carriages, J15 0-6-0 tender steam engines and F4/F5 [and hybrid F5/6]] 2-4-2 tank engines for example.

Yes- Definitely Coventry for the inset - That is 46240's smokebox plate, city crest and nameplate at the top of the stairs - albeit a mirror image .

inset 2 looks like the vestry house museum in Walthamstow and inset 4 is probably somewhere on the Watercress Line.

Thank you for those kind words. It has already been scaled down to 1/76.2 for an individual doing a scalefour project. So he effectively owns the rights to the 1/76.2 master and the rights to have resin copies made from it. However, that applies solely to the 3-plank wagon. The 5plank and 6plank wagons [which would not look out of place on a Watford tip working behind a red pannier..... ] are "up for grabs". Send Radley Models an e-mail if you feel that they are something people would be interested in.

Using the drawings in Jim Snowden's seminal work, "Met Rly Rolling Stock", I have produced resin bodies with WM Axleboxes/springs and accurate LT-type Lost wax buffers for the 1890s build of 9ft6in WB 3-plank wagon as well as the 9ft WB 5-plank high-sided open goods and the modified version with 6 planks used as Neasden power station ash/slurry wagons. These bodies are designed to fit Bill Bedford's sets of etched W-irons and etched brake gear; These now being readily available from the Eileen's Emporium website. Slaters 7120 wheelset [3ft 1in split-spoke] is the preferred wheelset. A cruelly-enlarged picture of the completed test build dressed up to look like the preserved 3-plank wagon at Acton is below. These wagon bodies will be available through Radley Models imminently if not sooner. Arun

Very nice - I especially liked the final scenes with the two car DM-CT unit [and the CT leading]. More impetus towards producing a 7mm [probably a 1925 Met-Cam one] CT to go with the 1925 CL DM I did for Radley Models.

Thanks for that - I would have expected that the business case for re-opening Lea Bridge station would have relied at least in part on restoring this chord. I wonder if Waltham Forest council, TfL and Network Rail are singing off the same hymn sheet on this one.

I can't remember whether I saw it on this site or not. However, I recall some correspondence regarding reinstating the South East quadrant chord at Coppermill Junction so that trains from Chingford would have an alternative route to Liverpool Street. The first route being the current Chingford-Clapton-Hackney Downs-Liverpool St and the second being Chingford-Walthamstow Central-Lea Bridge - Stratford- Liverpool Street [or possibly just terminating at Stratford since that area is expanding]. Does anyone know what current thinking is regarding reinstating this link/chord and services?
