No problems, life is too short (more so at our age) to fall out and we both want to enjoy the forum for a few more years. (WINK)

Only a FEW more years?:confused:

Regards ,62440.:D

Thanks 62440 and pre65 for that.

Axe: I for one would be delighted if you would reinstate at least the photo.

We have a Shark on The EVR and it is due to get quite a hammering over the next few months as we top up the ballast over the three and a half miles from Shottle to Duffield.

I think there are a few Sharks left on the National Network, but I don't know how much use they get. Will try to find out.

Best wishes,

John H-T.

Hi Axe, I would also like you to reinstate that photo in the Gallery if you like as there is a lot to learn about Shark Brake Vans for me at least.

I agree, please reinstate the photo Chris, and like everyone is saying we all still have a lot to learn about every aspect of our hobby, all the best.

This is our recently outshopped example.

I remember those pway brakevans, has there ever been one modelled in "OO" gauge ?

I dont think MANY preserved railways have got one though.

We have one at chasewater (B993736 built 1956 BRCW) that is undergoing a full body overhaul. Seeing the carpenters skills joining old to new is amazing. Will post some photos next week. A very useful and versatile van.
