New Pages added

Overnight I received an email from my UK contact James with some additional information concerning Pocklington.

He sent me through some extracts from Hudson's Way, which I have now incorporated in a separate 'Page' to the left. From a modelling perspective, James mentioned the LNER K3 is available from Bachmann and is very good! Likewise Bachmann produce the Ivatt 4MT (sometimes called Ivatt Class 4) and this is very good indeed. Of the diesels Bachmann produce the Class 37 and Class 40 which were typical locos for the latter part of the line's operation.

I have checked the Bachmann Branchline site to check availability of these models and I could only find the Bachmann part numbers 32-578 and 32-579 for the Ivatts. Similarly the Class 37 and 40 for the transition period might not be currently available. I might have to keep an eye out on Ebay!

James also emailed a couple of photos of Kiplingcoates signal box, which are very good. I have created a 'Page' called 'Photos' and these are now referenced there.

For those interested to know where Pocklington is I have included a diagram of the York to Beverley Line at the bottom left of the Home page.

Thanks James for the information.
