    There is a mistake on the map on page 17, the Mountsorrel branch comes off the North end of the up goods loop, not as shown.

    Indeed. It's just that I got a wigging when it happened as the TPO thread was already on it so my new thread died a death. Backed the wrong horse again!

    Is the postal vehicle repairable? And what happened to the class 37 involved in the accident?

    The Class 37 is reported by another Forum member as being at Nemesis at Burton awaiting repair. The rest of that post is currently awaiting moderation because of comments made therein.
