    I have been asked an interesting question. Why does London’s Moorgate tube station have a mix of “traditional” bar-and-Circle roundels... and weird diamonds? Well... (1/6)

    (For those wishing to dig further; the livery was by David Carter Associates. There is an excellent summary of this period in Bruce Peter's "The changing face of British Railways", 2018.)

    OK this is all very well & good & OK there are few things more tedious than livery debates but oh this is MY turn now. SO the best livery for a Class 91 was painted *As_The_Gods_Intended* with an Electra motif, white front and GEC logo on nose. Don't @ me, I don't make the rules.

    Another reason to visit museum Shildon: recently-acquired Emett's "A Quiet Afternoon in the Cloud Cuckoo Valley" kinetic sculpture of 1984 is now running its 15 minute sequence 3x daily. Then off on a tour of sites, ending at in 2025.

    Sped past the defunct 1960s modern power signal box at Hither Green mainlines and Freight Depot on @NetworkRailSEnand my first thought was oh that’d make me a lovely sitting room. And kitchen. And maybe bedroom if I had earplugs. Sod it when can I move in

    Just found this bastardisation of the BR Corporate Identity on a Class 47 as done by Stratford Depot to celebrate the 1981 wedding of Charles & Diana and I can hear screaming from here

    Tri-ang's Arkitex model series must have been the genesis of many an architectural career for budding Erno Goldfingers wanting to construct their own modernist masterpieces. BTW if you enjoy these then DO head to at Brighton where they have many of these on display

    Tri-ang also produced its 00-scale Minic Motorway system - a bit like a less exciting Scalextric - so bored kids of the 1960s could relive the adrenaline of being stuck behind dawdling caravans and lorries shedding loads on the M62

    Tri-ang, later part of Hornby, created some BONKERS toys. One such was their Minic Narrowgauge Railway system: an attempt at an off-the-shelf ride-on garden train set. They were 10.25" gauge, originally track-powered (yikes!) a few used ones for sale today

    You don’t see many British houses with green glazed roof tiles now. This one in Chislehurst today

    Went to Chislehurst Caves. Lots of tunnels to yomp around with a hand-held Paraffin-fuelled hurricane lamp. 15 mins train from London Bridge. V good.

    I know I should probably enjoy railway station architecture most when it’s being used by people – as that what it’s for – but London Bridge is rather splendid and quiet between trains at weekends

    I made my friend Clare cross the road to come and look at this. Oh I do like a good Silver Shadow or Silver Cloud. Might even stretch to a Corniche.
