    Collecting window labels

    Are those of more interest due to their special event advertising rather than a standard one used for engineering works I wonder. Not that I wish to sell my poster. Just wondering if others collect this stuff.

    Collecting window labels

    All this comments on labels, posters and their costs, do people collect railway posters and ask at stations for unused or no longer required ones?

    Will there ever be a TV show about London Victoria?

    Would a Victoria program be able to show GoviaThameslink Railway and/or Network Rail in positive light? Again they haven't done one about Waterloo. Equally Clapham Junction would be fascinating. It is after all Britain's busiest railway station.

    Where to get glass for BR guards lamp and wick/paraffin

    Hello there I'm a novice to when it comes to oil lamps and I have recently bought a British Rail guards lamp with rotating glass. So red/green/white. However it is missing the round glass at the very front. Does anyone know where I would get replacement glass for this or is it a case of just...
