    Just viewed your videos. Really good. It looks like a lifetimes work. There are so many focal points to look at. You've obviously been a busy man.

    I am beginning to think I need a military train myself :idea:, especially now I have a ROD to pull it!:giggle: It will need a big gun in the middle!:thumbup:

    The station building sticks out and is very impressive!:cheers:


    P.S. The horizontal mode of video looks better.

    Some lovely videos there Old Knotty, your Cheddleton station looks good and I really like that PMT AEC Reliance Alexander Y Type single decker stopped on the high street, is it one of the first KVT batch from 1967 or the later BEH FEH ones from 1970/1 ?

    I do believe it is the earlier model from 1967 as that is my era and earlier ....... more or less ;-)

    Some of the KVT batch were allocated to Hanley Garage and a regular of the Hanley - Leek 15 route was KVT 195E, lovely comfortable and quite semi luxury buses that could be adapted from stage carriage work to tour hire quite easily. I liked the grey checkered mochette seating with leatherette headrests. Many were sold by PMT to Northern Ireland during the troubles when there were vehicle shortages due to hi jacking and arson attacks, in fact one from the last batch still exists FEH 169J and was repatriated from a dealers in Down Patrick and driven all the way back to Stoke where it lives in a compound near Church Lawton.

    Paul, just Tell Martin you have one the the old Berrisford buses... he may well have also ridden on it! :avatar:

    PS Martin had a few helpful photos emailed to the states for the building... I’ve always been very envious of it since I first saw his results... blooming marvellous!!! :thumbs:
