The booklet issued by British Railways and the wholly owned subsidiary company The Pullman Car Company to promote the introduction for the new diesel express trains known as "The Blue Pullman".
It is undated but the Western Region sets and services described here entered service on 12 September 1960, a few weeks after the corresponding LMR sets started on the Manchester - London (St Pancras) "Midland Pullman" services.
At this stage two services were operated - From Wolverhampton (Low Level) through Birmingham Snow Hill to London Paddington - the old GWR route that would see closure through the Black Country a few years alter - and from Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads.
The South Wales services were introduced in 1961.

The use of these specially constructed diesel multiple units had been considered from the mid-1950s as part of the acquisition of the still privately owned Pullman concern in 1954, the realisation that the Pullman stock was aging and that there was a need to include the trains in the growing 'Modernisation' programme.
The units were constructed by Metro-Cammell and there were teething troubles, mostly around ride quality, as well as staffing issues.
That aside the new trains, in their striking Nanking Blue livery, set a new tone for high speed express services that would help inform the next decade and the introduction of the highly successful 'Inter-City" concept.

The trains ran until 1973 and all were withdrawn and scrapped. 
The booklet is very detailed - even down to the designs and names of the finishes - the photo of the First Class car showing the 'Scheme 2" "Devon Weave" random red rectangles on a black background.
The design was highly considered and of a high standard along with an effective 'rebranding' of the Pullman name - a consistent application of the new 'coat of arms' seen on the brochure cover being rolled out across all aspects of the service.

1962 - 92000 at Snow Hill steals the attention from the Blue Pullman! 
BR 9F 92000, an 86A Newport engine hauling a lightweight mixed freight waits patiently on the middle road at Snow Hill station. The big clock on platform 7 says 12.50 so 92000 may well have to wait for the Birmingham Pullman set to leave at 13.00 for Paddington.
The 9F will follow as far as Tyseley Junction and take the North Warwickshire line to Cheltenham and onward across to South Wales.

Anyway back to the model railway story.............Christmas 1974
My Dad has realised that my model railway is getting a bit 'tired'
And I had nagged him that I wanted a bigger layout.
Mum had won her 'war' over my model aircraft and they were all gone, so I wanted something to replace them!
So Dad found out that my Super 4 track was no longer available and Hornby had moved on to System 6 track!
My Super 4 oval circuit has now become a System 6 oval with a passing loop with head shunt.

So all new track with the addition of three points and quite a few straights...........

So why the change of track system?
Basic answer is compatibility.
Tri-ang and Hornby were competitors between 1952 and 1964.
Their track systems were NEVER intended to be compatible.
Super 4 was Tri-ang's answer to Hornby Dublo's two rail track system in that competition.
It had to remain compatible with their earlier systems so the heavy rail profile was retained.
There was no intention to change their specification, in fact why should they as Super 4 was a good track system for its day.
Tri-ang won the competition between the competing brands, because Hornby Dublo were too expensive and following a damaging strike at the Liverpool factory Meccano sold Hornby Dublo to them in 1965.
It was therefore in Tri-ang's interest to keep their own Super 4 system going and stop production of Hornby Dublo 2 rail because all the tooling for it was at Binns Road.
Tri-ang however capitalised on the purchase by adopting the name Hornby, in the format "Tri-ang Hornby", because the name "Hornby" had been synonymous with OO gauge model railways in the perception of the public.
A good PR move!
To avoid alienating existing Hornby Dublo users however some adaptor pieces were made including a converter track, a Horse box van and an open wagon with Tri-ang and Hornby Dublo couplings on opposite ends.
With further development of the model railway market five years later the time was right to further upgrade the track system.
The Super 4 geometry was retained but rails reduced in profile to Code 100 which matched Peco, and other track systems.
In a move (in my opinion mistakenly) to improve the appearance the track was converted to HO scale much as Peco had done for some years with their Streamline.
HO and OO uses the same 16.5 mm gauge, but HO at 3.5mm to one foot scale provides that the sleepers are smaller and closer together.
Super 4 had used 4mm scale sleepers.
Like all such matters in model railways these result in a compromise that doesn't suit everybody.
My personal view is that System 6 was a backward step, by adopting HO scale for the sleepers.
The rail profile should have been changed, yes, but I think the Super 4 sleepers looked better and were correct for OO scale.
A 'remedy' is available, but it's fiddly and time consuming.

1976
A time of change for our family.
Dad is taking voluntary redundancy from the RAF, after a career spanning over 20 years.
It was also the year that Dad took an interest in my model railway and invested a great deal in a joint project with me.
We had chosen a plan and the track was purchased.

Sadly, the layout above was never built.
We moved house again.
My Dad went into serious study mode to qualify for his Civil Aviation Engineering Licences.
He started a new career as an instructor and never showed interest in the model railway again.
The 6' X 4' baseboard was not purchased, so I was stuck with all this track.
My schoolwork had intensified dramatically by the spring and I was enjoying my time in the ATC (Air Training Corps) learning to fly gliders!
But it wasn't the end of the dream...............

1979
I left school and started work.
With my own money coming in I started buying some locomotives and rolling stock and experimented with different layout designs with the track I had.
I concentrated on an end-to-end track plan with a terminus station.
The drawback was I still didn't have a baseboard to permanently fix the track to.

1980 - 1983
During this period I managed to mount an end-to-end layout onto a small table.
To save time I laid the track on a wargaming grass mat using track pins.
I painted the rail sides with a rust coloured paint and then ballasted the track sections.
The layout was decorated with model trees and shrubs and I used Hornby Diesel Motive Depot, Goods Shed and a Signal Box for buildings.
The layout was designed for single locomotive operation utilising the sidings and loop to showcase my loco and rolling stock.

During this period of time I amassed a few locomotives, which became a collection.
I bought some new and some second hand.
I concentrated on Diesel types as they were the ones I would see in everyday life, but I did have another steam engine - 'The Flying Scotsman'

General notes:- wheel diameters are quoted for new wheels
- prototype dimensions are quoted in imperial or metric units to align with their original specification where possible
| a | distance between midpoints of bogies (for B-B and Bo-Bo) or between centre axles for 3-axle bogies (please note that the points of this dimension may not be the same as the bogie pivot points – see relevant footnotes) |

Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, 0-6-0 represents the wheel arrangement of no leading wheels, six powered and coupled driving wheels on three axles and no trailing wheels.
This was the most common wheel arrangement used on both tender and tank locomotives in versions with both inside and outside cylinders.
In the United Kingdom, the Whyte notation of wheel arrangement was also often used for the classification of electric and diesel-electric locomotives with side-rod coupled driving wheels.
