NEW SECR COMPANION INCLUDED AS PART OF A BR LATE-CREST SOUTHERN REGION TRIO

Introducing my newest addition to the collection, a N class 2-6-0 representing the South Eastern and Chatham contingent, albeit built after grouping.
My late gran spent a brief time as a nurse in Greenwich in the late 50s.
I bought Bachmann's 31843 several years ago because it features a standard 4 chimney and wanted to re-number it as the preserved 31874, as it had the same chimney fitted as part of a front-end overhaul during the late 50s.
Moreover 31874 was based at Bricklayers Arms during that time

Alongside 31843 are M7 30031, the LSWR contingent, and A1X Terrier 32678, the LBSCR contingent.

 

These locos were bought several years ago before the introduction and announcement of more pre-grouping models:
- Adams Radial, Beattie Well Tank, 700, 02 and forthcoming B4 classes for LSWR,
- E4 and forthcoming H1/H2 and new-tooling Terriers for the LBSCR,
- C, H and P classes for the SECR

 

However I've no reason to revise my mini-collection in the light of these developments.
