46444's Blog

I did 46467 a few years ago for another member at Ely.   There are a lot of pictures of it as I recall, but not many really sharp ones, at least not in the books I was looking at.

I've found a few snaps of 46467 on the Rail-Online website.

 

One in lined black and early crest. Another in unlined black with large late crest.

 

Funnily enough I've already done 46466 in the unlined black livery.

Not 46444 then Mark? 

 

Looks like a nice project to keep you busy when the bits land.
 

Good that it’s smooth running despite needing some cosmetic work.

 

Look forward to see it on the plank soon...

Hi Mark

You must have a few of these little beauties by now?

Thanks Pete

 

Not sure a other Ivatt was needed in 46444's Towers but always nice to reserrect a model that has had a tough life.

 

Should be quite straight forwards as well having done a few of these previously.

 

Another Cambridge one would be good but 46468 worked out of Oban on the Ballachulish line so a useful option to have. 

 

Sadly too wet in the West Riding for the plank today... 

 

Cheers,

Hi Jamie, 

 

Great to hear from you. 

 

Sussed. There's quite a few Ivatt 2-6-0's lurking here

 

That's a lovely shot of 46468. Looks like it's had the ER treatment with large crest and numbers before heading north to Oban.  I thought it was still lined so a good informative shot. 

 

I remember you did an unlined black version with Darlington 'Skinny Chimney' for Culreoch. Think they worked on the Port Road if my memory serves me correctly.

 

Nice to see the shots of the Ballachulish line. I've had a good look around what's left of Creagan Station and driven past it many a time.  I've also cycled what's left of the line. 

 

We've two weeks holiday booked near Appin on Loch Linnhe later in the year. Not looking good though. 

 

Think we certainly need one of those Caley Tank's announced in the future. 

 

Thanks once again. 

 

Mark

You can always cast a blind eye to it if, like me you prefer the mixed traffic livery.

 

Yes, I did 46479 from the same base model as you have here, it needs a makeover and that might be a good project for these times.

 

Hope you make it up to Appin in the end, the midges will be in need of a good feed ;-)
