New Farish loco's announcement

Not so much a modeling update, but goods news. With the release of the Farish production list for 2011, I thought I'd better check on the loco numbers of the proposed Std 5MT. A quick search promptly told me that 372-725 5MT 73068 was sheded at Bath Green Park, 71G, and it was its last before being removed and scrapped. I then did a quick flick through some Ivo Peters books, hoping to find a photo of said loco. It then dawned on me that I had purchased a 35mm slide on eBay several years ago of a 5MT passing through Sturminster. I dug it up, and as luck would have it, it is 73068. Definitely one loco I won't have to re-number.

You can include 73052 but that will require a renumber - perhaps 73158 is a good start? Only two to change...

But the original 3 5MT's on the S&D, 73050-2, all had BR1G tenders, same as the 9F's, for working the Pines. They needed to extra water capacity. anyone got a spare tender top of a redundant Dapol 9F.

I've got two spare tender tops from Britannias, and I think they're 1G tenders. They don't have ladders or handrails though, because they're the ones that come when you buy a chassis. Let me know if you'd like one.

I'll send one down to my parents - you can pick it up from there when you are in Brisvegas in April.
