A 9f at Diddington

One of the feauture of the railways in the Fenland were the numerous timber bridges, built by the Great Eastern Railway. In reality they were fairly rickety affairs, often with severe weight restrictions, and caused the Railway Inspectorate to despair.

We modellers run things over them that would probably have resulted in their immediate collapse in real life. Here is a case in point. 46444 brought his Bachmann 9f round last night, so we took a few pictures of it on the bridge at Diddington. Here they are.

92106 was a Kettering based 9f. it appears to have got lost and ended up at Diddington.

No wonder the fireman(?)'s out the window - watching for the bridge cracking!

 

Beautiful model, really captures the bulk of the 9F.
