On friday my former LMS crab returned from the Severnside Works paintshop for a test run up the main line. Formerly 2798 it has re-emerged as BR 42763. Here are some before and after photos.

The Hawksworth coach is a modified Hornby with drop in P4 wheelsets and has been weathered for it's owner, Morgan, by Gerry Beale.

 

Another visitor was a Gresley RB dia 167 in BR rebuilt form which Morgan has started to build for the Bradford train.

And finally a shot of the trackwork now complete under the coaling tower

The crab is still looking very clean Robin! Good to see the track progressing. Presumably the roof was left off the coach ready for coaling !!

Hi John,

The Crab has yet to pay a visit to the paintshop for weathering........after running under the coaler I suppose we could put the restaurant car on a train to the North East and have a case of 'coals to Newcastle'.

Robin,

 

The Crab is looking very nice indeed in BR livery - looking forward to seeing it weathered.

Good to see further progress with the track, as well.

 

Dave.
