There’s a rather nice photo of the Kingsbridge coal wagon in an early newsletter by the Great Western Study Group. Researched by Steve Manchip , maybe @RapidoCorbs could do it for us in their range.

 

Further to this info John @checkrail I've tracked down the issue it was in and there's also a rather nice photo of Kingsbridge yard on the cover.😎

A bump for this thread to mention that according to their advert in the April issue of BRM, these are arriving soon. It's a shame they're not at Ally Pally to ask more in person.

 

According to Rail's we might see these in a May/June release.

I've managed to find who was in charge of VAR at Wembley yesterday. He'd obviously forgot it was Mark Robins who saved his job back in the 90s.

Thought Maguire's first action after winning in going to speak to the Coventry players was splendid and the mark of a true sportsman 👍 he has something of Duncan Edwards about him ...................................

 

 

VAR took away one of the greatest moments of my life yesterday and I'm still convinced Wright is level in those stills shewn online. I agree with the class shewn by Maguire, not so much by Anthony mind.

Not sure what I think of the Spam in yet another strange livery but better than it not being preserved.

To misquote the late great Cyril Freezer, a spam in bright pink with yellow spots livery is still a spam.

Any evidence for that rather silly assertion ?

 

Southern models (pre-grouping, grouping and British Railways are extremely popular, only Hornby seem to have gone off them.

No hardship, we’ve seen their black five so maybe not a bad thing letting someone else do some Southern stuff.

Robin @gwrrob, please tell us more about the Kingsbridge coal wagon. It's a new one on me.

 

John.

 

Certainly John @checkrail although my photos were lost in the RMweb crash. POWsides do a six plank wagon , Beer and Co. of Kingsbridge, a local coal merchant with the option of two running numbers [No1 and 2 ] in both transfers and kit. There's a very nice advert somewhere .

I'm really torn between placing an order for a couple of them, or buying 4 pre lettered kits from POW sides.   They do look rather nice!

POWsides have a long waiting list at the moment, not a great service.
