Loriot P to diagram G42 built 1943-1945, (page 152), lot 1448, numbers 42354 - 68, load 25 tons (page 19).

Don't get me started again....

And found the uncropped image as well:

Somebody wanted to raise a stink?

Quite late to the party, and have nothing much to add to this topic, I think's it's been covered well enough. But very happy to have read it because I hadn't heard of the Alan Earnshaw book before. Will order that ASAP!

Yes, 1943 Eastern front...

Hi Chris. Probably not visible on my drawing because of the scale, but this is what the original door panelling looked like: Top and bottom of each panel is slightly rounded, and each corner has a small corner infill. The only doors I'm not sure about are the main front doors. I've drawn them with simple panelling, but they could have been more elaborate originally. But I like your doors, and I've seen them on several Cambrian buildings. BTW, great work on the station!

Now trying to be inconspicuous.

Illegal channel crossing......

I'm back....

Haven't been active on this thread for quite a while, my focus has been shifting towards the armour part of my username. But there will be a time when I'll pick up railway modelling again, and when that happens, Siphons, any Siphons, would be more than welcome. For me, first I would like 1,2,6 and 7, before replacing the already existing G's and H. But my ‘focused choice’ would be 7. I,ve spend this morning poring over my collection of Cambrian Coast line books, looking for Siphon's. They don't seem to have been very popular on the Cambrian. (or perhaps photo shy?) The only one I could positively identify was a Low 6 wheel Siphon, hence my choice of favourite.

Welcome Bas. And as a fellow dutchman I can tell you that the best place on the web for British outline modelling is RMweb. Have fun. Regards, Sierd Jan

Now here it get's interesting, because the model depicted was named after a British general who had a class of monitors named after him, but not this class. There is however a relationship (NPI) with some ships of the class of monitors build after the first mentioned class, as in that the guns that were used on some ships of that class came from a ship that didn't use the guns that were later used on the monitor that the model is going to depict. But the class itself was named after yet another British army bigwig affectionately called "Bobs". So Bob's your uncle.

My only interest is railway modelling. Look at that detail...

Whot? The Pannier?? I mean, during the war maintenance was substandard, but trees?
