    John, do you have a year for that catalogue?  The Romford Series V motor illustrated looks very much like the one in the scratchbuilt C1 I showed on the previous page.

     

     

     

     

    Regretably not Jonathan. I've searched cover to cover to no avail! I'm guessing 1969>1070 (?)

  2. This is a snap that I took of Wally White DVR boilersmith examining 1638 back in the 1970s. This engine is now with the K&ESR IIRC. In the background is either 6412 or 6430. At the time there was 6435 that was bought for spares and fortunately is wasn't ever dismantled and has been since restored elsewhere.

     

    Dear Wally was deaf as a post after a lifetime of noise hammering on the inside of boilers in the 'Factory' at Newton Abbot

    Fascinating to see how Buckfastleigh and Staverton used to be before all the track addition that we see today.

    A superb picture. thanks. A while ago I finally acquired a Bemo version of one of these after many years searching. Got it from a model shop in Florida! As I have some Bemo MOB coaches and a loco so an H0m layout beckons!

     

    I started planning an FO 0m layout and acquiring FAMA/UTZ and Golden Trains stock after visiting Disentis for a skiing holiday and buying various superb books on the line some 20 + years ago..

     

    Who knows, it might get started one day!

     

    I did start scratchbuilding an FO Deh 4/4II which I would really like to finish...who knows!
