Original Airfix 20t Brake Van kit built straight out of the box - bar handrails and replaced chimney.

33025 ‘Sultan’ runs around its train of vans at Frampton.

HST substitution set at 07:22 - with gen van and barrier coach at rear?

Bike gear cable is finer than bike brake cable…can be bent and negotiated with ease.

I was watching the attached video and noticed an odd - presumably - not ISO container. It appears to be Esso branded but not of a style I’ve seen before or remember from days of old…does anyone have any more details particularly what it was used for? A internet search drew a blank… Image source at 6:31…

if you contact the OP for the thread (Dan) they’ll be able to help you. Thats it for another year, home packed up and away. Frampton performed effortlessly for another year. A first for this year was an electrical short which whilst easily found, has posed questions as to why…and why now? A quick exhibition fix has remedied the problem👍🏼, although a longer term solution will be required. Thanks all for organising the show, see you next year.

Thanks Liddy…all ready for another day👍🏼

The wagon works is currently open in preparation for the weekend…

‘Class 37 loco 9Z09, 40 dogfish of ballast, ploughvan…’ 40?!….40 dogfish?!😳 Presumably thats not a single working and a trip of eg 10 x wagons, four times?

I’ve intentionally noted twice it’s indicative and a ‘guide’ and not wholly accurate…however in situations where there is an absence of any detailed guide or historical record then unless you want to take a wild punt, its there for your own personal use so fill your boots… I don’t need to ask it to anything thanks👍

In the absence of any records or original paint diagrams, it’s a useful tool to provide an indicative coloring. if you pushed the image through three different AI tools it’ll highlight the consistency and inconsistencies between the tools and provide a fairly reasonable representation.

AI comes up with these results…as an indicative guide…

Attended yesterday and given the quantity of cars in the field, it was ok…unless it rains. One thing to note however - the further you are directed to the back it gets quite bumpy so watch your front bumpers and underside trays. Also it’s evidently a dog walking field so watch your feet…
