Bulleid Light Pacifics on the S&D
Quintus commented on Barry Ten's blog entry in Barry Ten's S&D blog
34051 Winston Churchill must have been one of the last pacifics to work a regular service train over the S&D. They sent her up from Bournemouth as the booked class 4 had failed. Can't remember the date but certainly late 1965. I was a fireman at Templecombe at the time. -

Newton Heath Works, the Fletcher Jennings by the Foreman's office. The loco is a 7mm scale 3D print by EDM Models and runs on a Dapol B4 chassis.

Decay in a rural environment
Quintus commented on Jack Benson's blog entry in Stuff for Child Okeford - the Stour valley
Not a garage, but in the same vein at Bleanau Ffestiniog. Magic! Photos taken 2013 -
I have a Dapol 8750 with which I am very satisfied. Running is excellent on DC. I have changed the (rather short) whistle & shield with one from Warren Shephard, and added spare lamp irons on the running plate. If the smoke box plate is not required I would think it easy enough to remove and fill the resulting hole in the smoke box door. There are plenty of photos of panniers in GW livery with a smoke box door plate ( early BR), just depends on your chosen period. The Minerva 8750 looks very nice but has incorrect tank fillers.
