The line was built as a narrow gauge line by the Royal Engineers, around 1903, being relaid to standard gauge between 1905 & 1907. The railway was used until 1969 when, after an unsuccessful preservation attempt, the line was closed, and dismantled.

Invicta Model Rail has commissioned Bachmann Europe PLC to produce an LMR 20T Brake Van WD49027, in War Dept green, which we are now accepting advance orders on. Delivery is expected late in 2016.

JSpencer Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I actually prefer this to the coach. Much more useful with an LMR USA tank or J94 I feel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinTrucks Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Prototype photo http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/bluebell/e262d8ca6 Paul Do you have a date for when it was repainted blue at Longmoor? Also, how many of these were built for the military? Thanks, Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opelsi Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Know I would have preferred it in blue (though expect others will love the green) - maybe they will do blue livery too at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownsendHook Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I actually prefer this to the coach. Much more useful with an LMR USA tank or J94 I feel. Not sure about the USA but the Austerity tanks (NOT J94s because they were never owned by the LNER or BR) were the main motive power for LMR passenger services post-war.

TonyA Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Do you have a date for when it was repainted blue at Longmoor? Also, how many of these were built for the military? Thanks, Martin There were two of these vans at Longmoor, WD 49027 and WD 49028, and they were bought from Standard Railway Wagon in 1959. I understand that they were first painted blue in 1968. Having seen a sample at the shop, this is a very nice model and one was promptly ordered. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
