RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted February 16, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 16, 2020 Every so often another picture of Queensbury shows up on the Queensbury lines facebook page. Interestingly the subject is a B1 with a toad E on the Keighley to Bradford line. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom one is a Q1 the top might be or an o4 difficult to tell at this distance. The last Q1 had the same splashier design as the o4s.

The bottom one does look like a Q1, The first picture at least looks as if the photographer couldn't get his camera out quick enough. I say that because most pictures of trains at Queensbury were taken head on. Most are N1s on the local passenger trains and J50s with pick up goods. Having said that it might be taken into account that the train in the first picture might not have been brought to a stop. There's pictures of J6s elsewhere on the line but I haven't seen one at Queensbury. One day I've promised myself to scratch build one!

Whoops, mea culpa. Usually use the gcr terms , it all changes when you go modern image after 1923. Satch i would speak to mr king about his resin cast one.

Not interrupting at all. This is what threads are all about!! Yes you're right! I always overlook the Q1 as being a tank engine. If you look at the two pictures long enough anyone would be forgiven for thinking it's the same locomotive. A little investigation is needed. I've seen the second picture before. In "The Queensbury Lines" by Alan Whitaker & Bob Cryer. Where the the caption reads: "A very unusual visitor to Queensbury station in early BR days was this O1 class 2-8-0 on a breakdown train". This picture shows the engine with "BRITISH RAILWAYS" on the tender. The photographer probably recorded the wheel arrangement correctly and it might well be a Gresley O1 by this time (1948-1952) reclassified as O3. Hard to tell. I'm sure we agree it's not a Thompson O1. Will make Manna happy if it is a Gresley O1!!! Regards Shaun Edit. If the photographer did indeed know his engines (Why else would anyone waste precious film on grubby trains) it would explain why it wasn't recorded as an O3!!!

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted February 17, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) Having made a good study of this picture IMO I would say that this is either an O4 or Q4. I would go with O4 judging by the boiler length. The foot plate is wrong for any other O class engine, the cab profile looks decisively Great Central and the reversing lever is what might clinch it. Still a bit confusing around the splasher area though. Edited February 18, 2020 by Sasquatch Turned slash into splash 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted February 17, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 17, 2020 Let's have a bit of fun shall we. O4 at the same location on the layout with a breakdown train similar to the one in the original Picture. This one is a Q6. Which looks more at home here... ...or here in technicolor. O4 entering Goathland with break van. The pic of the O4 again untouched. Quite nice lighting. Back to the modeling. Squatch. 7 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's BR period I believe, so I might consider a repaint into blood and custard. Only problem is W19 is standing in platform 7 and I've only modeled platforms 1-5! Now I'm wondering how long W19 worked in West Yorkshire. Thanks for posting Regards Shaun August 1952, so you might get away with chocolate & cream, but you’ll have to change the GWR roundel to the twin shields. You’ll also need to change the number as this is W20W. When I saw this photo I had to have it for 2 reasons as it combines my love of GWR and Bradford. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
manna Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 G'day Folks Looking at both of the pictures above. IMHO, the top one is a O4/4 ( rebuilt with a O2 boiler) the cab roof has a shallower curve, or a O4/7, the bottom one I think is a standard O4 ( thinner boiler) I like you model interpretations. manna 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The model pictures were fun to do. My big thing this year is to get Queensbury looking about right so I can take half decent pictures.

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted February 18, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 18, 2020 Last night I made the chimney breasts for the three longer platform buildings. This picture is just to show the guts of a building. I found it best to let the paint become touch dry before wiping it off gave the best results. Door muntings have been picked out in green. With my ginger buddy snuggled up in the styrene drawer. Picture of Brow lane bridge which shows the scribbed stone work to good effect. And lastly a train. That Q6 on Goathland again. 16 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
