RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted September 18, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 18, 2021 After an hour or so this afternoon she is starting to look the part, a few hatch door handles to add and then she nearly ready for a first coat of primer. The top two steps each side have been made from scratch as not included in the kit neither is the air tank I've added under the bufferbeam leaving a gap in the middle for the NEM coupling. 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to complete the visit's interesting items my dad bought an evening 'paper from an old chap selling them in the town and that 'paper seller would fairly certainly have been a certain Frederick Fleet who sold 'papers in Southampton after leaving a life at sea. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A similar story from me too, but they were 08' or 09's (?) for me. I still have a few family members there, one of whom used to own the *"Duke of Wellington in Shirley High Street", I seem to remember the bar top had sixpences inlaid into it. His dad used to own the chippy opposite Vospers too. Happy distant days. * Fake news see below...

It's bar top used to be covered in pennies. There are also the Wellington Arms and the Duchess of Wellington, both near Shirley Road/High St. This is the Duke (of Boots, as it's known by some) in '85.
