Oh I remember you're the chap whose built this Little Muddle whatsit, well could you submit your request for an exemption to the committee and we will rule upon its merits at the meeting next June. We're far too busy critiquing to entertain these requests which come without regard to the due process ........... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the Not Common User plate carried on goods wagons signifying that these where for use by the GWR and no one else. From what I can glean this applied to most of the vacuum fitted ones only. I think (if I remember rightly) it was all vac fitted stock and any "specialist" vehicles, e.g. cattle wagons, bolsters, pollens etc that were non-pool vehicles. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always start purchasing Cambrian/Parkside LMS and LNER opens. I have a few of those by Ratio and Parkside, but they both represent a similar wagon. If you want a bit of variation by adding earlier wagons, flats, three and four plank versions, or long wheelbase wagons, you have to go hunting amongst the secondhand market. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted July 31, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Ambling down the line, Mogul 5355 progresses with the morning freight train. Tony & Tommy up early to watch the progress, mind you they also seem to be up early and watching...... Original picture Then I thought... This looks better cropped to pull closer. So two pictures for the price of one!!! Edited March 25 by KNP 33 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
