RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted December 1, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) It would be an ideal commission product for a retailer. Maybe just my impression, but I think most of the blue/grey portholes were brakes. Looked up Jenkinson/Essery last night. According to one of the photo captions, all blue/grey portholes were indeed brakes and of one particular diagram. Not sure if the Bachmann model is the right diagram. Will check. Edit: Just checked - and it is. Edited December 1, 2017 by Joseph_Pestell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When is shap out next or do you have plans to go exhibit it in the north west. Mark Hi Mark, Next exhibition will be Leeds October 2018 - they're planning a 1968 end of steam theme so I think the layout as exhibited at Warley fits in with that. Not too far away if you're north west based? Will also exhibit at Hartlepool 2019. Also handed out layout leaflet at Warley to show managers for Glasgow, York and Manchester so hopefully something will come of those in due course. Keep watching the signature of my posts; I'll post show dates there when they're definite bookings. Always fancied a crack at 44767 in 4mm scale so, all being well, she should feature one day. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz Baz I thought that I remembered seeing some, or at least pictures of. But I don't trust my memory much these days! I had not noticed the CK on the layout. Strange that Bachmann have not done them in BR Maroon which, I think, might have been more popular than "blood and custard". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that exhibition managers will be a problem! This is almost the perfect exhibition layout - not too big, good viewing angles for tall and small, diesel and steam, and a well-known subject that most will at least have seen photos of.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted December 1, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) Bit of info here Red Leader and Co. Here is a list of LMS/BRMR Coach Diagrams (Periods 1/2/3) not available from Comet, Bedford or Worsley Works (yet......?) I can not guarantee it is 100% correct, however I think it is indicative. As I know bu##er all about LMS stock, I accept no responsibility for any carp in the information below. BTK 1712/1758/1852/1963 BCK 1759 FK 1747/1909 RFO 1722 FO 1917 CO 1744/1862 CK 1752/1898 TK 1756/1860 Sleeper 1739/1863/2169. Now there may be Diagrams here that are identical on the outside to available Diagrams but ICBA to check that as it is so bl##dy tedious. I may have missed one or two that actually do exist RTF becsue my head was tired last evening when I did this. I've no idea if any RTR LMS coaches fill any of these gaps? I know Geoff Brewin was working, before he died, on a simple Comet sides with Dapol Kits package to produce a simple, scratch build coach; that might allow some of the above to be completed using existing sides if the UFs were different? I don't know if this is the case without digging out his rough notes on the subject. The FO and CO were often used in Dining Sets + RFO. (See Jenkinson); these then maybe worth looking into for new productions? It is my thinking that train formations may not indicate the Diagram required and so, as there are dozens of other options already available for these Diagrams (e.g. BCK, CK) then maybe these missing items are just not needed. Having said that there may be a 'glaring ommission' and if anyone can spot that then let Mr Hartshorne know as he may be interested. Note that ICBA to have checked the NC/Suburban stock Most of these Diagrams had gone before '67 but I know this layout is probably going to display varying eras and that's why I have done this. There ends the sermon for today and I hope this maybe useful. One person that will know a heap about LMS coaches and all the little details, is Larry G and his advice will be invaluable I'm sure.

Philth I have certainly noticed the absence of some sleeper diagrams as models. Of course, the LMS did us modellers no favours at all by having five different "standard" lengths (six if you count the 12-wheel stock, seven if you count kitchens & full brakes). Strangely, the situation may be slightly better in N than 4mm as Etched Pixels/Ultima have done quite a few "oddities". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted December 1, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2017 On Robert Carol's BR Coaching Stock Yahoo Group there was a list of pre nationalisation coaches that were painted blue-grey. One slight problem today Yahoo is saying "Sorry, an error occurred while loading the content." It is now working. The file was written by Natalie Jones and from the file. At least 59 LMS coaches were repainted, the majority of these being sleeping coaches, someof which remained in service until the early 1970s. At least 8 BSK’s were repainted along with two SKs and at least one SO and CK. Nat goes on to list the coaches as have been recorded.

RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted December 2, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) One of the reasons this thread is so interesting to me is that I had a holiday with four railway enthusiast friends in July 1974. We stayed in one of the ex-railwaymans' cottages at Scout Green. One of the excursions was a late night visit to Carlisle where I well recall there being an ex-LMS sleeper in one of the overnight trains. Reason it is so memorable was that there was a lot of terrorist activity at the time and we got questioned by Plod as to why we were looking so closely at the underframe. Edit to add: The cottages at Scout Green, a Lancaster & Carlisle Rly design are identical to those on the layout opposite the summit box on the layout. It's only in reading this thread that I have noticed a remarkable coincidence. All of us on that 1974 trip were founder members of the 916 Club and the summit is at 916ft above sea level. But the club name is a reference to V class loco 30916, Whitgift. Edited December 3, 2017 by Joseph_Pestell 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
banburysaint Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Lovely layout.
