RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted March 20, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi all, The SWAG Members Day this year (29th April, 2018, Staplegrove Village Hall, more details to follow !!) is the 10th occurrence of this prestigious event. As part of the weekend's festivities, for some years we've been very kindly invited to the Taunton MRG premises at Bishops Lydeard Station to view their layouts. As many of you probably know, any member of their club has to provide a train, to be left on the layout for public viewing. As once-per-year guest members, we (the SWAG organising team) think it would be fitting it we offered to supply such a train, as a thank you for the hospitality & friendship. We've already had a donation of a superb loco, so we'd like to invite offers of donations of freight wagons it can pull. To ensure these are in keeping with the loco, please can these be pre 1948, and be 00 with tension locks. Should you wish to donate a wagon, please send them to me (PM for my address). Thanks The SWAG Team 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Brinkly Posted March 25, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2018 Evening Stubby, I've had a rummage around in my stock boxes and found two wagons, with tension lock couplings, which should fitting the bill. If I get 5 minutes, I'll try and fit a coal load in the pair. Kind regards, Nick. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter220950 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 The brake van was a Triang one I had before I turned to the O gauge dark side, so it's getting on a bit now, like me. The wagon was a Wrenn one that I found in the depths of the roof, it's hard to believe that I painted the brake van over 40 years ago, where did the time go!

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted May 1, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 1, 2018 Just to complete this topic. Last Saturday evening, during the visit to the Taunton MRG clubrooms, we presented the Chairman, David Buckley, with a box containing the RMweb freight train. This was well received and thanks were offered. So thanks to all the members (and Andy for the loco!) who gave wagons to make up the train. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
