RMweb Premium maq1988 Posted January 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) 'Tanks' for the update! It'll be good to have a tank rake. The yellow of the Shell tank certainly stands out between the sea of black. Edited January 20, 2021 by maq1988 Y for y? Why, because Y should be y!

Michael Hodgson Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 All these wagons with pristine paint jobs make it look like a 12" to 4mm scale model of a OO model railway! Do Humbrol not do weathering paints in 5 gallon tins? Grand job you're doing, or at least when you're allowed to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Has the Quorn group seen Heritage Railways this month I wonder? On p13 there is a pic of a lovely Saxa Salt wagon restored in the 1980s, along with a present day pic. The latter shows it in a woeful weathered condition, and up for sale. It is located at the Cholsey & Wallingford Railway. I 'd like to think it would make a good addition to your rake of wagons? Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart That wagon was one of 3 which were advised as being for disposal at the C&W on the National Preservation Forum before Christmas. If it had been in somewhat better condition, then it could well have been of interest to another preservation site, but that is going to take an awful lot of money to restore judging by the photo linked to from the NP announcement. It looks like it has a wooden underframe as well, which won't help. This is the link that was posted there.. https://twitter.com/CWRailway/status/1337653508372389889?s=20 "Weathered" is something of an understatement! Quite a distinctive vehicle - I've still got my Hornby Dublo one....... Edited January 21, 2021 by Johann Marsbar added link 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted January 21, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2021 It just goes to show that preservation isn't the perfect ending sometimes. Mike. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wagons at the GC are amazing. We are lucky to be able to see such variety. What did the guard use for illumination inside the brakevan? I'm thinking of the period 1970's to the end of unfitted traffic. The journal would need to be filled in regardless of time of day etc and numbers of wagon to be cut out during the journey would have to be identified. Keep up the good work. I hope to be able to visit the GC and other railways before too long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, our LMS brake has a handy bracket fitted to the wall next to the desk to hang the lamp from its side handle. @Quorn Wagon should be able to give you more detail though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quorn Wagon Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) Just going to post these images, the stove gives off light also. Towards the end of brake van use the paraffin lamp would give way to the electric bardic. Edited January 26, 2021 by Quorn Wagon 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
