Hando Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I'm intending to make this thread an interesting discussion page and a useful resource for anyone who wants to learn more about the original 3 foot gauge railway. Any information and material (i.e. dated photos, flyers, tickets etc.) is welcome. People who have built R&ER pre-1915 layouts in the past can also show the pictures of them here. Note: I might also consider making a thread for the early-(W.J. Bassett-Lowke) era L'al Ratty. Thanks, Alex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Dava Posted May 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 7, 2019 Nice thread. I built 'Irton Road' in 09 in the R&ER Heywood era, 1915-1922. I think the gallery is still accessible. I sold the layout and the unique Heywood stock which have sadly not been seen since. Thanks Mick. Dava 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have produced the 3plk open wagon but I had stop work on the rest as the loco drawing I had were mechanically floored so I couldn't go much further. I will have to get hold of this book as the drawings look alot better than the ones I have. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hando Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Why was Devon named so? Was she named after an investor or promoter of the line? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Not sure but the Duke of Devonshire did own a lot of the land in the area so might have had something to do with that Marc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
