Schooner Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) Tender Locos GWR 4000 Star - specials: Royal train, Pullman service (even if GWR considered their own carriage quite luxurious enough, thank you very much...) 4002 Evening Star at Exeter, 1910 - part of the first batch, 1907 4011 Knight of the Garter, part of 1908's second 'Knight' production run...4014 Knight of the Bath would be an obvious choice. http://www.mikeysoft.co.uk/davidgeen.co.uk/catalogue/mitchelldesign.htm http://www.goldenagemodels.net/gwr-locomotives-star-class-oo-gauge.html http://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/66900/R3864-Hornby-Star-Class-4-6-0-Steam-Locomotive-number-4003 2900 Saint - named express It would be nice to have a prototype, 4-4-2 and 4-6-0 as it describes the development of these locos (and really of British locomotive development) in shorthand: Photographed in 1902, she would remain numbered 100 for my proposed time period. Heaps angular - looks like a trial run! 190 was the last of the initial 'Scott' series. All were converted to 4-6-0 by 1913, but could very reasonably be 4-4-2s - she'd be a nice one to have on semi-fasts. From the third 'Saint' batch comes 2915 Saint Bartholomew, captured on a Torquay up near Hayes about 1910. This is nicely representative of what I'm aiming for on the Devon layout, and I'd really appreciate any information about train formation. 3800 County - semi-fast and regional express 3700 City - semi-fast and regional express 3201 Stella 3031 Dean Single 3252 Duke 3300 Bulldog 3232 Class http://www.brassmasters.co.uk/gwr_3232_2-4-0.htm 388 Amstrong Goods 2301 Dean Goods 2800 LSWR http://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/66899/R3863-Hornby-Class-T9-4-4-0-Steam-Locomotive-number-120-LSWR https://www.ooworks.co.uk/about SDJR Tank locos GWR ...I'm not brave enough to tackle this just yet! TLDR for when there's something to read: Many saddle tanks, some side tanks, and a very very few panniers. (1490 is a given - the GW's first pannier and one-time Bath station pilot. Others will have to earn their place on an individual basis. They just scream '30s BLT and I'm ticking off enough clichés as it is!).
