Tim V Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I am reminded that some years ago you (the OP) built a model of a halt 'as a scenic backdrop for photos', it looks like you've done it again! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A clever model of a prototype I had not been aware of. My edumacation continues! Ian, it's a beautifully constructed model from Mike's range (not by me, I hasten to add!) and works like a Swiss watch. Taken from the Judith Edge Kits site: LMS/BR Jackshaft drive 0-6-0DE This kit will build LMS 71OO-9 or BR 12023-32 and represents the final batch of ten single motor 350hp 0-6-0 diesel electric shunters built by the LMS at Derby in 1942. LMS 71OO9 were built to the same design but went to the War Department for service overseas, in the Middle East, Egypt and eventually Italy. The locos were originally painted black and all passed to British Railways in 1948. A few were painted BR green with yellow/black stripes in the 1960s and the last were withdrawn in 1967. https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/45248-judith-edge-kits/page/9/ Some lovely pictures of the Italian ones threequarters the way down the page.

My tatty 1961/2 Ian Allan ABC lists the 12xxx class, but I didn't see any. These are behemoths of a most attractive style, with many cues predicting the diesel shunter of later years, but technically a previous generation. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted October 9, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 9, 2020 I admit to having an early black 350, which I shouldn't have thought ever got to the Forest either, but I also don;t care! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn 708 Fascinating and confirmation of the organisation and structure behind the local trip workings at the time. It has been stated in the captions of one of the books on the FoD that there were sometimes only two locos in the Forest at any one time, one on the ex-S&Y section and one on the Bullo Pill to Cinderford section. I believe that on occasions one loco has had to be called in to rescue the other, when the latter got into trouble somewhere. It also seems (judging by Bristol Turn 706) that there was still at least one diagram based at Lydney shed at the time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
