That would have been good but you may get those who wouldn't get it and try to order causing a furor in the process and a page of back'n'forth...actually that would be even funnier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren’t quite sure if they were dodgy photoshop either, but since looked into it and can confirm they were very real. To our knowledge two wagons got the branding for a trial service for Shap Summit - Salford stone workings under DRS. Id also never doubt Tommy’s pedigree! If he saw it and snapped it then it’s real! Cheers! Fran Brilliant, Thank you Fran! I knew they were real but couldn't remember which freight flow they were going on trial for. I couldn't work out if it was one of the Settle & Carlisle flows to Drigg (which later used JNAs borrowed from GBRf) or the Shap - Salford workings. I have a feeling they may have from from the batch we once had in storage in Eastleigh Works - They rather rapidly filled the works up at one point with those and the ex Silverlink / London Midland 321s!

Flickr pic has auto embedded, click it for details of the working. 59003 has also taken them away, ex Eastleigh works.

MRDBLUE17 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 In the last few months I sold my N gauge versions of these. They were certainly on a like to have list in OO to go alongside the HTA’s and HHA’s so I was pleased to see this announcement. With the funds raised I’ve now been able to order a rake of 20 and watching videos of them through Carlisle there are nice mixed rakes with all brandings so the selection offered make this easy to create. Main issue will be building the big layout for them all to run. Cheers Mark 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although after watching a 56 on Railcam at Crewe there is one sound I think is missing for me from most locos and that is the sound of a driver walking over the ballast between cab doors when doing a run round a simple sound but one that could add a little something to and small layout or depot scene, just putting that out there. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I classed it as borrowing from my collection. The final repayment was a Bachmann 41272, which I sold in 1997 and just bought a replacement in 2017. Turned out to be an interest free loan, sold for c£34, replaced for the same. Edited December 24, 2020 by adb968008 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
