Nearholmer Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 They made an/the 0-4-0ST. I haven’t got my LNWR spotters book to hand, but I have a feeling that there were no real 0-4-0ST of this kind, but that there were 0-4-2ST. The LMC model is quite easy to find, they sold a lot of them, many in sets with track and wagons. The Japanese company Seki/Sakai made copies of the LMC model for the British market too. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
montyburns56 Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 I've googled the LMC model and it does seem to be "inspired" by this loco.... I think the RM article may have been a kit build or a scratch build, although it could have been another publication. Anyway after googling it I've discovered that the real thing was a LNWR 1F 0-6-0 square saddle tank. http://www.lnwrs.org.uk/GoodsClassLocos/goods_class_menu.php?display_class_details=hsqs 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 This is the one I associate the LMC model with https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNWR_Dock_Tank#/media/File%3ACrewe_works_8_geograph-2224108.jpg The 0-6-0ST always looks to me like what would happen if you crept up very quietly behind a sleeping GWR Pannier Tank and shouted ‘Boo!’ very loudly. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERGE Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 With an arrangement like this could the loco take the bypass and not travel over the weighbridge and the wagons follow on the parallel route? The side step implies the chairs are in overlapping positions and are mounted on their own timbers. The side step would be greater if the chairs were mounted on the same timber. 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it tended to be used on ‘through running’ weighbridges, whereas many in small goods yards were on sidings, and locos had no need to traverse them, or they had big catches to hold the bridge against the weight of a loco. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

montyburns56 Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 The first coach caught my attention as it looks anachronistic even for the 1930s. Caption says it's a 40ft luggage van.

Mol_PMB Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 One of those rare inside-cylinder, inside valve gear 0-4-0Ts. Where did they put all the gubbins? The firebox is set well back to give space for a crank axle and eccentrics, but even then there’s little space for the cylinders and slidebars to clear the leading axle. Unless it was a geared drive as used on some true cranes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS2968 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 No, there's space there if you look for it. The cylinders would be below the smokebox with the slidebars extending back above the leading axle. I suspect they're large bore cylinders but with a short stroke, giving a few more inches for the connecting rods. The valve gear might be a bit of a squeeze depending on what sort it is. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearholmer Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 The astonishing thing about the NLR is that some of its trains looked pretty much exactly like that from about 1880 until 1940 (latterly with Jinties up-front). There can’t have been many railways outside The Isle of Man and the Volks Electric which got stuck in time warps for longer. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
