montyburns56 Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 When I first came across this picture I thought it was for an advert for a driving school or something , but it turns out it was for a scene in a 1982 BBC comedy show called L For Lester starring Brian Murphy. Does anyone remember it? By Hugh Searle 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted December 30, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 30, 2021 What utterly wonderful photographs these are, thank you for bringing them to our attention. I think I am right in thinking that Derek Chaplin was known (by the late Peter Barnfield at least) as the "Welsh Wizard". He used to go around model railway shows with his friend the great Maurice Deane and they were both always good fun to talk to. Maurice very kindly gave me his few shots of Limpley Stoke station, happy memories. Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Andy Kirkham Posted January 1, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) Cinderford was an example of branch terminus topology perhaps more common in models than in real life, being served by two different branch lines under two different ownerships that diverged just beyond the station throat. When openened in 1900 it was served just by the Severn & Wye Joint line from Lydney (GW & MIdland). In 1908 a connection was put in from the GWR's Forest of Dean branch from Newnham. Cinderford was served by both banches until 1929 when the Severn & Wye passenger service was withdrawn.

The locos that worked there seldom saw the light of day, outside Stop Fortnight. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
