Glad you are ok. Can we have more of Rothesay? I have just bought Bill Hoole's biography and he was the driver in 1947 ? leaving Edinburgh on the up fast and Rothesay derailed the rear axle of the front bogie in short tunnel at 70mph and went 110 metres destroying track the eventually engine turned on its side and under a bridge and he survived, the poor fireman didn't. 11-on, no passengers killed. In any event I am having a Thompson craze. I know that Duke of Rothesay did derail and overturn in the late 40s, but it was down in the London suburbs. There are photos of the aftermath. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardean got 4 votes to Wemyss Bay tanks 3...... but as Clive has been making the rules ever more flexible, what if I was to say that Graham's suggestion of the lovely Pickersgill 4.4.0s won, on account of the fact that the photo he put up got 5 likes? No? Oh alright then. To the dry side today, and the North British Railway. I wonder what Clive can dream up this time? For today's nomination I have selected LNER No. 9875 a class H Atlantic. It was going to be preserved but sadly in WW2 it was scrapped. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2750Papyrus Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Another vote for 9875 Midlothian. A long time ago, I bought a model which had been assembled and primed, but never painted. When I'm feeling brave enough, it will be my first attempt at painting and lining a loco. What to do about applying the name, though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicky Pedia :- On 17 July 1948, locomotive No. 60508 Duke of Rothesay was hauling a passenger train when it became derailed inside Barnet Tunnel, Hertfordshire due to a combination of faulty track and excessive speed. The whole train was subsequently derailed on points at New Southgate, London. One person was killed. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Bell Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Ordinarily I would go with the Atlantic every time but just to be different I will go with Drummond's Class R 4-4-0T, what became D51 in LNER days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are Hornby CR coaches from a limited edition set which included CR123 and a further coach. They are of course hopelessly inaccurate but the livery is well done. I plan to remove the mk1 ends and bogies and replace them and they need an interior too. It is a task a long way down on the to do list! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I know of somebody (not me) who is proposing to build a model of a Reid Atlantic using a suitably altered resin B3 boiler and one or two of the fittings, so if you really want one and cannot get hold of the classic whitemetal kit, you know what to do... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
