Il Grifone Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) As is pretty well known, the origins of these coaches was Tri-ang Railways, in 1961, to go with the then New R.354 "Lord of The Isles" 4-4-0 Dean Single.... So they WERE intended to be GWR coaches. Over the years they were also used as LNER (Teak Finish) with an LMS 3F 0-6-0T in LNER Apple Green Livery, LMS (Maroon), "red and cream" (But NOT the brake) for the Railway Children Set, bright red (ALMOST carmine, or suitable for a later Breakdown Train!) used in a train set with another LMS 3f 0-6-0T in lined black numbered 2021, in Black, and later Green, as an ED Engeneers Dept Coach (Brakes only...). I dare say there are others but my Ramsey's is not to hand (Dodgy memory used for the above! ) Funnily enough, the later Hornby Long Clerestory Coaches have also been liveried as Midland Railway caoches, to go with the Midland Compound! No Breakdown or ED liveries yet....Hornby are slipping! One of the red ones here as a breakdown riding/tool van http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/28222-dublo-layout/ These coaches are probably some of Tri-ang/Hornby's best sellers and some the oldest rolling stock models still (or until recently) available (I think the only other candidates are Tri-ang's LMS cattle truck, GWR horse box and the SR utility van and some items of Dublo origin in the Dapol range. (Some locos are still around but have suffered retooling to a greater or lesser degree.) (All could benefit from reissue to modern standards - some decent clerestories please!)

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted March 9, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 9, 2016 Looks like the result of a fire. A late friend once brought along 3 blobs melted onto a length of track. It was 3 wagons, with the track almost undamaged (apart from the blobs which flowed over the sleepers. But the rest of the sleepers weren't touched. It was a result of a fire in his garage. Many years ago our clubhouse burnt down, some items were stored in a metal cupboard. The plastic items had melted but some card buildings were completely unaffected.

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted March 11, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 11, 2016 Looks like one of the disasters that were once flogged on Ebay by an infamous seller now long since gone by the name of Aldo1080. He was the one flogging sealed untouched Dapol Deltic kits for thirty plus notes but his description(and the picture of a completed painted kit) failed to mention that all you were getting was a fivers worth of plastic bits in a bag... His weathering efforts included a Bachmann Class 37 which was basically so badly mucked up it looked like a dog turd on wheels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium kevinlms Posted March 13, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 13, 2016 Or a shed full of 03s...... When the Mainline Class 56 came out, the local shop made them $56 each (RRP was $59) and said to me, '56 for a 56'. I promptly asked him, how much for the 03s, he wasn't amused! I did buy a 56 though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody in the Far East (probably) has been banging these out for a while. Do they resemble any real railway carriage lamps?
