Chris M Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I’m one loco short of a full set of liveries! This thread has provided very useful information. Maybe I’ll get the yellow buffer beam version in the new year. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’ll get the yellow buffer beam version in the new year. Nice work on the Mount Pleasant Inn, very nice. Recognisable to me Chris. Now when I were a lad, there used to be a pill box with a marvellous view of the Exe Estuary, just below the chalets at Oak Cliff. Used to scramble down to it while my parents walked down the road to the Warren. Are you going to model the station footbridge ? (The metal lattice one removed in the mid to late 70s - not the red brick and cast iron one which still links the car park to the sea wall walk up to the Langstone Rock). No holiday at the Warren was complete until Dawlish Warren railway museum, and model railway had been visited( in the old up side station building). Loved Dawlish back then. In the summer, sitting at the Beach Hotel, (letting rooms, nowhere near as grand as it sounded) there would sometimes be a down train creeping round under cautions from the Warren, to Dawlish outer Home, and a train pulling out, down to the west. Lots of freight too, including the Milks, always a personal favourite. Good modelling sir.

Russell Saxton Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) D1001 had the red circle moved to the bodyside when it had the data panel applied, i don't know how common that was. UPDATE I think it's actually where the shedplate was removed. I shall look further. Edited March 8, 2021 by Russell Saxton update 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris M Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I think it just closed in the 1980s. The building was destroyed by fire some years later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
