Not so, I'm reliably informed by my Farmer son in law, that sheep are born with just one instinct. To bring about their own demise. Possibly has a bearing on his being a dairy farmer. Mind you his son has just funded his 1st NEW loco from the sale of his lambs this year. All the best, stay safe TONY 6 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post gwrrob Posted June 8, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2020 As @2ManySpams correctly pointed out I needed to put a railway boundary fence on the scenic part of the embankment. So a start has been made although I still await the fencing and various scenic materials to finish it. For the base for scenic I use the meadow sheets , seen here from Green Scene, but others do them in a variety of colours nowadays. This is only a base as I will cover it in a multitude of products to finish it. Soaked in pva/water , it moulds itself to the angled surfaces well. I've drilled the holes at 20mm spacing for the fence posts from Ratio. Whilst I had the camera out I took some of my old Wills kit built barn and gate, that must be over 20 years old now , built for a previous layout,that are by the position of the new boundary. Trees have been removed for better access as can be seen by the stalk and screw fittings stuck up. I plan to use Woodland ScenicS course turf/ foliage and Heki Flor when/if I can get some. 27 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a photo somewhere, (can't instantly recall where, but I will post it when the grey cells come up with the answer!) of a goods yard with several toads in it some one way round , some the other. Thus there was probably more "wrong way round" working of toads than modelling convention suggests? It is also worth remembering that the LSWR had a number of single ended brake vans, although admittedly some of them had double side doors so could be used as road vans, Some of them lasted, particularly on the IOW and as departmental stock, well into the 1950s.

When first completed it was a four coach set with another CK. In the mid '30s the composite was removed and was used on Waterloo- Weymouth, Waterloo- Plymouth services. In 1945 the set became five coaches with the addition of a CK and TK. Again used on services in the west but by 1947 was being used on Waterloo- Salisbury and Waterloo- Southampton. Also in '47 the set was increased to six coaches which included a restaurant coach and open third but by '48 it was back to the three coach set of BTK CK BTK. As can be seen it's a bit of a stretch to have it running through Brent unless it was diverted from the Waterloo- Plymouth service. 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does raise the question, which is the wrong way round? I don't know where I got it from, but I understood that the GWR didn't go to the expense of duplicating doors etc, when the guard only needed a good view of his train. i.e. veranda forwards. Of couse that implies that somebody at Swindon didn't think the problem through. So I would understand if you were to say, that can't be right.

C or D normally, could be H if it's all unfitted or the train diagrammed as unfitted. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
