There's only one more and a short shovel on the etch. It has a curve to it and I don't recall one being used on a pannier but I'll fit it so it don't offend. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted February 28, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) I’m fairly sure that this has been answered before in this thread. On page 80 of the OPC book on the Kingsbridge branch there is a photo of the bay platform in 1946 containing one or two vans. The rear of which has a very flat arc to the roof, I was hoping to confirm the diagram (I’ve included an extract of the photo below) the original was cited as being from the KAW collection, presumably that of the author Ken Williams. I don’t suppose anyone knows where the collection ended up? Edited February 28, 2021 by The Fatadder 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will drop them a line and try and confirm (once things are reopening). It wouldn’t be too difficult to drop the family at the beach and make a visit to the museum to view them in the summer. Given there was at least one 1940s photo in the collection in the aforementioned photo of the Kingsbridge bay, there’s got to be more... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
