I think the word is ubiquitous!  All over the place although usually found at the bay platform buffers!  Even in my tinplate layout, I yearn for one instead of the horizontal twin Hornby version which I have never seen in reality.

"the horizontal twin Hornby version" which should be the triple version. Of course!

My votes this time are for 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.

Why did no 2 upset you?

[Limpley Stoker]

The Limpley Stoke committee have suggested:

 

1    Starfish

7.   Tool van

11 . Cordon

 

and would consider suitable:

 

13   Gane  A   ;   For 60’ track panels

 

All excellent siding fillers.

 

 

Thanks again Brian et. al.

It's nothing personal!

 

Too late for my time period - according to my combined volume.

And now a request for information - but don't go reading too much into it or start the rumour machine.  I am looking for drawings of a Coral A and the only one I have found so far is in GWR Wagons which is merely a side elevation so not including all the needed information.

 

And before you ask IT IS NOT for a model railway manufacturer but for a 12":1ft project. (and yes I do know there is one at Didcot but that doesn't provide all the needed information).

 

So any leads would be welcome thanks.

For no particular reason I wish to announce Spanniers. It is maybe because no pics are uploading from my steam powered Web this morning. Total arse is EE/Outreach at the moment.

No one would have a chance of abducting his pasty.

Hi Brian,

 

It's currently on the ELR running number 9580.  I've found and added it departmental number above KDW150266.

My photos of it on ELR in 2019.
