2750Papyrus Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I hope the St Johns team were on hand to revive the poor woman after that incident? Rob, Argyle were sh1te so no beer next season sadly. OK. Prototype fact........ Spams, and unrebuilt ones in particular, sounded like old fashioned bog cisterns refilling when they were standing and with the Injectors running. If a DCC Sound Chip for a 'Spam' does not replicate that then it is carp. Philth. Sounds fishy..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted May 30, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 30, 2016 Thanks Rob, I don't know how I missed TMS / Chris, I've met him several times, and he only lives down the Road from me, hahah, Sorry Chris. need to go to SS in the morning. No good seeing me, I will be on a train back to a green and pleasant land in the morning, my annual pilgrimage to Railex and beer sampling being over for another year.

RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted May 31, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 31, 2016 That looks very nice indeed. The black goes well with the B & C. Phil A blue King would go very well with B&C coaches as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted May 31, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 31, 2016 Actually, Robin, I really don't mind. I know you'll do a good job, too. Just don't give the job to Grahame! I really like the look of the lined BR black with the crimson & cream coaches, always a favourite livery combination for me (sorry Brian in USA!). For the avoidance of doubt, my "Agree" referred to the livery combination, not to bgman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted May 31, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 31, 2016 How quaint to put oil lamps on the front of a Bulleid - no need, it has electric lamps!, possibly Southern Electric lamps? ... okay I've gone too far. Glenn The electric lamps were only used during the hour of darkness, hence the Southern using headsignal disks (or lamps occasionally) during daylight hours even on those locos fitted with electric lamps. I added the lamps to 21C149 showing the express passenger code although some of the crew familisation turns were on a local stopping passenger so a single lamp in the top position would also have been suitable.

DSCN8542.jpg DSCN8549.jpg DSCN8550.jpg DSCN8551.jpg I'm glad the SR driver has learned the route, and it's good to see a Swindon product again : as has been said before- everything looks good in your setting of Brent - even a black Hall, and the visiting B o B which was beautifully weathered.

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted May 31, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 31, 2016 The black hall would of course look a lot better with no lining and G W R on the tender however... I'm sure the Capt. Won't notice when he gets it back... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenL Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 You would think so, but I know I've seen at least one photo where that wasn't the case (of course I can't for the life of me find it....) I think there's a photo of this in the Part 1 of Ian Sixsmith's Book of the Hall 4-6-0s - it's my justification for getting a Grange put into wartime black but with an unplated window. I suspect this was a fairly common sight in 46-47 as window plates seem to have been removed quite quickly while repaints would have taken longer to come around. It's obviously hard to tell green from black in a lot of photos from the period, especially under the usual grime. If I've got the right book in mind, I think Ian Sixsmith must have worked out that the Hall was still in wartime black from its service record.

DSCN8527.jpg Someone appears to have put that Hall in LNWR livery! (that nice Mr Collett would throw a wobbly) ... what?, 'British Railways'?, no, never heard of such a thing. Seriously (for Brent!), it looks good but it doesn't look right, not to my eyes anyway. GW 4-6-0s are supposed to be green!
