Chuffer Davies Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 It really is such a useful photo, any clue on what the piles of sleepers were for? Surely they indicate where the uncoupling magnets are installed! As a newcomer to this thread just like to say how much I’m enjoying it.

RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted October 9, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 9, 2018 A Nod to Bream? All to scale though and everyfin in its rightful plaice. I can sea the Dorsal shut on the coach behind so Mike had better stop doing the conger and get his skates on if eel is to get the luggage loaded. Cod only knows where the day goes. He barely has time to hake a break. No good carping on about it though. Rob You’re getting to be a haddock with me - no - that’s pollocks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Bridge Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Best I can offer that is scanned.Bfrent 4944.jpgA bit early for your time frame but full of detailbrent West.jpgMike WiltshireWhat an iconic picture, can any of you guys with encyclopaedic knowledge of things GW run through the identities of the two trains? Is the Express an early Saint? The goods engine must be a Dean, and the first three wagons have different brakes. Also the patina on the van next to the Toad is fascinating Thanks for posting it Mike. Ash 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash That photo appears on page 31 of "The Great Western in South Devon" book by Beck and Copsey (WSP) and the accompanying text is : "An Up Ocean Mails express,behind an unidentified 'Saint' class engine, passing a short Down goods train in the charge of a Dean '2301' class 0-6-0 (probably the 'Pick-up') at the western approaches to Brent" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuffer Davies Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Now I realise you're one of the guys behind one of my all time favourite layouts " Hungerford" you have added kudos. http://www.shipleymrs.org.uk/hungerford.php Guilty as charged. I’m delighted you like our Hungerford layout. Unfortunately being based in Yorkshire I was unable to drum up enough interest amongst colleagues to build another GW layout to replace it. I’m now involved in building a model of a GN station local to where I live but I enjoy winding up my colleagues with a suggestion that the GN models I’m building are being built in the spirit of Swindon and may appear with copper cap chimneys. Hopefully I will still find time to build an occassional GW model for Hungerford. I still have a couple of unbuilt Finney and Mitchell kits in the drawer.

RMweb Gold 88C Posted October 10, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 10, 2018 May I also add that I was also very impressed by Hungerford when I saw it a few years ago, at Quorn I think. It has proper engines! Brian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
