Arun Quay is indeed an excellent layout, may I also recommend Tollesbury, another smallish O gauge layout set on a quay, but based in the marshes of Essex.

A few leftovers.

Since being banned from RMweb , Larry G has started a thread on coach builds here http://www.westernthunder.co.uk/index.php?threads/larrygs-carriage-wb-4mm-00.7469/

 

He has the guts to use a Hornby Collett brake third as a base for a K38 full brake. Could also do the K42 this way, I think.

Worth the entrance fee alone. It does need a pannier though.

 

 

I think you'll find a Terrier far outweighs a Pannier in terms of cuteness.

NER class E1 / LNER J72?

[Bulwell Hall]

The page number on which this post appears gives a good idea of which particular breed of pannier would be most appropriate!  But Arun Quay is such a stunning model it would be a shame to loose that 'Southern' atmosphere - perhaps a B4 would be suitable - Eling Wharf perhaps?.

I think most small engines would look great on such a magnificent layout and it also runs as well as it looks too. I believe it's at Railex this year.

I don't feel able to deny you this sentiment, old chap, given my track record with cute little J72s.

Equally, you are also speaking great wisdom, good sir, but nothing is as cute as a pannier.

 

But which is the cutest pannier of them all?

 

Mirror, mirror, on the Shed Foreman's wall,

Who is the cutest pannier of all?

Certainly I know of few B4s that offend.

 

Given the nature of this thread, though, are you sure it isn't an Ealing (Comedy) Wharf?

I think we should enquire whether Gordon & Maggie are planning on obtaining a Little Loco Co. Ruston 48DS, when they come out.

And the mirror answered " The little red one with Routemaster bus transfers".....

Be more worried, if I switch the safety off for the main gun..
