RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted June 9, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 9, 2019 Looking at Robin's wagon photos it saddens me that the RTR manufacturers do not produce a GWR 5 1/2 plank open or an LMS/BR 5 plank open with wrinkly tin ends but leave us with a generic 5 plank wagon that is not even a model of the LMS all wood, or the SR ones made for the LNER at the end of WW2. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulgabill Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Phil (Mallard) asked me to post this here, hope thats ok Rob. Its the WSRs 40th Aniversary special on Saturday evening. 2 Manors plus 14 coaches. ie 2 x 5 coach sets from the days service, plus the 4 Quantock Belle Diners. Pic was at Blue Anchor on the return trip, complete with some lady dressed in Edwardian(?) garb, including parasol. Good to see they can still put on a show, inspite of their impecunious state. Its the volounteers that do it, and they deserve our support. As long as they can avoid further bouts of the infighting that seems to have recurred over the years.
