It was nice to meet you yesterday Robin.

 

The last picture is very realistic, the lower angle makes a big difference .

I've gone all weird, not only have I started a thread topic, it's not GWR, it's not 7mm and its definitely a bit left field !

 

So if you want a larf ......

There's some incredibly fast work gone on up there /\ /\ /\   

 

Kirby Hall passes the trainspotter and there's two tracks of about 8 wagons in the back ground.

 

By the time Kirby passes the running in board, 7 x 5 plankers have appeared on the far road.

 

That's fast shunting!

Sorry, some of us are on networks that block Facebook as a security risk. Was it good?

Nah, it's only an ex-GWR loco.

The casual observer might think that GWR and LNER had some parallels. After all, unlike LMS and Southern, they each had lots of green locos which bore a distinct family likeness, if varying proportions.

 

EDIT : Locos not loos!

Hall class 5993 Kirby Hall continues east with it's milk tankers whilst 4575 class 5551 adds a SR van to the B set for the journey down the branch to Kingsbridge.

Erm, the Southern also had lots of green Locos that bore a distinct family likeness.

Rob I presume you already know about the Locomotion Models limited edition 94xx no 9400 in G W R unlined green, which according to the Bachmann Times is being developed alongside the three standard releases. Any use on ANTB?

Yes, I saw it at Warley and last week at Stafford. Highly unlikely for '47 but I'm planning on a black 9487 for my '57 period. Newton allocated and used on the Ivybridge goods.

Hi Rob,

It probably serves me right for not reading every one of your posts, but I didn't know you were planning a '57 version of the layout?

If you do then you are getting nearer to my favourite '62 time frame?

 

How do you plan to mark the later timeframe on the scenic etc., or are you just going to change the locos and stock and use Rule 1 to "ignore " the inconsistencies?

I know my '62 and '92 timeframes are easier to deal with because I haven't got station platforms and I can use colour lights except for the Wycombe branch, and the signals there I plan to change when I change eras. However you have a lot of '30s infrastructure so I will be interested to see (and learn from) how you deal with the changeover!

 

Best regards

Paul

Yes, I've been doing that since day one. Here's early crest Castle class 5049 on the down Royal Duchy for example.

Just needs a load of water around the rails and it would be very topical!
