Hence now on the airwaves of South Devon we hear the strains ( not literally of course) of....“.Ahsole Mio”. r Always will be "just one Cornetto" to me. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slow-setting glue on Charlie's boots was really just a prank. But Charlie was not one to make a fuss, and after 7 years everyone back in camp had forgotten about him anyway. 1 3 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post gwrrob Posted September 6, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2020 Always inspired by the work of this threads wagon guru @46444 currently a nice weekend project is on the bench. Dapol wagon bodies are cheap as chips and put under the re-released Ratio GWR/RCH 10' chassis , now under Peco/Parkside PC560 , they make up into a nice model. Gibson wheels and Dave Franks buffers make this only £11 to build. Here it is alongside Mark's build, there's a slight difference as he used the Ratio body on his.. A SR build but given to the GWR and LMS to use during the war and beyond. 22 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will appear in the Atkins, Beard & Tourret GWR wagon bible because they were not of course Swindon built. Bachmann of course do a nice model of this but I suspect if released today would be around 20 sheets minimum - yours is a good way of bulking up post-war GWR wagon fleets! Would any of the other Dapol GWR van bodies fit an 10 foot wheelbase, and more importantly, are they accurate representations? www.Dapol.co.uk/shop/oo-gauge/wagons-OO-Gauge/unpainted-wagon-bodies/b004-oo-gauge-unpainted-gwr-ventilated-van-body-vb4-848 www.Dapol.co.uk/shop/oo-gauge/wagons-OO-Gauge/unpainted-wagon-bodies/b011-oo-gauge-unpainted-fruit-van-body-290 www.Dapol.co.uk/shop/oo-gauge/wagons-OO-Gauge/unpainted-wagon-bodies/b016-oo-gauge-unpainted-gunpowder-van-body-849 Cheers, CoY Edited September 6, 2020 by County of Yorkshire 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted September 6, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 6, 2020 Sorry @County of Yorkshire but you'll have to wait for @46444 to give you the answer to this. I'm guessing the running numbers would be on the Ratio kit instructions. Of course Bachmann do a model of it but mine is in Southern livery and vacuum brake fitted. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
