Clearwater Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I know Facebook is not to everyone's taste but I've recently discovered this excellent group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/921387308231483 called GWR Modelling. Suspect some of the regulars here may already be members... There's some excellent modelling eg this from a guy called Nigel Wall who appears to have a model of Stourbridge Junction (my home town). Here's his weathered and renumbered Hornby Prairie: 13 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little searching later... Quote "I was doing all black and white until 1957, when I started taking colour photos as well - but not many at first because it was expensive. A 36 exposure film cost 36 shillings, so it was a shilling a shot which was a lot of money in those days." http://www.bbc.co.uk/devon/content/articles/2008/10/09/trains_peter_gray_feature.shtml and https://www.transporttreasury.com/f449715166 I wonder if the Transport Treasury is still work in progress? Quote A few years before his death we started the process of scanning all of Peters' negative collection, so we thought we would share this with you. We hope to add more caption details as and when we are able to. As they only seem to be showing Peter Gray's black and white photos, with no captions. So another set of mystery photos ideal for RMWeb members to identify the locations. e.g. https://www.transporttreasury.com/p1039757392 Pic 598 and 619 - a Great Northern railbus? https://www.transporttreasury.com/p1039757392/ha954f804#ha954f804 https://www.transporttreasury.com/p1039757392/ha9550241#ha9550241 Pic 775 - one loco, one coach, and one wagon - mixed traffic? https://www.transporttreasury.com/p1039757392/ha9555b06#ha9555b06 Pic 811 A classic GWR BLT - Kingsbridge perhaps? https://www.transporttreasury.com/p1039757392/ha9558e93#ha9558e93 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted November 8, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 8, 2020 There is a great one of his showing 2785 in Newton Abbot in the late 40s painted in GWR black after being rebuilt after the air raid damage a few years previously. It’s on the to do list one day likely from a Finney kit. Would love to see a properly indexed list of his 1940s photos 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Gray's work is an invaluable resource for those of us modelling the railways of Devon or Cornwall. 1 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
