The level crossing is of course still there although the signal box has long gone from Torbay Road, Paignton. Love the A30....no not the road of that designation.Once fitted seven into one of those.Don’t you just love those hemlines .....no not the half Pannier’s 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with that Robin. Red numberplates and nameplates certainly don't sit well on ex-GWR locos in my eyes. Out of interest how much bling (Brass and copper) would one of these 94xx's have carried in service in GWR and BR times? Looking forwards to seeing one on ANTB busy on the Ivybridge goods.

It was on the original national collection list in the Clapham days. I assume as the last variant of pannier it represents all the panniers, as, despite all the variants, the panniers claimed to be the most numerous class of 0-6-0. When Swindon factory put the incorrect GREAT WESTERN on the tanks, they created a prototype for everything moment. Mike Wiltshire 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribird Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Since the 94xx's are coming very soon, where were the 10 GWR ones allocated before Nationalization? Definitely buying one of the standard release, but the NRM one is also on that list to get. It is has to be one the best manufacture release of a preserved loco (the Locomotion Evening Star is also superb). The 94xx simply that it has polished wheel rims, something I have not seen on a rtr release before. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway my mind is made up.....at last. Having just told Tinker that I was rather ambivalent, I did a bit more digging and 9408 the Oxley loco was built in May 1947......and google says Wolverhampton is only 60 miles fron Wrexham Granby. Keep Well Are you after a loco that may have worked near Wrexham? 9425 went new to Chester. Might be out of your time zone, but they did get up to the North. http://brdatabase.info/locoqry.php?action=locodata&id=9425&type=S&loco=9425 Jason 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked myself that question as I sat in the back seat ages ago! Around 1972 I delivered a second-hand A30, bought by a friend in Bristol from a friend in Oxford. It didn't take many miles of driving to realise that brakes were an optional extra that hadn't been purchased! 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early spring 1948 is my absolute latest bearing in mind I only have two locos with “British Railways” on the tender. Fortunately I am fairly relaxed about the geography of the are. 60 miles aint that far where I live now!

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted November 11, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 11, 2020 Checking RailUK.info's database as at nationalisation it gives 9400 at Swindon, 9408 at Oxley and the other 7 GWR built locos at Old Oak Common. So in my world 9400 has been tripped down to Newton Abbot from Swindon for some testing..... 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use the search by number you can access the details. However the links to shed / class which used to bring up a list of all engines at a shed / all members of a class don’t work 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
