Prototype for everything corner.


Recommended Posts

Do you have a SR 3rd rail layout, but would love to buy a green class 27 to run on it? 

 

 

Don't delay your purchase, critics will be silenced when you show them this -

D5379-D5415 were originally allocated to Cricklewood and got as far as Leeds, Birmingham and Tilbury. I don't know how far south they got. There are a couple of photos on Flickr of them on Leicester - Peterborough DMU replacements.

 

Cheers

Is that a goods brake after the coaches? And is it a BR standard one? Doesn't look quite right to me.

Was wondering if the coaches are off to be scrapped by the condition of them?

Run out of long crossing timbers?

 

Well, just bolt on some extension...

 

IIRC this is how modern mainline crossovers are transported, using the long IFA tilting point carrier wagons. Even with their tilting deck, you still can’t transport a full piece of trackwork on the UK loading gauge.

Running short of green flock?

I've no idea what that weed is but it often invades open spaces around here in Dorset so a prototype with a widish spread.

There have been even shorter formations in revenue service. On one weekend there was a 2+2 FGW set running as a DMU replacement that exactly matched the Dapol book set.

What going on with the flaps on the solebar of the 08?

 

"Waterproofing" for going through the carriage washer at Oxley sidings, I think.
