The RNA/HEA/CAR combination is missing one or more FNA flask wagons. Oldbury (closed 2012) and Berkeley (close 1989) power stations weren't far away. Steven B.

Just dust, probably the fastest that van's been for some time. I presume it was used during the track relaying/ballasting over Shivering Falling Sands Viaduct, so it's ballast dust Edited February 25, 2021 by Mel_H 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK123GWR Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 You'll have to take my word for it as I could only get the boring side in focus, but if you want a slightly unusual vehicle beside your layout and its set in North Wilts, why not add a post van which has a Royal Mail logo on the left, a Post Brenhinol logo on the back, and the outline of the logo with no text on the right?

If they were stuck on with the right stuff you can literally the entire dome of the cab roof up. Stuck a few of those on, it was really nasty stuff if you got it in the wrong places. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was concept art and a large-scale model built, a kind of mashup between first-gen DMU, class 47 cab-end, Deltic cab windows, US-Greyhound road coaches, Swiss observation coach and Triang Transcontinental cars. Looks very much like something out of a Gerry Anderson production! Edited February 27, 2021 by Ben B Spelling/grammar correction 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
