Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 We're sorry to interrupt tonights light music programme, but here is some urgent news from our roving train correspondent, Fergus O'Blimey. You join me from the dark heart of the country where apparently after several weeks of faffing about, the esteemed Dr Gilbert-Farting has managed to get his turntable working. Apparently he had been using the wrong language, and a decent amount of Anglo-Saxon did the trick. In other news, Dr Gordon-Farthing claims to have managed to insert all the dangly bits on the front of his Irish American Diesel Electric Locomotive... We attempted to interview Dr Graham-Flangeplate, but unfortunately he was last seen being bundled into the back of an unmarked black sedan having been accused of mixing eras, scales, gauges and countries in a flagrant breach of The Seriousness Rules. 'We'll have none of that silliness going on here', said Inspector Corner of the Yard. 'There's people busy counting rivets and fighting over a couple of millimetres in track, we can't have this sort of anarchy going on. People just having fun? What utter rot' And now, back to the studio for some gentle Ukranian ladies destroying their instruments, followed at 10 by two hours of the Latvian Black Sabbath tribute band, diezgan tumša svētdiena. 2 1 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted October 26, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 26, 2020 Hi peeps Over the last few nights I have been cutting and shutting some LMS coaches into types that you cannot get RTR. A five bay BSO diagram D1913. A Composite Open diagram D1984, these were mainly used as dining cars but with the advent of BR standard restaurant coaches they could be seen in general use. Note the only bit of blood and custard coach used in these conversions, it was from the last LMS conversions. Never throw any potential useful bits away, I just make sure they are well hidden from that person who likes to try and tidy my stuff up. A diagram D2119 SK. These were post war coaches that preceded the porthole stock, but like the porthole stock had additional doors on the corridor side. I have made a start of cutting out the door windows. The most common of SO types, a diagram D1999. These seated 4 less passengers than the D 1915 (the Replica model) giving more leg room in the same length of passenger saloon. The brake version of the D1999 a BSO to diagram D 2008. These form a Sheff Ex standard train of six coaches with a mainline period 1 CK. 11 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted October 26, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) The other night I decided that sometimes the hauled trains to and from Seff Ex would be ones that divide on route, for instance a Leeds and Bradford train. So I can represent this some of my standard six coach trains will have an additional BCK so I can changed the formation from BSK/SK/CK/CK/SK/BSK or their open equivalents to BSK/SK/CK/BSK say for Leeds and SK/BCK for Bradford. Here are two LMS BCKs. A diagram D1720A corridor side. These were rebuilt to look like period 3 coaches from a period 2 design. The compartment side, they were distinctive in having the toilet between the first class and second (third) class compartments following complaints of third class passengers having to pass first class compartments to gain access to the toilet in the previous D1704 BCK design. The D1704s were also rebuilt to look like period 3 coaches and to make one is on my hit list. The next two designs of BCK had toilets for both classes but this cut down the accommodation, there was a coupe compartment for both first and second class passengers. This is one of the two D1911 built, these differed from the D1850 design in having deeper siding ventilators. To date I have not built any of the earlier Stanier coaches with the shallow sliding ventilators. The compartment side. The corridor side used standard windows. The next design of BCK over came the reduction in first class seating by having two full size compartments by making the coaches 62ft long, another potential model. The brake ends for both these coaches came from non-gangway BS(L)s which are also going to supply parts for some LTSR section coaches and a Push Pull set.
