RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted January 15, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2015 Yes, that's an acceptable formation. Depending on the date of your railway of course Maybe the Baby Belling preceded them? images (2).jpg (No, I didn't say baby bellowing) P Baby Bellings were more or less a standard item in WR signalboxes with a mains electricity supply. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWeatheringMan Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Sorry, just before I go, does this layout have to be in Cornwall? I ask as the Yelverton idea would be a lovely place, with two branches and lots of interesting features with the occasional excuse to run 'excursions'. Even has a cutting and tunnel. Yelverton looking north.jpg Yelverton Sth.jpg Bye. Hi, Yelverton, a lovely station and would make a very interesting model indeed. Just dont try and do a field trip for research - the site is totally overgrown and lost to sight - its actually almost impossible to manage to locate it nowadays and is also within private grounds.

Rivercider Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I quite like the idea of using a Toad as a beach hut. Solid, waterproof, nice veranda, stove inside when it's chilly - good thinking !

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted January 16, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16, 2015 Ah, Page 8. I'm allowed back now then? Rhino freedom gauranteed etc. P I never considered you as absent in any sense of the word, Dear Heart. Now then, what say we suggest that ANTB and this thread are updated each at the same time, so that they are always next to each other in the list of layout threads? We could all save valuable milli-seconds looking from one to the other if that were the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted January 17, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Nothing to report. Work and family taking up all available time. However, quiet 5 minutes now and a bit of research, aided by a few of Wych wood brewery's finest. Found this nice image of a 4575. These really are lovely little engines Rob Edited January 17, 2015 by nhy581 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted January 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2015 Great picture for basing weathering on, plus look how smooth the ground is. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted January 18, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 18, 2015 Great picture for basing weathering on, plus look how smooth the ground is.I agree Stubbs. Most people tend to give the ground in a loco depot the texture of a building site. Yes,I was looking for photos for weathering purposes. Some days off coming up so hopefully have some time for some modelling. There. Said it now. Let Kack, God of chaos and mayhem visit himself upon me..........

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted January 18, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 18, 2015 Where was it taken, Rob - great image anyway. Also a fairly rare livery combination of early emblem with lined green livery - the 'window' to deliver that combination was fairly short. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted January 19, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 19, 2015 Yes, Exeter - http://locodriver.co.uk/Vol07/Part09/02/index.htmlThanks, John. I should have credited loco driver. There are some very good images on there. At least we know the date now. This livery then in 1957, which is spot on where I want it to be. I did wonder when I bought the Bachmann variety. Now on four days off so hopefully some sort of progress can be made. Also hope to write up some kind of background to the branch.
