RMweb Gold Nick C Posted July 21, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) There's also Woolmer, just over the border into Hampshire - that of course did have a railway... Or for another fictional one, how about Sheepdene? -dene and -hurst are good traditional Saxon names, meaning valley and hill respectively.

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted July 21, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2019 I see the layout as being in the Hampshire area, pretty much as per Havant/Hayling Island in the territory shared between L&SWR and LB&SCR. Rob. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like Lambledon, Stubbers. Perhaps with a nod to the Hayling Island branch in mind, my favourite location thereon is Langston. { Thought about it, complete with level crossing and allotments but I want a terminus} If we narrow this down then...................

When you modelled the Callington Branch (haha) Lambston could take the place of either Albaston or Launceston... Just a thought.

Lambleston or Lambston Rob. Being pedantic, that would be Lambstone with an 'e'. The Royal Oak pub there is one of several on the South Coast where, if you arrive at the wrong (right) time, you can't escape until after the next high tide. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob. There's a Ramsdean just west of Petersfield, as well as Langrish (Lambrish?). Woolbeding (which I mentioned earlier is by Midhurst, so right on the SW/Brighton border. But Lambston (or Lambstone, they used both spellings at Langstone) sounds good, and fits the area. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted July 21, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) Just noticed that this load of waffle has attracted 100 followers. Thank you all for the input into what is turning into an ovine opus, tottering towards chapter four in the book of sheep. The new layout will be known as Lamblestone, with due thanks to Stubbers for the nod. A compact and bijou playground for small canine types. Progress will of course feature on here and will try my best to document as complete a record as I can between now and April Rob.

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted July 21, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2019 It's funny what we do. I am finally getting around to coaling the Radials ahead of the Minehead show, As such, I have mainly been looking at the rear end of a Radial. I didn't want to pop in too big a lump.

I did think about having a P, CK but ruled it out, deciding to stick with the Terriers. I have to say I am quite happy with the first one. I know people have raised issues over the detailing and accuracy of the Hornby model but I think it will do. The P is a charming little chap and I almost succumbed to a H class so nearly went a bit SECR..................but that was a bit too far the other way for comfort.

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted July 21, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2019 No. I think I will side with those from Margate { and district !}, CK. I'm not convinced of the extra detailing being worth the additional £40+. My first example runs very well indeed. Rob 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful when it comes to renumbering Terriers - they were pretty much all different by the end. Note for example 46 above, with long bunker, original splashers, two coal rails, and the spark arrestor on the copper-capped chimney. I think at this point she also had a toolbox on the other tank, not visible in this photo. Other variations included the position of the extra lamp irons on the front - LBSC style as above, on the sides of the smoke box, both, or neither!

They are a bit of a minefield to say the least. Like you, I look forward to Hornby releasing the Isle of Wight bunker jobbie in BR black. That should do me then. Personally, I think that this modification improved the looks of the real thing. A moot point to some no doubt. Rob. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
