I just need to pick up another left hand point. The platform is just there to support the buildings. I will use PECO concrete edges. Rob.

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted September 15, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 15, 2019 Have you had a chance yet to check the space for running the passenger loco round it’s stock in the platform? It looks like the maximum is one coach length using a tender loco, but if using short locos only perhaps you could move the points a little nearer the buffers and be able to run round two? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted September 15, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hi Brush. I will only use one coach and don't intend running tender locos at Lambston. Just small tank engines. I want it to be a bit awkward to operate. More interesting that way. I will look to add a bay as well. Rob. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also multiple versions of Hornby's 0.4.0 Peckett looming. The answer's quite simple, mein lieber Herr von Schafenbahnhofmitkleinloks, just have a BR location, with an off-scene industry of some kind, into which NCB or industrial locos are permitted to run. Once you turn on the tap lots of Andrew Peckswellclarkewardles will just keep coming! 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering what to use and whilst in the dining room I had a bit of a light bulb moment..

One can be quite inspired if the right photo pops up............I do rather like these shots from North Wales. This is the prototype for the latest narrow gauge engine shed from Bachmann. Now if a Peckett would fit through the door...............a small leafy, slightly overgrown engine sheddy layout beckons methinks. ....

My absolutely favourite inspirational photo of a grimy Peckett in leafy surroundings can be found on page 19 of Industrial Railways in Colour, Volume 2 (by Michael Poulter, Irwell Press, 2006), featuring the wonderful 'Sir Gomer' of Mountain Ash. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a small town gasworks require a 'grimy Peckett' or similar to shunt some wagons too? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, lots of gas works had their own locos, especially if they had several sidings. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that, apart from the well known examples in Co Durham and Northumberland, the norm was that privately owned locos were not allowed on to BR or the previous railway companies' tracks. BR locos were usually allowed as far as a stop board into the privately owned siding where exchange of traffic may be effected, but by and large this was only ever as far as absolutely necessary. Private industrial locos should not be seen on BR track unless there is as specific reason, and apart from Northeast England there wasn't as a rule! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that I can just scan the image in and post it on here, as it's from a book, but then again, I don't have an operational scanner at the moment, thanks to various previous Microsoft enforced upgrades. I could take a photo of it on my camera and PM it to you, perhaps? it really is very Pecketty and leafy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the David in question a miner, drive, fireman, or simply a pimply, cheeky lad from the local school? Or maybe it is that other kind of greatness and the loco really is call "Sir David"... but the linesmen affectionately know him as Dai. That bit's important... Sir David can be a bit overawing, but Sir Dai won't even scare the sheep! Kind regards. Neil 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't she the "Girl on a Bicycle" (wearing a donkey jacket?) I think she got married in Barry Docks. Oh no; my mistake. I'm thinking of Marianne Marigold Faithless.
