No apologies needed Rob, I've been trying to escape for nearly 60 years....!! :D

 

Glad to see young George has found his place in the thread title!

9635 is on an extended jog around the The Improvised Table Top Improving Engine System or T.I.T.T.I.E.S  for short. 

I hope the whole process doesn't prove too much of a handful.....

In my experience, it seems that any more than a handful rapidly goes out of shape, with disappointing results...

 

Just remind me, what we were talking about again?

 

 

Well filled baps...as per thread title.

'Tis very nice but as I already have one Hornby and one Bachmann SR brake van, and there is only one daily return freight between Wadebridge and Pentowan, a third would be rather over the top. Wouldn't it?...

But 54663 ended its days at Wadebridge so how can you resist?

Possibly, but I'd say you're more likely to get a 94XX in the south of the Principality.

As an aside, the three panniers were all at one time Welsh engines. 

 

7717 was a Cardiff loco. Its not correct as I think if I recall CK correctly, it should have riveted tanks but happy for some confirmation. By virtue of the number and an acknowledgement to BGman, I'm happy to leave as is. 

 

Both 9635 and 9487 were Swansea locos and display the relevant shed codes but 9487 later moved to Newton Abbot. 

 

Not sure on 9635's movements and if it ever escaped from Swansea. (My apologies to Keef). Again happy for any clarity on this. 

 

At this rate, perhaps I shoud start seeking out copies of Irwells Pannier papers of which certain ones are a bit scarce I believe. 

 

Rob. 

 

 

 

 

BR Database shows 9635 as Tys Tysley new 1934, 83C Exeter 24 March 62, 83B Taunton 6 Apr 63,

WDN 25 Jun 64.

 

Thats not to say it wasn't at Swansea, but they are generally pretty good for BR data, less

so pre nationalisation.

 

9487 moved on from NA to Exeter 13 Aug 60 until Wdn 31 July 62.

Efallai na fydd rhywbeth ychydig yn rhedeg i lawr, wedi gordyfu a thatw yn diflannu.

Ond erys y cwestiwn, ai Celf mewn gwirionedd yw'r consortrwm mwyaf ethereal hwn neu ddim ond rhith estheteg ragweladwy?
