RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted January 29, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29, 2018 What a nice little teaser of the route!!!!! and yes Shannon is a very nice loco, and if a 3d printed one was available I would most likely have to have it! I see nothing else in that post at all!!!!!!!! Looking forward to seeing how the TS router turns out!! Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Yes, Shannon will probably come after the Manning Wardle, the drawings for which were PM'd to me this morning by a mysterious stranger named 'G. Ary'? I don't know who that might be, but he had a list of requests which will be fulfilled in due course! E. Misse'd (AGA, IN) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted January 29, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29, 2018 Well I have never heard of this 'G. Ary' I would say any requests from him probably arn't too important though!! You probably already do quite a lot for him!!! Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 He only asked for two LBSCR locos (OK, three if you include the Manning Wardle 'M' of which 'Sharpthorne' is preserved at the Bluebell because it was used to build the line.), so it can't be you, Gary. He addressed me as 'Sir Eustace' though, so I would guess that he's a part of the landed gentry, within which such modes of address are common. Good Day, C. Lueless & S.

RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted January 29, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29, 2018 Psssstt...... Sharpthorn is a 'K' Class! Oak Hill is based on the M Class though! His name doesn't sound very landed gentry though!! However I'm sure he will still be looking forward to whatever you produce!!! Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted January 29, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29, 2018 Or this? I may have sent drawings of that loco!! And a picture of its former life as a saddle tank!! Gary 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted January 29, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 29, 2018 I do like the application of the standard lining on the sandbox - any smaller and it'd have disappeared up its own whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Not only did Gary send me drawings and pictures for No.400, but I'd already got hold of some with a view to doing this! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeandnel Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Not only did Gary send me drawings and pictures for No.400, but I'd already got hold of some with a view to doing this! Yes, and me too. I have every intention of chopping something about in order to acquire number 400 for Midhurst LBSCR Station 1866 I have a large coloured painting of it on the wall of my railway room, and it is there every day to remind me to get on with it!

Caley Jim Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Someone's got a strange idea of what constitutes a cab! Not much protection from the weather... Could it be an early form of roll-over bar? Predating elf and softly by more than a century! Jim 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Northroader Posted January 29, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 29, 2018 It’s just a set of bar supports that you could drape a tarpaulin over in wet weather. Quite uncommon. There’s a write up and drawings in F.C.Hambleton’s “Locomotives worth modelling” Percival Marshall. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ChrisN Posted January 29, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29, 2018 Gary, There was a discussion on the topic of foreign wagons here. It starts about half way down the page. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 My drawings (And possibly the ones Gary sent) are from Mr Hambleton's book, which I picked up some time ago whilst visiting Barter Books in Alnwick. Fantastic shop, that... Anyway, any E5 name/number requests for an IEG sheet? Please see my workbench/screen thread for more... and to place your requests so I can stop hijacking Gary's thread! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted January 29, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29, 2018 The drawings I sent are MUCH older than Mr Hambletons's book, although I have that as well. The ones I sent came from here: (first edition, printed 1903!!) The loco had a cab originally it was removed while it was the shunter in Brighton works Gary 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Oh, I see! I need to try and get myself a copy, and if you have any BilIinton on Stroudley 0-6-0 goods locos in there, I would very much appreciate scans! And scans of every other loco in there... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted January 29, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29, 2018 Well the good news is that the book was re-printed a few years ago. The new copy is on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Locomotives-London-Brighton-Railway-1839-1903/dp/1445634449 There is a lot of side on drawings and lots of info about every class!! The biggest problem is that the drawings have no scales or measurements, you can however go through the text and find the info to scale them!

sem34090 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Well, a combination of google and reading helps with side-views. Where there's an end view, there's one measurement that applies to all locos (Other than some exceptions, and many pre-1890's GWR locos!) which I use as a guide. I may need to get the reprint! I found it cheaper on ebay too... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
