Popular Post KNP Posted February 9, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) A gaggle of Prairies..... 5531 trundles into town with a coal train 4589 passes by with the local passenger service and into the distance 4550 with the PW train waits at the signal for the main line to clear. Boy, a busy day at LM, unusual to see all three Prairies out and about at the same time....almost as if it was staged?

Followers of Little Muddle might be interested in joining a poll in the GWR sub forum, where we are casting votes for a new GWR R-T-R Pannier tank 0-6-0. As well as the poll, on Page 1 there is my rationale / suggested specification for a new loco. One of which is that the loco should be designed before WW2. With that being one of the criteria, I thought it might appeal to some of your followers. The poll is here, together with my rationale: Thanks, Neal. Is there an option in the poll for 'i have 1 and that's far too many'? 2 1 2 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepers being added by what with the cut out holes???? Now I see Lead smuggling, very rife in these parts!! Wagon very light even with the brass couplings fitted so weight needed but where to put it?? In the load of course hidden from view…,, There is space to fit 30g of lead under the end platforms as I did on mine. Ingenious solution you have found there though. 1 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallpaul69 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 The lack of the diversity of livery of pre war coal traffic is one thing I do miss about modelling in the turn of the 60s. Somehow the differing types of 16ton steel wagon and their differing patterns of rust patches are not quite the same! Admittedly I do cheat apply rule 1, and run a higher proportion of wooden coal wagons than is perhaps prototypical of the time. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've long avoided brightly colored PO wagons because I have always thought that they looked toylike. I've just changed my mind! BTW. There was a sleeper wagon kit appeared on eBay yesterday for under a tenner including the postage.
