Locos & wagons

[Luke Palmer]

Hi all,

 

Just for fun, I'm making a list of all of the locomotives I would like.

 

Unfortunately now it's got a bit out of hand and I'm starting to add wagons and coaches to my list as well

 

I would like to know, what locos go with what wagons/coaches,

pics, info, etc would help.

 

Thanks

Luke

Suggest you do the research yourself.

There are plenty of pics already on here and elsewhere on the web that google will find for you.

I'll just dust off my crystal ball.

Some are easy like the 91 and Mk 4's.

 

But for anything else you'd need to say what period/time/region for any answers

I have got mostly modern image locos, quite a few I know

[chris p bacon]

Blimey..................I'm pre-grouping so all a bit "foreign" to me...

[Rivercider]

That is an impressive list of locos there.

 

The simplest way to get a feel for what stock goes with what loco would be to search for each loco number on Flickr, as I'll bet almost all of them are well photographed,

you should then see what each loco regularly worked with,

 

cheers

And/or Google Image Search.  Seemed to work fairly well for one I picked at random off the OP's list (66407).

Or, assuming you live in the UK, go down to your nearest railway line, especially if there is a decent amount of freight traffic on it, watch the trains, and take notes.  This method has the advantage of being good fun as well.

A bit difficult seeing as many of those liveries disappeared years ago....

 

 

That is a way of doing it for some of the newer ones.

 

 

 

Group them into the owners/liveries and then Google that livery/owner. Wikipedia is great for things like this.

 

For example

 

Network South East locomotives match each other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_SouthEast

 

Regional Railways locomotives also match each other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_Railways

 

EWS locomotive as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB_Cargo_UK

 

Fragonset. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FM_Rail

 

And so on.

So you got a great big wish list ? I suggest for that lot everything Bachmann , Dapol , and Hornby make in wagons....

[Shed]

Think you will need a fair few wagons.

That's a lot of locomotives

Yes mate, WISH list is the word

Well, I reckon this thread doesn't have long to live. Andy is not a fan of wishlists TBH, they pop up and fill the place up quite a lot.

Different kind of wishlist.

 

These are things that already exist that the OP wants to buy. receive as a present or already has.

 

 

 

He just wants to find out what they go with. I'll post a few recommendations later.

Here's a few links to rolling stock that will go with some of the locomotives above. Just for ideas. Other shops are available.

 

It's mostly Bachmann and Dapol for wagons.

Just a few ideas to push you in the right direction.

That's 182 locos , that he " wishes to buy " if that's not a wish list , I don't know what is.

 

Maybe it's a letter to Santa ? I remember filling out the whole Hornby catalogue when I was 8 for Santa, and the tight wad delivered nothing that year !

[Luke Palmer]

If you want to include DMUs, I have 264 locos on my wish list.

I'm also yet to add steam locomotives

[black and decker boy]

If you are adding steam to that mix of diesels then you can simply buy any wagons or coaches advertised as the same era ((Bachmann are good at that). I would also add the lottery tickets you need to find the £40,000 you will need plus £100,000 for a layout room big enough to store and run them all.

 

You could also consider investing in some books which will answer all of your questions

 

E.g. For BR blue you have http://www.strathwood.co.uk/seventies-spotting-days-17-c.asp

 

For sectorisation / railfreight intercity etc you have

http://www.strathwood.co.uk/eighties-spotting-days-18-c.asp

 

There are also good dvds of the late 80s / 90s

And in case that is not a big enough shopping list for you, don't forget that wagons were not repainted immediately in new liveries and the era before can be justified behind the next era's loco...
