RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted September 7, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 7, 2018 The film you may be thinking of is titled "Pride", and is basically about how a group of gay and lesbian folk in London decided to help the miners in South Wales during the 1984/85 strike. Some good people in it, and a well told tale based on a true story IMHO. John. Yes of course.Thanks for supplying my memory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted September 7, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 7, 2018 And my memory is correct, The film "Pride" was shot on location in Onllwyn...go on,pronounce it if you can....and provides a sweet bit of anecdotal evidence (it is essentially a true story of Onllwyn and its pit ) to give flavour to this Accurascale release. So if you buy a rake,find a copy of the movie sit back and enjoy a funny and touching story. Brought back some of my heritage too...I was born in Aberdare,some 8 miles away,and grew up to the sound of colliery locos struggling up and down the valley with the predecessors of the HUO's.

Fat Controller Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Just read this.Wondered when some soul would make the sheep connection,forever etched into the consciousness of our Anglo Saxon minds. Refreshingly,today's four footed population have cleaned up their act and there seem to be fewer of them anyway.They don't like wheelie bins.Gone are the days when back lanes echoed to the sound of pilfered dustbins. Onllwyn is way up the Neath Valley.A feature film of the Miner's Strike (Saw it but can't for the life of me remember the title ) was made there not long ago(.Bill Nighy was in it ) was Port Talbot is more celebrated for its steel .And a guy by the name of Jenkins....alias Richard Burton. not to mention Anthony Hopkins..

RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted September 7, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 7, 2018 not to mention Anthony Hopkins.. Not in the same breath please....though both forsook the stage for the screen.Speaking of Burton and an Irish connection..which is where we are now with Accurascale,he filmed "The Spy Who Came In From The Cold " in ,of all places,Dublin.Wonder if he was sober at the time?

Swindon 123 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) I have just finished uploading nearly all my photos I took of the internal user 24.5t HUO's in internal use at Onllwyn in 1992 onto my Flickr pages. They can be found at the following links. This one takes you to my HUO album, https://flic.kr/s/aHsmcWSNFy , and this one to the Onllwyn album, which also features a large number of 21t hoppers as well, https://flic.kr/s/aHsmoQSyXR One of the wagons photographed was B338034, which was IU No 099, as modelled by Accurascale.

NoelG Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 The New Accurascale NCB Onllwyn Colliery HUO 24.5t internal user wagon set by brian mosby, on Flickr That last photo is fabulous, looks more like a scene from a Sci-Fi movie, or 1960s episode of Star Trek, or the original 1960s "Lost In Space" TV programme The eggs from Zod planted in the foreground have not yet hatched into strange space creatures. DCC has not yet been invented so the human race appears defenceless :) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
