Mol_PMB Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 An early-days preservation site would be an interesting model. Some weedy sidings with rotten coaches and wagons poorly sheeted over, the rusting hulk of a Bulleid Pacific, a Barclay saddle tank dismantled in the open, and a little diesel shunter pottering up and down with a Mk1 coach only partly repainted from NSE to maroon? Could maybe be alongside a functioning BR depot or freight line? 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwr Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Sounds like Seven Mill Sidings without the Mk1 or Bullied! Paul R 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwr Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) Not looking forward to this. I had no idea where SMS is supposed to be based so I have chosen the Shrewsbury area of LM.

I had to make a guess! You'll probably now have to run a rail tour ahead of closure!!! A two car DMU should do it. Perhaps someone could visit once the lockdown has ended and if not gone you could have a last Hurrah! I would offer but none of my stock is DCC.

Trevor Hi Trevor, if you have any photos of that trip or of the MSC Railway in general, I'd love to see them as I am modelling part of the MSC Railway in 7mm scale. https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/161255-mols-msc-hudswell-clarke-204hp-diesel/ https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/161395-mols-msc-layout-musings/ https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/101520-manchester-ship-canal-railway/ Many thanks, Mol 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
