Another for Ben Ashworth. His image of a 14xx ( 58xx ?) with an open and a Toad with a crowded veranda is one that immediately springs to mind. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I further recall correctly as I am away from the bookshelves at present, the veranda faces the loco and its a five plank wagon. Easy to replicate in 7mm........oh......... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interesting point of the Bishop of Liverpool climbing trees or signal posts is that he was, by all accounts, a rather portly gentleman not of the sort one would normally associate with going up trees or signal posts... I have no idea whether Ben Ashworth was an endo- or an ecto-morph, but I certainly enjoy his photographs. I have a tendeny to confuse him with George Heirion sometimes, though...

He is quite difficult to pin down on Google, you keep getting directed to some bloke callled Derek Warlock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted April 30, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 30, 2022 Indeed, and my respect for the guy is enhanced by my own signal-climbing exploits as a Canton guard back in the 70s, in particular with regard to gaining the best line-of-sight position for handsignalling the locomotive while shunting the 'Aberthaw Cement' at Aberthaw G.F. from the rotting boards of the platform of a GW rh bracket signal, Blue Anchor's up home, which controlled the junction into the CEGB reception sidings from the west. This thing shook about quite alarmingly when a board was pulled off, never mind when I was messing around up there! I am a 'gentleman of a certain carriage' (the sort with 6-wheeled bogies and strengthened trusses) these days, but a lithe and lissom 12 stone back then. The rusting ladder to access it didn't exactly inspire confidence, either... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
