Popular Post thetalkinlens Posted August 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) A pair of clergymen are out in the North York Moors c1921. Rumour has it the NER will merge, so they are capturing what they can before it all changes. At Wilton Carr level crossing near Thornton Dale, one has climbed on top of a threshing machine in a field to gain a lofty vantage point, while the other has remained at the roadside. Fortune would have it a special from Scarborough headed by a Class O passes through just as they have set up.

Must admit this entire thread has somehow passed me by and I'm now getting properly stuck into it, the sheer quality and variety of modelling on display is nothing short of inspirational. I really, really need to get off my Aris' and start doing something creative again. All I can add to the thread are random shots of my old loco fleet which is now long gone... Apologies for a visual overload but feel like I'm on a bit of a roll at the moment! 25 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this instance a modified Hornby 6 wheeler with lowered step boards and lightly weathered. Transfers from HMRS and Cambridge Custom Transfers. Cheers, Mark That is lovely, could be from one of the Ian Allen colour portfolio books. Is the Hornby six wheeler generic or based on an actual prototype...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My logic was that by the time I source a Hornby one, strip it and repaint it, I might as well have a go at a coach kit. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
