It's just a nice photo of a beautiful steam engine.

 

We've had photos of 7812, 7821, 7808, 7822 today.

 

Can we get the full house before Accurascale make their next big announcement?

 

I've posted 7816 previously in this thread and somewhere I've got a photo my dad took off one on Newton Abbot shed when our train stopped there on our journey to Plymouth.  Those are the only ones I have photos of them in BR traffic.

7817 Garsington Manor. The house now in the Getty Estate in The Chilterns. Once the home of the man himself.J.Paul Getty. Now hosts a very twee opera festival every summer. Sorry,off at a tangent here.But it is a lovely place to visit and has a picture postcard cricket ground. Just saying……

Nope. It’s in Garsington, in Oxfordshire. Garsington Opera is now at Getty’s old place, Wormsley Park, which is in the Chilterns. It moved there after Leonard Ingrams, its founder, died, and the house was sold.

There large logo 37s come to mind . In terms of steam no this is the most rage for a loco I have seen . At thus point hours feels like days waiting for this to be released , but that might just be me ?

I remember some people getting extremely excited about the Bachmann 94XX, possibly the Model Rail/Rapido 16XX (although that latter was a serious disappointment as far as I was concerned).

 

Given that this is not the first model of this prototype (although it is the first for a long time), the excitement and froth is in no small measure (I believe) due to the apparent very high quality of the anticipated model.

 

Perhaps there have been some D&E models that have caused higher levels of excitement, but I wouldn't really know about that, because I'm the sort of person that can't tell the difference between a Mk 1 Bachmann Class 25 and later versions....

There was a long wait, after the excellent Mainline Manor,  for the Airfix Castle; my local model shop near Epsom Station got fed up with a stream of impatient customers asking for it after it had been advertised, but not delivered. Sadly the model didn’t deliver either when I bought it!

What about the Airfix 14xx?

 

That also promised to be a step change in model quality.

Apologies & no excuses.You are correct. I had not realised that there is in fact another Garsington close to the Getty estate. But another with cultural connections though of a somewhat alternative nature . Thanks for drawing attention to this.

Correct.  The RCTS "The Locomotives of the Great Western Railway" series is the lodestone of basic information.  In this case from Part 14 section "The Origins of Locomotive Names" page P122 "Garsington Manor Stands in a SE suburb of Oxford".  See here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garsington_Manor

You may be a bit late for that. They have announced a J67/68/69 'Buckjumper'. By all means start a frothfest about their 3rd though!🙂

Fairly sure a colleague has a T-shirt from his time working at a techie at the opera at Garsington!

 

cheers
