Sam*45110*SVR Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I thought I hadn't either, but I'd somehow missed it. The email is titled "Bradley Manor Models Have Arrived!" I received it from info at keypublishing dot com on 28th July at 12:45 Hope that helps. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard nothing either, not since the 11th October 2021 when I preordered it. I’ve had the DCC ready version, not sure if they are contacting sound folk first or something like that?

Rugd1022 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 No first hand experience of Manors for me sadly apart from in preservation, but plenty of handed down memories of them and most other GW locos from my other half's late father who joined the GWR as a booking lad in one of the 'boxes at Slough in 1946 and stayed there till he left to do his national service in 1951. He remembered a few Manors passing through in that period, he said them being relatively rare in the London Division was what made them so memorable. He recalled 7816 on a very long parcels train crawling through Slough on the up relief one morning, then returning light engine along the down relief with a 28xx in tow a few hours later. He loved all the 4-6-0s but had a soft spot for the Manors and Granges. He often said the Halls were a ten a penny! Another shot of 7820 on the Glos & Warks... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pendennis Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 The family went on holiday to North Wales in the summer of 1953. We went by train from Paddington to Harlech, surely the Cambrian Coast Express so probably a Manor; came home the same route a fortnight later. Sad to say, at the age of 5, all I remember was that it was a steam train, probably slept a lot of the journey! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 88C Posted July 31, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2023 Whilst waiting ‘patiently ‘ for Bradley Manor to arrive I have been trying to remember seeing the real things. Most of my western region spotting was done when on holiday at Barry, with the odd trip from there to Cardiff or occasionally Bristol. Not counting the locos in Woodham’s, I saw 9 others but sadly I can’t recall where. Perhaps the odd one came on a special but all my records have long since gone, only the ABC remains. My memory of Bradley is from seeing it alongside Barry goods shed awaiting its fate, I posted a photo much earlier in this thread. Brian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Karl Posted July 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) Thought I'd join the fun, 7812 Erlestoke Manor leads 7822 Foxcote Manor out of the mist at Garth-y-Dwr on the Llangollen Railway. As it stands I'm just awaiting delivery of 4 with hopes that they'll produce another 2 particular ones! Edited July 31, 2023 by Karl 28 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top trumps then….and a roll call of any members who rode behind a Manor while they were in service with GWR/BR ( WR ) rather than on a heritage line ? Age no barrier btw….I’ve already “gone first “ . 😇 See the pic of 7812 above on a Shrewsbury-Crewe in 1965 I was 16! Now, having ordered 7800 as being in BR condition (the only one I could find available), is there anything that prevents a renumber to 7812? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulwell Hall Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Whilst I am old enough to have ridden behind a Manor in BR service, living on the Southern Waterloo- Weymouth line as I did I don't recall having done so. But I certainly recall seeing them as they regularly turned up on the SR. Somewhere I have a snap taken on my juvenile Brownie camera of 7818 Granville Manor on shed at Eastleigh around 1964 whilst Frilsham Manor with the 'GWR' tender came though Winchester several times. I also saw Cookham Manor arrive at Taplow on a special from Birmingham at an early GWS open day at Taplow around 1966. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
