KeithHC Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 And I thought my school was close to the railway. One side looked at the Quarry line just before it disappeared into Redhill tunnel. I just had to keep an eye on what went passed especially as it was the last couple of years of the Brighton Belle. Keith 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattR Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) There are a bunch of photos on Flickr of various diesel locomotives wearing a Star Trek reference -- "RESISTANCE IS FUTILE" headboard.

The model dates from Mainline days. The body is a fairly close but slightly long representation of the Charles Roberts 1930s built 21ton design. BR built more in the early fifties uprated to 24ton. The chassis is well out: 10ft wheelbase, 17ft 6in over headstocks, morton brakes, 13ton axleguards and axleboxes. This is the chassis normally used under merchandise vans and open wagons and is fine for that purpose. It should be; 9ft wheelbase, 16ft 6in over headstocks, independent (eitherside) brakes, 20ton axleguards and axleboxes. So, a mediocre representation of the intended prototype which is not an LMS iron ore hopper anyway! Though an accurate model of either would be welcome. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ramrig Posted February 9 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 9 (edited) This is the Mainline wagon, not the one above. The one above is N gauge . Image owner unknown. And Yes. It is a very poor quality model nearly forty years on. Edited February 9 by Ramrig Added text 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
