Poor Old Bruce Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 On 08/02/2022 at 23:04, Andy Kirkham said: That looks like the Kings Cross to York excursion in 1964 which was advertised a Duchess. Alas some bean-counter on the LMR decided that the Duchesses would be withdrawn en masse. The first that most railtour participents (like me!) knew about it was when a BR Standard tender emerged out of Gas Works Tunnel. It would have made a nice swansong if a Duchess could have been let loose down Stoke Bank on the return journey. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearholmer Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 We’re they purely ‘internal user’, or did they run over BR too? If the latter, I’m surprised they haven’t been the subject of a r-t-r model, or maybe they have, and I didn’t notice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the latter, I’m surprised they haven’t been the subject of a r-t-r model, or maybe they have, and I didn’t notice. They ran on BR, not just around Buildwas, but between some North Staffs pits (Florence, Hem Heath and Chatterley-Whitfield) and Meaford power-station, near Stone. I think they ran until the miner's strike of the 1980s. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wagons are not available RTR but I've a feeling the livery may have been used on the 'redemption hire' side-and-end door 20t vehicles available from Dapol and Hornby. These originally were a product of Airfix/GMR. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my photos are on the mainline, or required mainline access (the ones in Stoke Wagon Works). All very clear on the photos. I agree would make a good RTR - but there are two distinctive builds.

Nearholmer Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Maybe the resident was an early-adopter. Easy to overlook how many railway employees lived in “tied houses” until as recently as the 1970s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
