The suffix indicated where the vehicle would be maintained, so as some pre-nat designs began to be used by other regions they received the new prefix, but the old suffix to show where maintenance and spares would be available. Paul Thanks for that Paul, that makes perfect sense. In 1948, all inherited stock was Grouping and it would be several years before BR standard stock entered service and needed differentiation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we talking about the erstwhile Lima version in both OO and N which I believe was a work of fiction. As far as I understand it Palethorpes liveried vehicles were predominantly LMS designed vehicles apart from 2801 and 2802 which "6 wheel sausage vans" but with GWR axleboxes springs etc. These two vans appear to have worked the Palethorpes service between their loading platform at Sedgeley Jn and Cardiff via Stourbridge and Worcester. Welcome any factual evidence of prototypes for the Lima mdoels 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a large sized hardback to the usual WS format with dust jacket. Heavily illustrated, including scale drawings and running to over 260 pages, it will cost at least £54.95 to purchase(!)

The attention to detail in both model itself and application of liveries is incredibly well done and based upon solid research, as Paul’s answers here illustrate so well. Happily, there appear to be quite large numbers of us who are fascinated by the minutiae and detail of this project.

Well, that's as far as I'm prepared to speculate ! 🙂 My money would go on an announcement once the Manors hit the airport tarmac…. Hopefully then Accurascale will announce the long awaited Saint class 4-6-0….. or even the new 0-6-0PT loco in several different variations…. Both of which would sell like the proverbial hot cakes 😎 In typing the above, I hadn’t seen that Accurascale have just posted this: Edited April 19, 2023 by Neal Ball 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted April 19, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 19, 2023 All this talk of landing and hitting the tarmac, perhaps the announcement is that they will be sold as kits rather than RTR... and at what stage will its range of model locos be big enough to mean that Accurascale adds main line Mk1s to its range... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
