Staffordshire Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Hello, I wonder if anyone can help answer a question regarding certain GWR/BR Peckett locos ? Are Loco's 1143 & 1145 originally Swansea Harbour Trust and the Powlesland & Mason locos 1150 -1152, the same type/model of Peckett ? If they were the same type, were there any recognisable differences between the two Company's locos ? I am trying to model in 4mm an accurate mode of 1151, any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br2975 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) 1143 was formerly GWR 968 and ex SHT No.12. Peckett 1105/1908 1145 was formerly GWR 1098 and ex SHT No.18, Peckett 1522/1918 1150 was formerly GWR 696 and ex P&M No.3, Peckett 1328/1913 1151 was formerly GWR 779 and ex P&M No.4, Peckett 1449/1916 1152 was formerly GWR 935 and ex P&M No.12, Peckett 1179/1912 . All were Peckett Class 'E' 0-4-0ST. . I believe Swindon issued Dia. Y to cover them all. . 1152 appears to have had an open cab rear, compared to the others.

JimC Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 If I read RCTS correctly I think they all started life as Peckett's E Class. Once they were with the GWR they were all classed under the same diagram, but over time there were minor differences - not all received GWR chimney's for instance. So by the time they got to BR there were certainly variations, but I don't think the variations related to who owned them 30 years before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 1143 seems to have retained its original safety valves through however many visits to Swindon or Caerphilly ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what appears to be Salter valves. . That's why I modelled it, using a Springside 'Peckett' as a basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffordshire Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 Thank you all for the information, just what I required, the photos from br2975 are such a modelling aid. Roll on 1151, although 1152 with the open cab back is tempting !! If there are any more photos out there, would love to see them ... Cheers, Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
