Popular Post Victorian Posted July 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) Here's a scene on the long - lost London & Birmingham, taken yesterday in Bakewell, Derbyshire. Courtesy of the Yorkshire group of G1MRA, I was able to take over a beautiful little yard at one corner of the huge 'Ridings' layout at yesterday's 'Gauge 1 North' to stable some L&BR stock. From L to R, the locos are Bury 0-4-0 (raising steam), 2-2-2 Sharpie 'Odin' and 2-2-2 Patentee 'Harvey Combe'. Another Bury 0-4-0 stands on the shed road. The passenger stock is early LNWR including the 1857 brake discovered by Mike and Bob Williams in a Towcester farmyard and the 'Queen Adelaide' saloon as preserved in the NRM. Goods stock is c. 1850, mostly from engravings in S. C. Brees, 'Railway Practice'. The locos and goods stock are 3D printed in SLS Nylon, as is Queen Adelaide's saloon. Other carriages are in etched brass. Here's the express passenger out on the line: (The Sharpie is brand new in 1846 and on test prior to delivery to Denmark, where it is to become the first engine in that country. 'Harvey Combe' is acting as pilot because the whole thing is unnoficial - the little 2-2-2 never got to run on a service train so far as we know). Sorry to have to own up that the locos are not live steam - ultrasonic nebulisers run all day and no meths is involved! Sincere thanks to Peter Vincent and the Yorkshire Group for allowing me to occupy an entire corner of their layout.

Dana Ashdown Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Chris Cox is working on a 4mm EM scale L&B layout based on Coventry - https://coventry1839.org. The Bury frames in that scale are particularly delicate! 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
