BSG75 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hi all, Sorry for the silly question, but is this model based on a specific prototype, and what were Ash Plants used for on the real railway ? Thanks ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

neal Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Picked one up to accompany the coaling tower representation from Hornby Yes it's a bit wonky and the rails for the buckets are rather coarse, but it has character, and potential for improvement. By shortening the rails by around 6mm they set back more in keeping with the Carnforth prototype. Granted this is not a true scale model, but at half the price of Bachmann's forthcoming release, it is good value. N Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
