No Decorum Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 What you see on the top facing front is the correctly-positioned handle. The moulding to locate the dis on the iron is a rounded U-shape, rather more substantial and is on the reverse as seen here. Well I'll be hanged! I live and learn but clearly not enough! Sorry about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Storey Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Having been behind the scenes at Kernow last week, the 'team' really is tiny!

Andy Y Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I came off as a harsh and sarcastic yesterday - there were outside issues that weren't helping my mood (primarily it's the anniversary of my fathers death and mum's extremely depressed - again) Whilst accepting everyone has real lives off here I feel it was unfair to malign them in the manner done so. I have seen a copy of the bounced email report so AOL as your ISP or email provider may have been the better target to look at? The reply eventually received was because of their persistence to resolve it rather than what was posted here. If it was something to which you wanted an immediate reply, phoning may have been better? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRman Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Theres certainly a touch of the Celtic wizzardy about Trerise the Grey, he somehow magically makes my shekels vanish from my wallet! Absolutely right! I have just ordered one of the early crest mainland ones for myself. I had been holding off because of so many other things pre-ordered coming in, but I finally succumbed!! Less than an hour after placing the online order, I received several emails saying the order had been received, picked and posted.

RMweb Premium Blobrick Posted November 5, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 5, 2015 Gents I wonder if l might pick your collective brains for a moment? Ever looking to increase my loco stud, l was checking allocations of 02 s in the early 1950s, and noted that Exmouth had 4 and Yeovil had 1. I ve never as yet seen photos of this class working between Exeter and Yeovil on the mainline and wondered if anyone knew of any such occasions where they might have sneaked on to this section of line? Many thanks Bob C Oh dear due to the lack of responce l can only assume these beasties did not venture east of Exmouth. Shame l wouldhave loved an excuse for a E/E version!

Prior to it being allocated Yeovil 30182 was an Eastleigh engine and posted a photo of it at Yeovil town shed still with it's Eastleigh shed code attached. The popular photos of this locomotive carrying out the RTCS special at Plymouth with the gate stock push pull set shows clearly it still has a Yeovil Town shed code fitted. So these locomotives did operate east of Exmouth and there are several photos of these locomotives in operation . I also contacted Derek Phillips who was a driver at Yeovil Town shed during the 1950s and confirmed that 30182 was shedded there but was not the preferred choice on the shuttle service as the crews would prefer to use the 2 M7s instead so 30182 was reallocated in the mid 1950s to Plymouth as it was a redundant engine at Yeovil Town.

RMweb Premium Blobrick Posted November 5, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 5, 2015 Hello again Graham Many thanks for clarifying the above. I had read through the thread before submitting my question as l suspected the answer lay within. I did see your previous comments and photos, but as you say the O2 in question worked local Push Pull services around Yeovil area, so was not quite what l was looking for. As l m am planning a layout based around Seaton Jct, l was hoping these locos would have been seen on the main line either as light engine moves or standing in for a failed M7s on local working to and from Exeter?

Bob C There are several photos in books by Derek Phillips showing O2 non push pull fitted variety operating in line which are connected to the main line to Exeter. They would would of operated on services such as the line to Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton and Seaton on rare occasions. As for operating on the main line I believe you wil struggle to find an evidence of this as the local services were either pulled by an S15 or a Bulleid Pacific too. The only occasion I can think of an O2 operating on the main line to Exeter is a the Yeovil service which did once a week run all the way to Milborne Port but I've been told no photos exist of this service but it is documented in Main line to the West Part 2.
