'CHARD Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) LMS coach in blue grey livery, worth it for that alone. Mike. I was going to comment on that earlier, but decided the commute to the Tech Centre couldn't be ignored indefinitely! Can someone please enlighten me to what I need to look out for to secure one of these, as it will go on my October shopping list: repaint, RTR-bash or whatever it takes. Somewhere, I'm sure I'll be able to find likely numbers for this coach, as there can't have been many in blue and grey, not many at all. My first thought is that it's a Port-hole brake but I can't get much further... I love so many facets of this photograph - more so because it's always been one of my signature locations on the route, where everything can be seen from the A7, back in the days when the road felt more intimate and way more traditional than today. The hotel sign for the Abbotsford Arms no doubt says 'Open to Non Residents,' the CCT as leading vehicle, slipped '6' on the headcode and the wee lad stopping his bike to enjoy the spectacle.

RMweb Gold PhilH Posted September 28, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Very interesting cameo at Millerhill https://www.railscot.co.uk/imageenlarge/imagecomplete.php?id=56618 That's interesting..we've had the Scot in Millerhill for the last two months and I did a fair bit of exploring during my few weeks with it. It's quite amusing (and weird) to see still illuminated colour light signals poking their heads up above the jungle, nature has certainly taken its course there. The place is set to hum once again, electric unit stabling and a virtual quarry. They have cleared a lot of the old infrastructure ready for this and have nearly finished the laying the new line for the loading/unloading line for the quarry, hell of a tight curve going into it Edited September 28, 2016 by PhilH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite so... can anyone identify the 2nd coach? For "The Waverley" it ought to be a CK but the windows are wrong for a BR Mk.1 and it appears to be all-first - at least at the visible end. And what was the reason for the lowered section of stone wall topped by the wooden fence - some sort of access point achieved by temporary removal of said fence ?
