RMweb Premium newbryford Posted October 18, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 18, 2012 Pretty sure Deltics did appear on the West Highland on excursions/specials--at RA5 they were within the route limitations. Same bogies as a Class 37 and not as heavy! IIRC a Glasgow-Edinburgh Mk3 push-pull set was used as the on-train PA was to be used to commentate on the tour. (Very few trains had PA systems back then) The only available ETH fitted loco with suitable RA availability was a D*lt*c. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattWallace Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 If you are wanting to recreate an intermodal terminal with small size but many FOCs then the potter group and more recent widnes terminal are the perfect example. A road based reach stacker would be as prototypical as a gantry crane. Reach stackers are available as simple push fit kits by kibri Thanks, I'll look those yards up on Google Earth (unless anyone has an pictures? ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold DaveF Posted October 19, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 19, 2012 I have a preferred period for my 4mm modelling of the S&C, Midland post WW1, so that's what I normally run. However I do have a collection of "Modern Image" and BR steam, when the mood takes me I run the Midland stock on the up line and the other stock on the down line. Not very prototypical but I enjoy it for a change. If anyone comments on it I mention the space/time discontinuities around Leeds and Carlisle.
