Photo by Gary Butler : Bletchley in the early '80s...

 

Hi Nidge,

 

I don't think the photograph was taken at Bletchley.

(1) I don't recognise it to be Bletchley, I maybe wrong.

(2)  08480 was a OC engine from 05/78 to 11/97 and 08936 was a OC engine from 12/76 to 10/87

I can't place it at OC, so Southall or Reading perhaps....

08740 & 51131 at Birmingham New Street on 02/11/85 (my photo)

 

I wonder where the '7s' with curved stems came from - these were not 'corporate'. They even appeared on Large Logo Blue, 47467 being one example IIRC.

I had some old waterslide transfer sheets with curved '7s' (SMS I think) which I had to use as nothing else was available at the time, although they always looked wrong to me.......

Very nice, but would benefit a quick blast of track dirt with an airbrush ;)

And who’s ever seen a model with the top handrail that straight…..😆

 

cheers,

Phil.
