RBE Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Indeed I do! I really liked those two loco's I nearly kept them for myself! I don't get the chance to really go to town on models so much at the minute as virtually all of my commision time is taken up with my recent repaint/weathering contract with a certain sheffiled based model shop who won't pay for all the stops out jobs!

Guest jim s-w Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hi All This generally crap, badly coloured and grainy picture shows... ... the only known visit of an APT to Birmingham! In reality I have found a picture of half a set being towed past Saltley but as far as I know an APT never got to New Street. (even if one did it would be out of period for my layout anyway!

7APT7 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) Hi Jim Love it despite the Age and its colours, I just started getting into Real Railway stuff when this came out, so it kind of stands out to me as my generation... Even if it was a £££Billion Pound Failure... Love the photo mate, even thou it’s not your era, nice for you to put it in... Hope you are OK...

sulzer27jd Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Even if it was a £££Billion Pound Failure... APT was far from a billion pound failure. I'm sure someone on the site will know the figure but the amount spent on it was in real terms very little. It also spawned many separate advances that have found there way into current rolling stock. At the same time as BR were developing APT on a very limited budget, the French really were investing billions in their infrastructure. Who did best out of those two choices? In fact if the many millions that have been paid in subsidies from the privatisation fiasco had been invested in the railways, we probably wouldn't have the shambles of a network that we have now. j 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mod5 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Gentleman I have just had to remove two quotes from the above two posts as they contained the complete post and photo that they were referring to This is not needed and was discussed at length here. Just to recap there is no need to use the Reply using this quote button. If you do it copies everything including any pictures which means that everyone who reads the thread then has to trawl past the copied posts just to read the next one. Please could the quote button only be used if you need it. If in doubt as to whether this means you then you could do me a huge favour and read the post highlighted above.

Even my wife, who's never very impressed by model railways, knew at once where this was and thought it was a superb picture.

westerner Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 A couple of pix trying to recreate two of Ben Asworth pictures hence B&W I know the scenery is not correct but loco type and stock is-ish. I think that Ben Ashworth produced some of the most atmospheric pictures of rural scenes. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
