buffalo Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 A full cab longer wheelbase type no 1870 was seen at Bath in August 1934 and 41708 has been seen at Bitton in more recent years but that's the closest I can get... Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted March 12, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 12, 2013 Agreed, no evidence of the 1Fs in any of the books I've got... sadly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruciethefish Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 The 'Scotties' were effectively a tender version of this class, but that's about as near as these got... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold queensquare Posted March 27, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 27, 2013 1870 and particularly 1874 were the regular resident shunters in the Midland road yard at Bath (I'm building 1874) in the 1920's. They would have occasionaly been used on banking turns (although the SDJ Fox Walkers would have been more common) up Bath bank and probably trip workings to the Co Op siding and May's siding but, like others, I've never heard of them venturing further south.

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted March 27, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 27, 2013 Happily, I think they must have been active on the Midland main line between Bristol and Gloucester, plus branches... (but only the P4 ones...) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(but only the P4 ones...) 41706 - half cab - how convenient - and the longer wheelbase 41879 were both shedded at Bristol in the early 1950's....................

Dazzler Fan Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 As a follow on:-Did the LMS Ex Midland Johnson 2-4-0 reproduced by Ratio ever run on S&DJR. ... (but only the P4 ones...) LOL. By happenstance I have this kit someone has tried to convert to P4, and I will restore it to bog-standard OO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure which one of the 2-4-0s the Ratio kit represents but they certainly ran south of Bath on the SDJ. I know of at least one picture that shows a Johnson 2-4-0 heading north near Wellow as pilot engine on the Pines - mid 1930s. They were of course common at Bath where, along with the 0-4-4Ts, they worked the majority of the Bath, Bristol locals as well as arriving as pilot locos on trains from the midlands.
