hornbyandbf3fan Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 You have as much chance of seeing an Eastern engine on here as I have of seeing a Castle on Gilberts 'Peterborough North'. but if my 3864 comes back from overhaul in Margate this week, you'll definitely see that.On a freight.. Sounds good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted May 20, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 20, 2013 Rob, have you got anything bigger than a 4-6-0?? Just to humour him, how about a double header with the 43xxs? Or have we already had that? Couldn't find any when I searched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head lamps code group 8 for light engines x x o o 81C Centre and Right would be H headlamps, which Adrian says is for Freight, mineral, or ballast train or train of empties carrying through load to destination (bell code 3 4 1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cary hill Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Pish to all these positioning moves and their like, these are not the right tactics for successfully removing a "Southern" bull from a GWR china shop - you have to take the bull firmly by the horns and teach it the error of it's ways.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted May 21, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 21, 2013 You're confused? I've just been reading some 'Control'/staff/signalman transcrip from the late 50s for a Summer Saturday on the 'withered arm' - seat of pants comes to mind.......

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted May 21, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 21, 2013 Can't find a GWR lamp list at the moment only the BR one, ding ding ding. 81C Doh! just remembered one in the wagon bible vol'1 I have reason to believe that a well known member of this parish will be bringing one to website not too far away (no, not this one - and no it isn't me but I am casting an eye over the headcodes for him before he puts them up and they are in a very well presented style which is very clearly explained and includes the relevant bell signals for the quoted date). Hopefully they will appear before too long although I understand there are other things currently taking priority so we just need to be patient.

Following several requests, well this one, here's a double header with mogul action returning to Hackney Yard with a mixed freight including quite a few empties.This view is handy as I'm going to upgrade the scenics here after visiting the Green Scene stand at Railex.

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted May 21, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Some great shots and 'Baydon's' looking good on those Devon banks Thanks Mark but the Manor is so yesterday today.I'm hoping to get 3864 back soon for pulling a proper length train. I've decided I need a signature that all photographers have when you know its a shot of theirs.So I've took another rear view again complete with tail lamp in situ.

RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted May 21, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 21, 2013 Thanks very much for those mogul double header shots, Rob! This prompted me to look for prototype photos of such a feature, but haven't found any yet. It would have been quite a sight though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
