RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted November 23, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2014 'Takes a big gulp' Brassmasters detailing kit for the Hornby 72xx.You do get a lot for your money.A winter project perhaps.I also bought another coach but that's a present off swmbo and had to be given up. I bought one of those yesterday - interesting coincidence. And I see from your pics the 'King' on the Hornby stand was facing the opposite way today and it wasn't derailed (it was yesterday. I must admit i saw that Agenoria 1366 and thought of Spams, not sure why - but I did notice that the cab floor is wrong in the Agenoria one! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel newling Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Me too a 72xx easichas and a set of Gibson wheels to go with it. Got a promise at the Hornby stand that the next batch of GW 72s will be with us early in the new year - for what that is worth! :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Sidecar Racer Posted November 24, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 24, 2014 Talking of Danish friends.Heljan said it's too early to ask what liveries and numbers on the 47xx. I would guess there will be green ones , numbered between 4700 and 4708 , and maybe some in black with the same number options . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianusa Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I would guess there will be green ones , numbered between 4700 and 4708 , and maybe some in black with the same number options . What about tenders; large or small? I always thought they looked better with the bigger tenders for such a large loco. Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought they looked better with the bigger tenders for such a large loco. Brian. Mine came with both sizes - and the little one looks even smaller behind a 47XX. Let's hope it's a big one, unless you are of an Edwardian bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 25, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Don't talk about Edwardian brent on ANTB.......................it could cause distress. Anyway, after extensive research by ChrisF (what a star he is, or maybe just a particularly helpful and very well disguised assistive android....who knows?) I have the information that The Westward Television Exhibition Train of 1961 would have passed through Seaton Junction (see earlier post regarding COT). That's the really exciting news (oh yes it is....). Sadly Interestingly even more exciting for me and Spams is that it would have probably been hauled by 30120 from Weymouth to Exeter Central on March 12th 1961 and maybe even 30582 from Yeovil....uuummmm! It was certainly looked after by 30582 at Exmouth although it would appear that 30120 supplied steam heating.....work that one out........(had 30582's pipes been ripped off ready for scrapping its departure to Eastleigh ....... LE east through Seaton Junction)? What happened to COT whilst the train was lost to the SR areas is not recorded, however it did appear at Exeter Central by March 13th, to be placed on the train, facing east and I have the photo's to prove it. Presumably it rested at the WR shed at St David's, or maybe Taunton whilst the SR played with the train elsewhere? Alternatively it could have run from Yeovil PM to Central as a LE move........so a COT in 1961 livery might be on the cards? Any ****** excuse she has just shouted.......... Yes dear, I respond endearingly....... Good morning Mad fowl from 36E Edited November 25, 2014 by Mallard60022 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you mean Georgian - the 47XX got their large tenders between 1932 and 1933, King Edward didn't come to the throne until 1936 (not that he was ever crowned of course).

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted November 25, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Let's hope it's a big one, unless you are of an Edwardian bent.Here we see Lord Peter Smythe-Buttock on the occasion of his 40th birthday holding the lillies presented to him by the South Brent Ladies Tapestry Union. Lord Peter never married but was accompanied everywhere, including his many trips to Paris, by his faithful man servant Dicky. Lord Peter was to fall in battle at Mons at the age of 45 whilst leading his territorial cavalry unit, The East Devon Light Ferreters. The action was later described as a glorious, fool hardy,cavalier attempt to outflank the advancing Huns. Lord Peter disregarding his own safety, rode into the midst of a German infantry unit in order to save Dicky who had become isolated whilst trying to retrieve Cecil, the regimental albino ferret. Lord Peter fell at the hands of a German Uhlan patrol who took him unawares from the rear. Witnesses later recalled him shouting; "Angaben merken Dicky!!!!!" Lord Peter was later awarded a posthumous MC. Rob Edited November 25, 2014 by nhy581 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
