RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted December 31, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2014 Rob, it was a booked working on the Ilfracombe line - so if you renamed part of your railway empire for a photoshoot you could be spot on. That's a no from you then Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted December 31, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2014 That's a no from you then Mike. No, not a 'no' - just needs a bit of renaming round towards Tigley I think. The road knowledge workings between Exeter and Plymouth were far simpler affairs as they were mainly (all?) on local(ish) trains so were light loads and didn't need double heading - the Western and Southern engines simply worked the other Railway's/Region's trains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sausages consumed but a slice of a very nice pork pie went down very well and I'll be going back for more.Andsome as they say in Devon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted December 31, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 31, 2014 I wish you all a happy new year ! A glass of apple juice as a toast. To 2015.

Andy M Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 A couple of questions re 1361s and Brent. Were they overhauled at Newton Abbot or Swindon? The short answer is both. The 1361's were regular visitors to Newton Abbot Factory, with all five class members passing through for attention over the years. 1362, 1364 and 1365 were allocated to Newton at various dates and as such were shopped there the most. For 'Heavy General' works visits most loco's were summoned to Swindon, though Newton Factory was tasked with the major overhaul of such small tanks (especially pre-war). I suspect they were transferred for works visits as part of a freight consist (Plymouth to Newton) but would probably have needed the rods removing for the trek up to Wiltshire. Regards and a Happy New Year to all, Andy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted December 31, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2014 A very pleasant selection of cheeses washed down with copious amounts of Woodfordes Bure Gold bitter. To be followed by Jools Holland s hootenanny. Happy new year Rob and all here who follow him. I hope to have some trains running myself in 2015, if I can get anywhere near the quality of modelling and banter we get on here I'll be well happy. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted January 1, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Happy New Year everyone, Mrs Stationmaster started the year with a proper job breakfast for the family (I wonder if we'll get another one this year?) and will no doubt continue occasional pasty production in order to make the rest of you lot jealous. In the meanwhile let's hope (well some of us hope) that no trains from the north side of Dartmoor will get lost round the south side and that Swindon's finest will continue to remain supreme to the delight of the Finching gals and other residents of Brent.

Coombe Barton Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 If Gerald would like to call around personally, he can discuss it with Jasper the dog! Last night it was reported at my son's house that the dogs were lying on the sofa watching the television and the rabbit was lying on top of one of the dogs, also watching the television. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coombe Barton Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 As Jasper is a Border Collie / Springer Spaniel cross, the gun dog / sheep hearding instinct cuts in very quickly. All wild rabbits are vigorously pursued, as are pheasants!!! The one the rabbit was lying on is a lurcher. Their other dog is a springer/collie cross. I am very surprised how they associate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
