RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted January 8, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2015 No, Rob. It's a new Bachmann job courtesy of Lord and Butler. I also have a 4500 coming from the same source. That will do for me on the loco front....For now... Rob You can't have too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted January 8, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2015 Following the sad news of Wally's passing that came to my attention over Christmas, I've been trying to find his posts on this thread.As it happens he mentioned seeing Evening Star at North Road when he was a lad of twelve. Here is mine in action as a gesture of goodwill and thanks. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianusa Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Does anyone know if any USA Transportation Corps 2-8-0s worked through Brent during the war, please? Agree with Phil; definitely! I especially remember them being coaled at Laira, being one of those young (very!) kids who used to happily trespass then; I feel sorry for spotters nowadays. I was always fascinated (still am) with their American appearance which was so different at that time. They were fairly common, at least before and around D-Day. Don't know when they disappeared for good except for those preserved, of course. Glad they did that! Brian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted January 9, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) It would make a great train pack opportunity with a WW2 troop or ambulance train like Bachmann have done with WW1 Edit to say I wonder if ROCO are connected with any of the current UK suppliers, and whether the existence of an HO model makes the production of a 00 model easier?

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted January 9, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 9, 2015 It is a strange old world, when the death of my best mate when I was at school, is recognised and acknowledged by a fellow from Coventry I've yet to meet in person. I can remember Wally telling me about seeing '20 disappearing into Mutley Tunnel; I was seriously annoyed that I'd missed it. Thanks Rob; a really thoughtful gesture.

P I had no idea Wally had gone, and on checking the Obituaries, see it was in March. I never met him, but he was the sort who always added value. OTOH I have met the chap from Coventry, and we all know how much value he adds! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
