Edwardian Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I suppose I must regard myself as predominantly interested in pre-Grouping railways, hence my abiding fascination for the Great Western in the 1930s, and this leads me to skulk in all sorts of odd corners of this web-site (as Blue Dieseasels, growl around outside my sanctuaries, attempting to sniff me out). One of these obscurantist journeys has lead me to the North West Frontier of British India at the turn of the Twentieth Century, where I discovered a possibly familiar face. Could they be related? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Tim Dubya Posted March 11, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 11, 2016 Could they be related? Yes that's my brother Sir Sidney, glad you found him. Cheers HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwenglish Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) With Rob's permission to post this picture here I was wondering if any of you can identify the stock in the picture below. I'm guessing it's all GWR, as it's inherited from my Grandpa who modelled the GWR in 00 and had started on an 0 gauge layout as well (wish my suitcase had been big enough to bring all that back with me!). What I'm wondering is what they are, what they were used for and if the liveries are correct, and if they are incorrect then what I need to do to correct them. Thanks in advance from an uneducated Southern fan! Stuart Edited March 12, 2016 by Norwenglish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwardian Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Rear to front: Monster (yes, it is a "brown vehicle"); Mink D (yes, it should be goods grey); Mogo (motor car van - again, should be grey) Both the grey goods vehicles were fitted.

Norwenglish Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Thanks for the help! Should the Monster have the GW in white or yellow? Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
