Waraqah Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 This time last year I was at the Derby Show. This time this year I'm not, however I am reminded of the splendid latest GWR lamps from Modelu (he is there if you hurry). Station Shot is great Rob. More of infrastructure please. The pick up freight is a great idea, however being an ar$e I would prefer a large Prairie (sorry your Hillness). Argyle 10/3 for the Play Offs..............stupid t**s could have had auto promo if they had been any good. Another season in the wilderness looms sadly. Phil Look on the bright side, Phil. At least it gives Rob the opportunity to do a football special carrying the Green Army to Wembley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont need one for the Pirates, but can we have one next week for FGR? TONY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post gwrrob Posted May 8, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2016 The Castle has come from Exeter and has the Kingsbridge coach on it ready to detach. This will be picked up by the prairie but not today. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cary hill Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) As luck would have it Hornby's fire sale and events in the sporting world have coincided, so I have acquired a Hornby B17 Footballer and King for only £175 instead of near to £300. Whilst waiting for some "Leicester City" and "King Richard III" nameplates to arrive, I thought I'd try to fit the headboard, which was kindly provided by LCFC yesterday, to the Footballer: Alas I think it must be meant for O Gauge...... No more hijacks ..... Edited May 8, 2016 by cary hill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianusa Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 The 'quiet period' at Brent was just right for s Sunday morning (over here anyway). You can savour the atmosphere; fire in the grate, teapot keeping warm and the clang of the bell from the signal box. Soon the signalled train will thunder through Brent non stop and the quiet period will return for a while. Brian. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulgabill Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I take it the Pirates = BRFC? You left it late, didn't you? Got any fingernails left? Yes I can still pick up fiddly modelling bits. I work on the basis that if you expect the worst, you are rarely disappointed. I was quite elated to hear of the "winner" followed by an agonising wait for Acrrington's game to finish. But I was driving at the time so nails are intact. My six year old grandaughter has this season become an ardent Forest Green Rovers fan, which means we have a trip to Wembley next Sunday. O for their being able to run a "football special" up the Nailsworth branch for us. Incidently I see Crystal Palace are running a steam hauled footex to Southampton on Saturday!

RMweb Premium Tim Dubya Posted May 9, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 9, 2016 Talking of Pirates, we always knew we weren't far from getting to 'the outta laws' when we could pick up Pirate FM (me hearties!). Radio at its finest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted May 10, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 10, 2016 I want to know the source for the writing on the ends.Is there a drawing perhaps. It may be something that was on all of them but: 1. Carriage washes were "sides only" so ends got grotty quickly. 2. People photographed engines and not coach ends in the days when photos were sparingly taken compared to todays digital age. Lots of detail we have today comes form things in the background of engine photos. Like the huge churn stack photo on the previous page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not. Illustrated is a D109 Brake third which were part of a 4 coach set (B 3rd Compo, Compo B 3rd). The equivalent 'B' set E140 does not have the tell tale end windows seen in the images.

Mike Wiltshire Lionheart are actually producing two and four coach sets. The four coach sets will be as you've stated above, while the two coach sets will be a pair of E140 coaches.

chrisf Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 We've discussed this before. In the Birmingham division the description 'B set' eas applied to 4 coach suburban sets. What the rest of the civilised world knows as a B set was a D set in Brum. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to do some board building, track laying and wiring first though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
