RMweb Premium Welchester Posted July 12, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 12, 2016 By the way, the 64XX is quite smart. Please cover in filth immediately before that photo bloke from Barth come over to film it. It's already covered in filth. So much so that it's turned black.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted July 12, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 12, 2016 silly me I thought you could run DCC fitted locos on DC? Yes, however only if you have magic power from a Cornish Pisky (no, I meant Pisky and not Pasty). Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted July 15, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 15, 2016 An very interesting snippet from that layout article was that a SR West Country class was spotted with a rake comprising; B set,1938 3rd, Toplight bk compo, brown vehicle tail traffic and a K32 full brake.Nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulwell Hall Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) An very interesting snippet from that layout article was that a SR West Country class was spotted with a rake comprising; B set,1938 3rd, Toplight bk compo, brown vehicle tail traffic and a K32 full brake.Nice. Brown vehicle - and other vehicles - tail traffic was rather more common that we think. Look out for the Steam on 35mm DVDs from John Huntley and see how many GWR passenger trains ran with tail traffic - even the Cheltenham Flyer (the "Fastest Train in the World") wasn't exempt as there is film of the train with various vans hung on the back. The practice continued well into BR days. Edited July 15, 2016 by Bulwell Hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulwell Hall Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 A very nice siphon g build too Gerry in the latest MRJ. Thanks - glad you like it! Glad you like Kingstorre as well - and please don't give up as the article was meant to inspire and not to discourage - that is most certainly not what was intended! And don't forget - Kingstorre is the result of over forty years of dedicated work. Gerry 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clearwater Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I've followed learned advice and also acquired the current MRJ. There's only one word for Kingstorre - magnificent And to think there's another thread moaning about lack of gwr mainline layouts David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How kind, but you don't know which ones he wanted. Anyway, I only did about six and Robert finished them off and painted them so the credit is really all his. There should be an ex Artic conversion in there somewhere. I'd like to see that finished. So is this in the latest MRJ? If so I'll get a copy if I can.

An SR West Country class - nice! ... and some GWR carriages too. Apologies, I have acquired a copy of MRJ and Kingstorre is most impressive, but don't give up on Brent Rob!, yours is a cracking model of a real location, can't wait for the footbridge. Drink!
