RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted March 29, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 29, 2018 A nose job for starters.. TrevorHall_inWorks_05.jpg Smoke number plate, shed code plate and part molded smoke box door handle removed for starters - smoke box door re-profiled and new door handles fitted. ..and replacing the cabside straight handrails, with the L shaped ones. Shade of green looks decidedly off to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 29, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2018 I stll have not found any pics of 47XX being diverteretated through SJ. Good job really as my P has cost me a few pennies. I really need treatment for this loco obsession. Anyone want to see my P? Andy Sample. Just as well as the were not permitted over any route which could have got them onto that bit of railway, not even between Exeter GWR at bottom of the hill and Exeter SR at the top of the hill let alone as far as exmuff junction. The nearest they could get was Basingstoke (but no further weston the Suffern, Westbury but not allowed between there and Sailsbury, and Castle Canary but not allowed between there and Yeovil. Accordingly I have just saved you a considerable sum of money so you could have another P or even buy a proper engine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accordingly I have just saved you a considerable sum of money so you could have another P or even buy a proper engine. There is the apocryphal tale of the station foreman at Liverpool Street in the late 1940s who rang Control: "I thought 8-coupled engines were barred from Liverpool Street." "That's right, why?" "One's just arrived." "All right, we'll get rid of it." "By the way, I thought all loco numbers had five figures now." "Yes, that's right." "Well, this one's got a bl00dy great brass plate on the side with 4704 on it." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
