Ias looking somewhere else for something else! Anyway I have huge numbers of No 1 and No 2 Blades (fine and very fine) and WOULD BE HAPPY TO LET COUNTY OF YORKSHIRE haveo some for nowt. Phil Hi @Mallard60022, that is very kind of you, thank you. I will send you a PM. Apologies for the time taken to reply, however my grandfather passed away last month and I’ve spent some time abroad. Suffice to say my visits to RMWeb have been irregular and fleeting over recent months! P.S - keep up the good work @gwrrob! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice the nice Bulleid placed in solitary confinement. Is there no end to the barbaric treatment treatment dished out by these GWR types? I have written a strongly worded letter to my MP, so I'm confident this matter will be addressed in the House shortly. Edit, no hang on... Just realised who my MP is, so not a chance of any sensible response... 2 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted October 28, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 28, 2023 Nice to see 21C149 in malachite has its safety valves properly at the front, unlike some Hornby have released, which are simply preserved locos in old liveries, but with the boiler pressure reduced. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a dark and stormy night, and any time really, them there Shrouds were often a little different, as were the Cylinders. On the mighty Packets, they were definitely very different, depending upon The Tender Diagram, and changed during their 'lives'; this was just a cunning plot to make life awkward for them damn Modellers in the 20th and 21st Centuries. Tis true as I sit here, in misery at today's result. Arrrrr. 4 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would also be ok with GW stock with which they ran regularly with what was described as a route familiarisation working. Apparently the GW via Meldon was limited to 43XX Moguls due to clearance etc. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Right Away Posted October 29, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 29, 2023 A rather nice job indeed. Shame though, the driver’ll fail her at Plymouth when he goes round her. EXJ will have to rustle up some RH brake links and send ‘em down on the back of the next tender. Nevertheless, those Maunsells will keep her in check down Hemerdon. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
