The last time I saw her was in a right state at Buckfastleigh, so they've done well to get the million pounds reported. 4920 left Devon back in February 2021 and had been at Carnforth for cosmetic restoration as 5972(II) . As Hogwarts Castle, it sailed from Southampton in December 2021 so the Japanese have been hiding it for some time. I could be wrong but I understand that Warners are NOT the new owners, they just lease it. If anyone knows different I would be interested to know.

Miss Prism Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 An extract from a bad picture, but it serves the purpose. A chocolate and cream set at Princes Risborough in 1947, behind Hall 6925. The coat of arms is in an unusual place (on a door), or it could just be a coat of arms size smudge on the negative. 7 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted February 28 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 28 The thing is that this is probably the best GW rtr coaching stock made at this particular moment in time,so there is an overwhelming urge to knee jerk at the first available opportunity before they disappear and buy something that may not be quite your “period” ( if indeed there is or was such a thing ) .Decisons,decisions ! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Harlequin Posted February 28 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 28 (edited) Here's a rubbish photo of an All third in "Twin cities" livery that arrived today: It's a lovely solid model, quite hefty but not "heavy" heavy. The brake rodding is very clever. It appears to be connected from the levers at the vac cylinders all the way to both the near and the far brake "coat hanger" things (do they have a proper name?) as per the prototype. But in fact the brake rod that's fixed to the underframe threads into a little hole on the bogie and projects through so that it can slide in and out as the bogie rotates. Then another bit of rodding fixed to the bogie continues on along the same line. The internal lighting is good in the sense that it's bright enough to show the interior detailing and there's not a sign of any flicker but on the minus side it's too bright to be realistic of course, it's too "cool" coloured and it highlights all the transparent plastic edges around the glazing. My intention was to use it as a trailer for my SRM in similar livery. Hmmm, maybe I chose the wrong diagram...? And there's the bolection question...

RMweb Gold Popular Post gwrrob Posted February 29 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 29 (edited) Talking of goodies and according to Rail's there's a bumper arrival due in tomorrow from Rapido of V14/16, O11/15 and Y4's.

Star-rider Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Interesting to see the Y4's included, I'd rather lost track of their expected delivery date - they've not been showing on Rapido's schedule. It looks like there's seven items about to hit my payment card then, plus the cost of paying the wife to go somewhere so the she does not see the parcel arrive... 1 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted March 1 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 1 Excuse the poor camera phone photos but I thought I'd shew you the excellent quality of the packaging for the Accurascale banana vans. These models are really something else indeed. They are superb and look at that underframe detail. More anon. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Andy Keane Posted March 1 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1 (edited) It would be lovely to have the excuse to run some down a branch line but where these not just run direct from the ports to London? I suppose maybe they carried other traffic? Edited March 1 by Andy Keane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of this must surely have got to Devon and Cornwall in individual wagon loads. This website, Somerset Apple is also worth reading. The folk song Green Banana Johnny (Fisherman's Friends version) also refers to Avonmouth bananas. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
