Oh, that's spoilt it for me now.

 

I was looking forward to watching that and now there's just about no point.

 

That's stolen that magic moment of surprise.

 

You've ruined my day and I have now lost the mojo to turn the TV on.

LSWR Non-Corridor ?

[Mallard60022]

I think they are NC and Roxey Mouldys have kits for them I believe. Unsure if they are LSWR but you are probably right. SEMG might have soem info as I believe these were used on the Portland Branch for years.

I have some of them lovely Roxey kits in 'the stash'. As long as they stay unbuilt they will be lovely and I'll look forward to building them

Love the haphazard look of the coaches, sort of design by committee or bodge it and scarper. I can see some older period LSWR coaches like these appearing on Pencarrow in due course.

I think you meant Isle of Portland.. Good little article though and thanks for linking it. The Portland Branch is one that Julia Bradbury walked some time ago. Ummmmmm.

Heading up the bank for Sidmouth with Tipton St. Johns to the rear and the Exmouth line running "parallel" in the background. (28/02/65)

 

There is also a splendid pic of the unusual double heading combo of 41206 and 4666 at Tipton St Johns on the following weekend's tour, accompanied by some slightly more depressing photos, here:
