Anyway ,some people have asked for some bunker first shots. Here we see Newton based large prairie 4133 returning home with a short train comprising of some elderly six wheeled stock.

Those 6 wheels look nice @gwrrob - I think I would rather hold fire and splash out on the Mainline and City stock.... Or some more Comet carriages.... 😎😎... Or of course a new ***** from Accurascale 🤣🤣

Interesting Robin thank you... I wonder if they are still on course to deliver all the stock by the end of the year.... I'm guessing that the last batch (incl shirt button) will slip into Q1 next year perhaps....plus of course what are the other Toplight carriages they are doing? Do they have an eta at this stage?

 

Enjoy the show.

 

Regards, Neal.

When I was lad my Dad had a pal who had fired the leader. I can still recall him telling me how hot it was. He was used to firing the  pacifics so he knew what hot meant...

They are exceeding nice, nice bit of springing on the bogie mounts as well.

Hmm. 

 

Single track branch line.

 

150+ wagons already.

 

They'll be interesting to see, but I promise not to get all over excitable. 🤪

Only 150 - there were more than that at one time on the original section of the Malmesbury branch from Dauntsey.  Only thing was they were all coupled to each other so nothing else could move on that stretch of the branch.  They were stored there prior to be worked up to Swindon for conversion into firewood and razor blades.

OOP's you've upset the Grand Inquisitor of  the Men In Malachite - you'll soon know how hot the Iron Bullied is( something few have lived to tell the tale about).....

Thank you. That's covered both aspects of the interesting/useful button.

 

Would you mind putting it into a signed document and passing it on to Miss Riding Hood so that I can amass even more wagons?

 

Nothing to worry about, she can't hit a barn door at anything over 800 yards...

Can be found on a few other topics - one might even say there's a bunch of them. 😉

I know that feeling, from when someone commented: given that your branch joins up with the GW LNW joint line and it's set just before WW2, you would see a lot more LMS constituent vehicles.

 

I'd just managed to get my wagon kit stash down from around 150 to below 120, admittedly by building rather than selling them.

 

That went straight out of the window...🙄

Do they involve giraffes or missile launchers?

 

We'd have to ask @Ducking Giraffeabout that.

Now I fancy building a Triang ducking giraffe mechanism into a scratchbuilt GWR bogie iron mink.

Just for the devilment of it!
