HeavyDuty Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Many places over the years, but most recently MRJ 150. Thank you - I may actually have that issue, I recently bought a large selection of older MRJs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talltim Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Isn't age a terrible thing? I think if that as one of the newer issues! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDuty Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 MRJ 150 was a good read, but I'm still looking for information on appropriate tank wagons. Would the Bachmann Brassworks wagon be appropriate? http://www.hattons.co.uk/images/products/Y650.JPG I see these occasionally on the evil auction site, and while they are not inexpensive I would only need two or three.

NS Peak Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 A bit ? - wasn't Snape worked exclusively by J15s ? or were E4s allowed as well ? STEVE OK, a bit of understatement.... I have seen a photo of an E4 on the Suffolk Venturer railtour at Snape so its possible, but mostly it was a J15 from Ipswich shed (the last offical goods from Snape was 65389 which was a regular.) Adrian, the banning of locomotives over the waggon turntable explains why the siding was cut back somwhere before 1949. I also think the stack of coal by the engine shed is a work of art....

EddieB Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Hadleigh is certainly an attractive prototype. Despite the branch line closing to both freight and passenger in the 1960s, the station buildings survive and achieved Grade II Listing status in 1988. It would appear that parts of the former maltings have been fairly tastefully converted into town houses. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Hadleigh&hl=en&ll=52.041014,0.960436&spn=0.000026,0.02444&sll=51.528642,-0.101599&sspn=0.664695,1.564178&oq=hadleigh&hnear=Hadleigh,+Suffolk,+United+Kingdom&t=m&z=16&layer=c&cbll=52.041014,0.960436&panoid=oKWy9TnFqoW4QOR_w7oSNA&cbp=12,180.01,,0,0 Here are some views of the former station that I took in February 1977.

HeavyDuty Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Those photos will come in very handy, Eddie! I'll be freelancing a location, but want that kind of flavor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDuty Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 I've had a shifting of gears over the last year and a half - I came to the realization that doing this in 7mm is both out of budget and would require more time to complete than my remaining life expectancy. So, I've downgraded my 7mm plans to something smaller and am continuing on with this East Anglian maltings concept in 4mm instead. Still ca. 1960, I can ship malt both bagged and in covered hoppers, correct? Would something like the new Bachmann GRAIN be appropriate? I'm sure this is a basic question, but distance modeling with no frame of reference can be challenging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiDAS Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Even in 4mm the maltings are quite a large concern. We used a model of the Maltings at Baldock to cover our fiddle yard operations. The wagon turntable at the end was OK but we never got Dobin to work properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERGE Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I remember the prototype providing a fair bit of light and even more warmth for a whole evening despite the best efforts of the fire brigade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
