RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted February 15, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 15, 2018 What's that long and hot squirty thing then? B.Lowpipe A steam lance - presumably she is Miss Lancelot? Definitely bigger than the UK version (of steam lance that is) - steam lances were fun, as long as you didn't point them at anybody. here's one being used on a proper engine - if the link works https://www.mediastorehouse.com/no-6010-king-charles-i-at-swindon-engine-shed/print/413739.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Tim Dubya Posted February 15, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 15, 2018 Perhaps cut some off the support off first Phil and test it that way, and I'd suggest a new blade when cutting the valance tabs for a good clean cut ( I'm sure you would have anyway ).

RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted February 15, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 15, 2018 I'm still reeling from the accusations that this thread is full of double entendres and ladies, so I thought I better mend my ways and post some train pictures. 4f7ee0ffd49a6380b15dc9d151a6fe99.jpg PAY-Fascinating-Color-Portrait-Photos-of-Women-Railroad-Workers-During-WWII.jpg railroads_20.jpg SHORPY_8d30409a.jpg sorry about all the ladies, they just happened to be in the shots.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted February 15, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) but I was distracted by DS 1169 (Broad Clyst Engineers' Yard Shunter; just the right size for my Warwell Wagon.) http://www.ukmodelshops.co.uk/judithedge/kit/371 Ummmmmm!

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted February 15, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 15, 2018 Any of you chaps able to help this chap? Screenshot_20180214-171247.png Ta I've done a lot of searching, including image matching on Google, but can't find it. I would say that it fairly definitely is not on the Cambrian, various things don't fit for that. It might be on a Colonel Stephens line but I can't as yet find one that matches and teh distant signal makes me wonder if it is nit one of his. The signal suggests to me that it might be in a former GER area while the crossing gates fit for GER/LNER or SR. Best I can do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted February 15, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 15, 2018 Could be The Anglias, not that I know anything about that area. Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screenshot_20180214-171247.png Ta It is Feering Halt on the Tollesbury Branch. I would have thought one of you would have sused it out sooner. Mrs M use to keep Lola the Big 'Orse at a stables that backed on to the old line and they use to ride along it. For Mike, the distant signal is for Kelvedon Low level station and the junction up to the mainline.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted February 15, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 15, 2018 Quite a cute little line to a part of Essex that most people in Essex don't realise exist. Well it is a bit bleak and barren, just like round here. It closed in 1951 except for trains too and from the jam factory in Tiptree. Nice jam. Colchester based class 04s were the last locos used on the line. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianusa Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Substantial residence as the estate agent would say. Semi Southern colours as well but I bet they have to walk a long way to get in the station in spite of the close proximity; bit of a clamber otherwise. Brian.
