philip-griffiths Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Jinty, The latest edition of Steam Days has an article on the Hereford to Three Cocks line. while not as far as Talyllyn Junction, it does have details on traffic, locos etc. which would have mostly worked through to Brecon. regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jintyman Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Talyllyn has had a couple of new additions this last week. Please say hello to 8791 and 4679. Firstly 8791 which is a non top feed loco, built at Swindon and to traffic in Feb 1934, withdrawn and scrapped in 1963, she was shedded at 87A Neath Secondly 4679 which is another top feed loco, Swindon built, to traffic in May 1944, withdrawn and scrapped in 1965, she was a 88D Merthyr locomotive. These last two will have to have all their details added and obviously DCC sound. I've managed to view a picture of 4679 sat in Talyllyn station on a Merthyr train. this was the only one I could find as I wanted to be sure that the vac pipe run along the LH valance had the prominent flange halfway down, but after looking at the picture it hasn't, although most of the locos numbered around it had the flange as pictured below. Just goes to show that pictures help in getting things somewhat right. And a picture of the first three Panniers to serve my model of Talyllyn, all together. I still have my JLTRT 8750 to finish, plus there will be a need for a couple more along the way I'm sure. Jinty 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Prism Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I've never noticed that vac pipe flange before. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jintyman Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 I've never noticed that vac pipe flange before. Thanks. Now you do surprise me!!!! If you have a gander in the Pannier Papers books you will see that almost all of the later 46xx series had this flange, except a few, 4679 being one of them.

Miss Prism Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I don't have that particular Pannier Papers, so black mark to me (or uncontrollable sobbing...) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) Your trio of Panniers look great and they are affordable too. Thick clunky wheels and oversize splashers, I could never really take to the 00 gauge Bachmann 57XX after owning a SanCheng 0 gauge model. Anyway I dont have to anymore seeing as a Dean Goods has just bumped it off shed! Edited October 22, 2017 by coachmann 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jintyman Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Wow pannier central mate lol ,I love all the differences between them all little details Progress on the women’s waiting room and toilet area and station masters office Got some fireplaces to install next 984D0463-02A4-4974-9591-A981962A106F.jpeg 1B833833-DDB3-416F-9811-D011BB58610A.jpeg C1EA5F7C-E5C4-4242-B66D-240BD5666802.jpeg 427AEF68-00F9-425F-868C-320E6E3C3C36.jpeg B37FCFAD-45C3-49FE-9196-6915D4AC0562.jpeg Regards Brian Hi Brian, Lovely work and attention to detail as usual. Once I get my finger out and get the platforms in place, it will have somewhere to sit when it's done. Thanks mate. I don't have that particular Pannier Papers, so black mark to me (or uncontrollable sobbing...) I'm awaiting for No7 to be reprinted in 2018 as it says on the Irwell Press website. I believe there was a 64xx shedded at Merthyr or Neath in the early 60's and I do like the look of the MOK kit! Your trio of Panniers look great and they are affordable too. Thick clunky wheels and oversize splashers, I could never really take to the 00 gauge Bachmann 57XX after owning a SanCheng 0 gauge model. Anyway I dont have to anymore seeing as a Dean Goods has just bumped it off shed! Good afternoon Coachman, yes I've been looking at your Dean Goods on your Carrog thread, I also fitted one with a Zimo sound decoder for my friend, ended up hardwiring it in as the 8-pin interface was faulty. Also, did you know that Talyllyn Junction was one of the last stomping grounds for the Dean Goods, right up to 1958!!! Jinty 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinty I knew they were regulars on that minor line just down the road awhile, but it wasn't a proper GWR line so I've had the final pair drafted to Croes Newydd.

Jintyman Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) Had a day in the garage today, well up till now, then it's out this evening for some food with the Mrs. Had a bit of a play with the Pannier and put together a video of some shunting. Hope you like it, please excuse the juddering as I was doing both driving and videoing!!!! Jinty Edited October 24, 2017 by Jintyman 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jintyman Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) Nice video again ,looks nice and smooth through the 3way and slip great work Brian Thanks Brian, Yes it is smooth through the whole complex and an 0-6-0 would certainly show up wheels dropping etc. That is one of the beauties of 31.5mm (O-MF)!!! I'll have to do one with a passenger crossing train once one of the other Panniers has been fitted with sound. Jinty Edited to add that the Conflat is as built with absolutely no weight added to it at all, and it rides so smoothly through all of the pointwork.
