leopardml2341 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I think a few did run like that, there is footage and other shots of them running in pink primer, would make an interesting model, either to do or if Bachmann did one Not sure which volume - but I'm sure there's a pic of a pink Hymek in one of the Bradford Barton 'Diesels in.....' series Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

APOLLO Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 For those modelling this era Hattons have currently the excellent Bachman Mk 2 FK first corridor coach in Southern region green bargain at £16. Also a maroon one at £20. Mk 1 Blue / grey buffet is a bargain also at £17 http://www.ehattons.com/32756/Bachmann_UK_39_333A_BR_Mk2_FK_First_Corridor_in_BR_Green_/StockDetail.aspx I've more or less redated my layout to 1966/7, though a bit of modellers licence has to apply here and there. I must say the Blue and Grey (and a bit of green !!) certainly adds colour to my layout more than I realised. Brit15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopardml2341 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) this is rarely done, the single DMU car at the rear. ive also seen this on a video called West riding steam with a fairburn tank heading some parcel vans with a class 101 car at the rear. c.06/1968 - Dringhouses, York. by 53A Models, on Flickr One day............soon you will.

wombatofludham Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 steam could be seen alongside these blue and grey coaches too. R1029 - Stafford by BarkingBill, on Flickr There's a dvd available which has some cine footage on it from Stoke on Trent in about 1967 with AL6s in small yellow end livery, the Manchester Pullman and Mk2 stock in b/g, and a whole smorgasbord of Standard 9fs, LMS Black 5 and 8fs, Standard and Ivatt 2MTs and Standard 4MTs, plus other footage of Stockport in a similar vein. I'm currently designing my new shed layout to be as "era free" as possible to allow me to switch between 1967, the later Rail Blue years and sector eras as, having started primary school alongside the Trent Valley main line in 1968, seeing early blue electrics with green diesels, and mixed rakes of maroon and blue/grey coaching stock is one of my earliest railway memories. Unlike those who saw decline and decay and who probably would prefer to forget this period, I could see exciting fast new electrics that were the future and modern, which left a lasting impression on this five year old! It's a wonder I learned anything at school really the amount of time I spent gazing out of the window. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I'm sure we must have had countless shots at Carnforth before on this thread, so forgive me if this is a familiar one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertcwp/3410526902/in/set-72157603653607671 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pH Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Now, I like that! Filthy, no plates - but no steam leaks visible on the engine. To me, it's a credit to the shed staff, and the best of what I remember of that time - people doing their best with what they were given, and concentrating limited resources on the important things - function, not appearance.

APOLLO Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Difficult to really see but is the Blue / Grey van just visible to the right a Royal Mail TPO van (like Bachmann's) ?

the penguin of doom Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 If I'm not mistaken, the Red square visible on the bodyside will be a posting box which some TPO's were fitted with, confirming it to be a TPO in my view.
