Trevor, Really enjoying seeing these photos. D1069 on 4A13 is the 1445 Penzance Paddington perishables, a long standing Thousand hauled train in the west country.....Steve

Great photos Trevor - thanks for posting, and if you have more, please keep them coming. The shot of D1022 and D1010 is almost certainly 1M74 1400 (ish) Penzance - Birmingham. This was usually double headed, and quite often with Westerns. The time on the clock is spot on for their arrival. They would both be removed at Plymouth for a Peak or 47 on to Birmingham... Steve

Hi Andy, Don't forget the ex WR Class 14 diesel hydraulics which were briefly transferred to Dairycoates 67/68.....operated both singly and double-headed. Cheers, Steve -
Looking forward to getting stuck into Volume 1 very soon Freddie. As a newly arrived resident in Cotford St Luke, I have plenty to learn about the Devon & Somerset. Westerns? - agreed.....;-)

One of the good folks on the Lightmoor stand at the NEC today said that Volume 2 is due about this time next year......looking forward to getting stuck into Vol 1....

As a kid born and raised in Driffield, I'm really enjoying watching this thread - many thanks to all contributors. My 'holy grail' photo-wise is to see a shot of a Class 14 hydraulic somewhere between Beverly and Brid.....I don't suppose anyone has one that would be kind enough to post do they? Thanks..... -
Thanks for posting this one Brian.I'm thinking it's D1008 Western Harrier. Circa 1973?
-
A couple of interesting shots here John. I'm not sure that there is any significance in the livery on the Thousand, but the Warship looks as though it has been kicked out into traffic part way through a repaint! Martin Street confirms the id of the Warship as D864 Zambesi
-
Gents, I have a duplicate copy of the slide of the Thousand at St Blazey with the clay wagon. (I think the Class 20 Loco Society issued it as a Colour Rail 'reject') . The loco is D1031 and the date is stated to be 30/5/73.

D7011 - Swindon ?
-
Great images, most especially those of the hydraulics. Further to Geoff's point just above, D1022 was in Swindon between April and December 1972, so helping to confirm his suggested date.
-
John, I was going to post something very similar. I have three Dapol Westerns and also three Class 22s. All run (and look) perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to buy further Dapol hydraulics should the occasion arise.
-
Nick, mine was a bit wobbly on the rolling road, but is now a super runner when on the layout. Also, when purchasing yesterday at Warley, I noticed that someone brought one back to that retailer with, I believe, a 'missing' worksplate. All in all though, a smashing model. Congrats to all at Dapol.
-
That sounds like a great idea Ed. I'm pretty sure that the diesels didn't work passenger services on the Hemyock branch, (but nothing to stop you using some modellers 'licence' !). Cheers Steve
