I bet you were itching to change that smokebox door handle too.Do you get a bag of bits to fit as well.

Do you know something we don't there Steve ? My layout is supposed to be post war so I can't use the Hawksworths but the Bachmann portholes might be a possiblity but I don't think they were they were ever in LMS livery as described here http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/46371-Bachmann-lms-porthole-coaches/

Well done to Rod, I loved the fact that getting Tornado out of her box was more important than anything else lol!

I have been reliably informed that the Hornby Great Western liveried 72xx's are available from stockists other than Hornby,so you'll soon be able to see something different on this thread loco wise.I'm hoping this weekend but we'll see.If the Star turns up as well we'll have a plethora of goodies to admire.Fingers crossed. In the meantime here's 5049 'Earl of Plymouth' on the down Royal Duchy.Again.Sorry.

The Great Western livery 72xx's are in the country as there's one on ebay so hopefully mine will be here soon. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-R3123-2-8-2T-GWR-Great-Western-Class-72xx-Tank-Locomotive-7202-New-Boxed-/360688620266?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item53fab792ea http://www.anticsonline.co.uk/1238_1_20627.html

Here's Jims O gauge version.The 4mm version was under the label pocket money kits and was a reduction on the same artwork.I'm not sure they're still available but I'm sure an email to Jim would find out. http://www.jimmcgeown.com/Wagon%20Kit%20Pages/GWR%20Hydra%20Road%20Vehicle%20Wagon.html I've already been told my colour is the wrong shade but I need to know the correct number Humbrol/Revell shade to repaint it.I used French blue.

MISSING PERSONS. Two ladies from South Brent going by the names of Flora and Minnie Finching.Possibly early 50s and slightly batty and definitely easily led possibly to men of eastern leanings who don't drive engines on their proper side of footplate.Flora is known to love wearing a pearl necklace. Please feel free to enter your own caption and there isn't a reward for their return.

I haven't got the destructions but Springside give the correct Humbrol number to used if I remember.Glad to change it if given the new shade to do it.Nice memory Mike. Plenty of images on Google by the way. Just checked the Humbrol chart and I'm pretty sure I've painted it No 14 French Blue.At least its not LNER garter blue !

Back to GWR days and a 45xx leisurely shunts the yard before departing with its single coach. A farmer awaits his brand new Fordson Major to be delivered which is sitting on a nice Hydra alongside the rebranded beetle.4547 shunts the wagons before he removes the toad from the previous trip,puts it in the siding and run rounds to rejoin its coach for another trip down the branch.... Another brown vehicle of mine although credit here is to its builder Mozzer Models of this parish from the Connoisseur kit.The tractor is from the Springside kit built by me.These were brand new tractors in 1945.
