  1. A King is born.Complete with a double chimney and in lined BR green too.

      That sounds like a difficult birth!

      Hopefully the next one will be blue...

  2. Anyway whilst at Railex ,a great show,I picked up this kit built beauty which is on loan from Mallard60022 of this parish.Very nice even with its double chimney.An apology here for a blatant anachronism of BR 1955 and Great Western coaches but I couldn't resist putting them together.Mk1s tomorrow perhaps.Thanks Phil.Nice to share some time with Mike [stationmaster] and meet some of the members like 46444,Captain Kernow and Chris F who contribute to this thread. Anyway its King class 6015 'King Richard Third' on the 730 train Wolverhampton to Penzance.More to come from this Wills beauty...
  3. Thanks very much Mike and yes you did watch while I bought some lamps from the Rural Railways stand for anyone else who wants some.Something regal coming later by the way after I've recovered from the Railex show ...
  4. The private owner wagons are a mixture of both kit built and rtr.Some have three links and most are weathered and have coal loads.
  5. Thats a shame.So we're in the dark my friend.What info have you gleaned from it relevant to Brent post war.
  6. Just seen Buckjumpers photo of Bucks Hill in the Railex thread.Wonderful.

      Bucks Hill is wonderful, my photo was a bit scabby! :)

  7. Ebay, the kit lady.Great service. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Springside-DA6-5-Guards-Van-Lamps-Black-00-/130748266339
  8. A final few for today including my now obligatory tail end shot. More to follow and maybe a few surprises too.
  9. Thanks 81C.Yes I have a green 72xx on order,whenever, which I will renumber to 7200 as she was based at Laira.I will put G W R on the tanks too.
  10. Its bitterly cold in the South Hams this evening but the 'spotters are still out in force to see 2884 class 3864 round the curve with a coal train bound for Plymouth.
  11. Yes they are the Bachmann offerings well weathered to get rid of the ghastly white rooves.I've had one apart and there's some decent interior detail too.Superior to the Dapol one whatever the shortcomings. GWR wartime black is on the agenda but I'm not sure with what and I agree it is an attractive livery.Never been done RTR. The Hawksworth coaches are excellent but the post war time limit isn't enough for me.Its like the Hawksworth tender that the G badge W livery on the castle coming out this year.Applicable in months of the G W R period.Thats why I have two time periods on one layout.
  12. Anyway I've finally got my repaired 3864 back from Hornby.Nearly 5 weeks wait.They must be busy for some reason.I didn't refit the transit brackets to send it to them and I had a bag of bits to refit on its return.Nothing major.My fault and a lesson learned. She will have a nice coal train to pull over the weekend but in the meantime....
  13. I think there's a photo opportunity to be had there my friend.Beautiful.
  14. Sad news of the death of a well liked Man Utd player of the 70s era,Brian Greenhoff.60 is no age is it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22631540
  15. Some Devon band called Muse are playing tonight.In my back garden !

      Nearly conjured up an excuse to come round for a cuppa! ;) It's saying something when 400 people tweeted about a fire and no-one called the fire service. Grrrr.

  16. Hasn't anyone got any photos of 1366 class panniers working this quay then. The opening bridge is the towns main attraction nowadays.
  17. Just found this nice cab detail with the slack pipe can you give me more info how to model it Phil .Cable perhaps. http://www.gwsr.com/footplate/VirtualFootplate.html
  18. Great photos Alan.Very atmospheric and inspiring too.The fireman of 4679 has spotted the camera.
