GWR 4-plank wagon
MarcD commented on magmouse's blog entry in Netherport - GWR 1908 7mm (mostly wagons for now!)
Plate 4 in LNWR wagons vol 1 shows the LNWR experimenting with the on 1 Dia 4 4 plank and 4 dia 2 2 plank fixed sides.the 4 plank has a paint date of 04/09. there is another photo on page 36 of a Dia 2 2 plank fixed side with a rail no date. How ever both ae ex works and do contain the dimonds on the sides which was not used aftr 1910. marc -
Dave PM sent. Marc

You could always try the new "Flippem automatic couplings" they are compatible with the Dingham but are stronger, can be used on tighter curves and have hight adjustment. They are available from Pre-Grouping Railways website www.pregoupingrailways.com Marc

I'm short of 12 how much do you want for it? Marc
-
I think there is two D299's Marc
-
Would they be the ex Hull and Barnsley or LSWR coaches? Marc
-
I saw the book on Amazon and it got mixed reviews. Does anyone recommend it? Marc
-
Is the a book on the subject. This discussion is starting things moving in my head. Marc

Does anyone know if there were simplex or ruston 0-4-0 industrial locos used in New South Wales? Marc
-
I would say it looks like a brake van but which company is a big question as there isn't enough visible to make a call. Marc
-
It's currently only available in 7mm as it is a wagon with a etched brass underframe. I am working on a printed underframe and if it works it will make a lot of my wagons that are currently only available 7mm in all other scales. So watch this space. Marc

The G&SWR also had Pig iron wagons with very strange axle box springs. Marc

I'm just missing Vol12 and I have the lot. Very useful. I haven't ordered my present yet still haven't made up my mind yet. Marc

I have tried the waterslide transfers for the Cambrian not great as they require a uniform surface with a gloss paint finish to go on and most wagons have a mat finish and in 7mm there is the additional issue of getting them to go over strapping and not cracking. I use the HMRS SR sheet for the R's for the Rhymney. Marc

It's something that has puzzled me for some years. The LMS sheet only includes English companies, apart from the LNWR. The Scottish sheet contains LMS and LNER companies The SR sheet contains LBSC, LSWR, SECR, SER and LDCR but not PD&SWJ or IOW. But as us say the English LNER companies and any GWR constituents are nowhere to be seen. The only other exceptions are CLC and the M&GN which do appear on the LNER sheet. In the Defence the transfers were originally produced by PC models and they were bought by the HMRS. Marc

No worries Marc

Jamie Which sheet? as I have one of my kits to do. Marc
-
I have few photos of them. A few in Yorkshire as you would expect but two in Barmouth Junction. All 5planks with steel under frames. Marc
-
The look like midland 3planks! Marc

I don't think it's a Cambrian wagon as the bolts are in the wrong position. It could be an early GWR 2 plank there is one in the big white book of wagons that is pretty close. Very little is known about them apart from the build date of 1875-80. I'm not a GWR wagon expert so I wait to be corrected. As for some of the smaller Welsh companies they did have a tendency to copy GWR designs so it could be one of them. Marc
-
That is the company but the wagon was a shorter and had wooden body. Marc
-
I will dig out my copy. Marc
-
I was thinking of 1914-23. Marc
-
The wagon turntable was kept in use until the end of rail operations. The point at the end of the loop was removed at some point in the 1930/40's from what I can ascertain. Marc
