Roadrails

Someone suggested the Baby might be on The Master Cutler ! Perhaps we'll never know.

B12s ran through in 1928-9 regular! so probably... 8Fs rain in the war as LNER 06s...

Also, there is some original sounds about somewhere.

There is an early pic in Swiss and the numbers are quite different... 8000 with a hastily added 1. Later, of course, 'StandARD ' 10" NUMERALS so 8000, THERE WERE NO gwr LOCOS at 8000 EITHER SO IT FITS,

A Class 108 could use some of the DMU tooling... Some DRS Mark 2Fs and a DBSO TEA?

There is more here than the comments, so don't give up. Am look for compact in 0, where small is very large! For me it will be Huddersfax High Level, rather inspired by Halifax St Pauls, a long lingering NER/GNR/LNW joint branch with a dilapidated wooden building and lingering signals, including an NER slotted type survivor with a 2 Road Eastern Region Glasshouses depot. Loco hauled will be short, replacing DMUs as per the NER on the Middlesborough-Sunderland-Newcastle-Carlisle in the great DMU crisis. 3 coach 31,37,45,47, surely a 40/46 wriggled on too?And they need an 08 shunter release(Buxton had 08s) Household coal and TTA household fuel lingered on in many spots until 1978-84. This was when many coaling facilities closed, there were many examples included Layerthorpe,Malton,Scarboro, Whitby,Harrogate,Leyburn,Bedale, This means a lot of inspiration from the following almost lost but lived near places can be added in and are good suggestions Buxton DMUs and DPUs pushing them up the hill Ashington and Blyth Cambois( this was a TMD, no allocation but full of 37s and 56s) also saw 60s Whitby small terminus, mostly DMUs, odd special, and coal saw 40s 31s 20s Redmire Stone and DMU specials saw 20s,31s,37s,40s,47s,60s York LAyerthorpe Branch again saw Rowntrees DMU and choc, whisky, cement,coal,oil with 03/08/20/25/31 and a 40/46/47 specials, and the 04s on the DVLR, but most often a bonnet first 20. Clayton Branch(now a steam line) DMUS and coal trains of many 40,45/0,31 maybe more Harrogate line had shorter locos with Deltics ,31/4(a specific pool) 40,45,47 on split Yorkshire Pulmman, 2 wagon steel trains to Starbeck and short military trains to Starbeck Warcop as we get more 25s,40s,46,26&27 on Troop trains, but it is North Eastern PEnistone Goods, coal until the Woodhead closure, but diesel operated. Hitchin TMD is the glasshouse aka Heljan, again no formal allocation but was home to 31s and the baby Deltics., and Tinsley running shed, with Class 13s amonst many So loc wise, the full choice would be 03/08/13/20s/25s/26/27/31/37/40/45/46/47/55/56 DMU wise then, we have possibly 101/104/108/110/DPU as a staple, earlier losses the Derby units, 100/105 hybrid,114/ 120s, TPE 123/124. The Eastern region was for many years a green Derby type bubble car (until 1973) then a Dapol Bubble car- So the whole thing needs perhaps a CLass 122, Class 03 or 08 , A CLass 20/ 25, or a 31 and a 40,, maybe specials if in 00 45.55 in 1978, or say later 1983 a Class 122, Class 08, 20, 25 31/4, 46 And late 80s more color a Class 141 in Green A 20 in Thornaby bling 37/4 in Buxton colours, a 47 in some large logo but the freight will have gone by now, save depot transfers and fuel

I think there is a misnomer it was all electric, it never quite was the all electric railway! From the Steam era, and into the diesel era; we have an Eastern Region and a London Midland trippers culture! West, seems to be steam. the J11 or N5 at Dinting ran trippers to Waterside, but also Glossop, and Hadfield Coal, and Dinting shed trains for the Glossop factory, nickel ore etc. This became a 3F or 4F in 1962. Also a Stanier 8F & B1 pictured at Dinting on the Ballast and a Lobster at Old Dinting goods. The Branch ceased in 1965 and the Dinting trains the end of 1967, alonmg with the yards closing 1966. Did diesels ever take over? Don't know, but latterly pictures of 25s, 40s, 31s delivering engines to Dinting. East seems to have had J11 trippers, possibly to Deepcar, and maybe the pick up, but photos are very few. This was certainly 76s after Tinsley opened. There are trippers at Oughtybridge with 31s for sure. A slide of a Blue 08 at Dunford West turned up recently, there are pics on the electrification trains. Then HAAs were delivered to Penistone from Dodworth, 15 in a rake with varying diesels seen,20s 37s 45s,56s, 31s,47s on the last mile of the Wath Branch. Penistone old goods remained for coal until the last day, sometimes 20s, a 37 picked up 2 "cripple" 16T wagons on the last day. Dunford East had Ballast Trippers from Sheffield including single 20s, 25,31,37,47,48(!) upto about 1973. Plus DMUs on the Penistone-Sheffield part and 40s on the odd Manc-Sheffield passenger, and a mixture of Stratford 31,37,47 on the Boat Train, At the bitter end pairs of 37s did the Freightliner, replacing earlier 47ss, and some of the lastdays trains were 37 picking up duff wagons at Penistone via Dodworth, but descending the Worsborough bank on return, 45001 doing 2 trips Dodworth to Penistone, A Class 114 DMU up from Wath to film the Branch, a Class 104 a week previously down the mainline on an officers special. Later on in the darkness Freighliner 2x37s, a 47 and one 56 through the tunnel! Fantastic.

I would only buy a model which exists. I know that might mean less models but where has say the Baby Deltic gone in 7mm scale, I cant recall if orders/money were taken or not now but it has vanished from the website. His models are brilliant but remember its a 6 figure sum to make a model- some business assistance paid for may help.

The DCC Sound will not be of the right engine though am I right?

That's great, thanks very much. These are the pics I found, hopefully someone knows a bit more about what they spawned from, the more pics, the merrier! https://www.flickr.com/photos/tractionart/7410092504/in/photolist-chNEkA-dFqbvz-cA1vMq https://www.flickr.com/photos/tractionart/8322342603/in/photolist-chNEkA-dFqbvz-cA1vMq/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/tractionart/7604785502/in/photolist-chNEkA-dFqbvz-cA1vMq/

Hi, I am hoping to build a model of this to run, its fascinating and provides an excuse to run diesels. 3 flickr photos have turned up, it appears to be 4 or more Gresley coaches and a cable winder which looks like the same as on original GNR type 6 wheel coaches used to electrify the line. It was kept at Penistone, pics include 31308 and 08052 hauled it at least once. One coach had at least one pantograph in the Woodhead style. Anyone know anymore? Thanks...in anticipation

Hi the MAN engine at Bo'ness was also in VANQUISHER and RAPID have painted one side the container Maroon FYE with some D838 logos and a BR Herald.

Because of semaphores, signal boxes, trip workings, and each region having very distinct identities because of old, old infrastructure despite the Blues. Think GWR hydraulics(ok missed this one sadly-other than a green 818) then HSTs, AC WCML, LMS 3rd rail Liverpool, Manchester Victoria L&Y 504s ECML, MML Peaks, SECR slimjims and Hastings, LBSCR slam door 09/33/ 73, LSWR 50s, GER units, striped 31s silver roof 47s, Woodhead Gresleys, 104s to Buxton, Coal freight Big diesels, hump shunters,Midland/LNE different locos, Scottish BRC&W/37s/push pulls. Visiting each region was different totally. But blue, and British too. It was to hide the differences...
