Thanks. So with a crazy Kriegslok at uk o, obtained some years ago from a GOG member, and a usa tank coming, an old mth sd24 looks like it was scaled down to UK gauge for the Kennedy, hence small size. Compared to the massive coal wagons.... did the want to send to UK as well?!?! Scaling the MTH from 1.48 to 1.43.5 its a shoe in. Just need a cheap old model... Perhaps the transfers can be upscale....

The email is defunct...hopefully will return one day.

In fact here it is

A recent trip to investigate this led to much inspiration. The coal mine with a narrow gauge on a shelf above. USA ta k, the last 0-6-0t and the last Kriegslok. GE Short cabs still existing, Big GMs and narrow gauge steam and hydraulics, surely a modellers paradise. Particularly a station made from a 20ft container but with a wooden and corrugated material swiss cottage roof, it's a spotters paradise.... Any info gratefully received, particularly and 3d models the NG wagons, Narrow gauge locos....

62 125 in Bosnia is now the world's last I'm service 0-6-0T. Was active yesterday shunting wagons! Going to have to get one of these!

Ruston 88DS In O, By Accurascale
D6332 replied to Accurascale Fran's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
My completed layout is going to have authentic chocolate smell. Great choice -
Lime green with a Western on one engine sound track for me. Though iirc when looking at the original NBL blueprints the cab had 10000 sized 800 and LMS on the bonnets like 10000. A great never ozza for the LMS modeller, as it took years to build!

Does anyone know what is a Northern swoosh livery please?

Indeed the video images of Gorton built 5088 at the S&D 100th celebrations in 1925 seem to confirm the Gorton Apple green with a white line on the black frames I would say this is in Apple Green but the frame is black, and it is lettered LNER not l&ner lined Indian red, but unsure what do you think? I bet this loco impressed the North Eastern men, and led to the order for up there... it also has the side cab windows...be a good model...

Fascinating. I have looked at the plans for the first NER square roundhouse which was at Selby, it was known as Engine Stables rather than shed in 1870!

NER Goods Livery - W Worsdell era repaints
D6332 replied to Edwardian's topic in UK Prototype Questions

Thankyou for h Thankyou so much for clearing up this breadcrumb. So the were NER era restrictions, another I've found d were 4 wheel coaches until the incline was shut. These were hauled by a delightful 0-4-4 tender locomotive rather like the NBR ones... Then the NER restrictions above. The pair of BS suburbans is indeed the photo and we must assume a shorter wheelbase of 57 foot was to do with Whitby platform 3? Fascinating!

How long after the Grouping for Engines to be Repainted?
D6332 replied to a topic in UK Prototype Questions
The NER And GNR kept their own shades But I thing Darlo greenness not NER Saxony Green but hard to tell. 2400 did the trial vs the A1 Pacific in full NE livery As an aside, the M&GN had a dark chocolate engine lurking g long enough for a colour picture but they joined the grouping in 1936, but the phot is said to be 1947! -
Thanks for above.. In railway memories 19 there is a phot o f end of a coach, it has in very large type MALTON WHITBY it states they were restricted to 45 foot coaches until tight curves were eased by the LNER after which larger locos and longe roaches were allowed. It doesn't give details of the coaches or when sadly. Wonder if it was when part was singled, but pure speculation. Really, the interest is in the coaches
-
Hi the NYMR had restricted coaches right into BR days when curves were eased. About 46 feet ish. Does anyone have any details or information on the secret story? Many thanks

It's definitely being converted to 1500volts DC and joining 26510 as a Wath banker... looking at her the other week you can still see the 26500 number clearly under the paint and the lion too. The flamecut numberplate from 26501 turned up on a dig recently and was auctioned too! .mmm think 26500 in green and a renumbered black 26501 are they not doing any 26501?!?

Gauge wars... 0 gauge was 1:45 based on 1.25 inch track to 4ft 8.25" It was that silly metric system that muddied the waters, so we have 1:43.5 ,1:48 and 32mm O gauge and Scale 7 diehards at 33mm which is almost right as 32.98mm is correct! So a true Irish 3'gauge is simpler at 8/10 inch track 1:45 021 is hard, and 0 16.5 is way off!¡ So Triang 1 to 100 gave a track gauge of 9/16 inch. There

Also Midland 0-4-4t was used with 4 Clayton coaches for the inaugural passenger runs. Thes, one of the company 0-6-0ST had a vacuum pipe fitted and I have a picture, so it may well have ran into Leeds Station!

The Model is good. The Loadhaul looks a bit too clean woo!!!
