    Not 'alf as old as those of us wot remember Deltics ....................................
  2. Wickham Green too
    Nope - that's a Bulleid - as is the Restaurant Car ...... the Open Second IS a Mk1. Wonder what the roof boards said - obviously on display for some reason.
  3. Wickham Green too
    Indeed - there's a bit more width there ........ Farringdon would be even better with multiple levels and a junction - though the roof would be problematic.
  4. Wickham Green too
    T'other wagon's of interest ..... looks to have inside diagonals to a four-plank body and a 'P' prefix number.
  5. Wickham Green too
    I think Mr.Brunel's how-on-earth-do-we-get-this-round-corners innovative track gauge got truncated !
  6. Wickham Green too
    Another former SECR loco - goodeeeeee !

    Whatever route code applied to 'between terminus X and shed Y' would have had to be accommodated - and that would probably have been ( a tiny ) part of 'between terminus X and coastal resort Z' so would have necessitated the same code unless it qualified for its own.

    Thought there would be so I chose not to get depressed ..... apart from which there are so many different sleeper types on there it would have taken ages to go through the lot !

    http://www.cs.rhrp.org.uk/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=4 ..... "no immediate importance" ( unless it becomes the only survivor )
  10. Wickham Green too
    Probably not - Sleepers were not unknown at Kings Cross but only when Euston was out of action : - 20/4/19

    10' wheelbase, steel underframe, ...........
  12. Wickham Green too
    ... and, without checking, the twelve-wheelers probably not much better.
  13. Wickham Green too
    Not the most exciting model, though .................................. unless you fancy a diorama of a class 33 smash ! ☹️ ...... but probably more exciting than between North Hanover Street and North Frederick Street.
  14. Wickham Green too
    No doubt there were still a few surviving bits of 4469 on other locos - but probably not any blue bits !
  15. Wickham Green too
    Definitely no access to the 'Trianon Bar' ......... the twelve-wheeled iteration was resting at Lowestoft North as a Camping Coach while the eight-wheeler had become the 'Nightcap Bar' on the LMR by that time.
  16. Wickham Green too
    That's the one !
  17. Wickham Green too
    Another Sleeping Car that made it into preservation but has since made it into razor blades or bean cans. ☹️

    Didn't the Diesel Hydraulics have those peculiar Western sideway-on lamp irons ? ..... must've made finding suitable lamps in Scotland interesting !!?!

    Both colours were supplied by Gloucester R.C.& W. - according to photos in Keith Montague's book ........ possibly a change from black to purple brown some time between 1898 & 1909 - though it may not have been simply a matter of date.

    I like that comment about it being "a regular-sized van" ..... maybe it was, but it seems to have a very irregular sized platform lift on the roof !
  21. Wickham Green too
    The Rivers had 2000 gallon tanks - and 'J' class very similar - while the 'L' class had 2,700 gallon initially and a little less when modified ....... even the 3500 gallon tenders of the 'U' class rebuilds gave a comfortable increase. ( Perhaps a little surprising that the - very non-standard - 'J' class survived so long ...... and their SECR namesakes, for that matter.)
  22. Wickham Green too
    Must be minor - one guy staring into space and t'other asleep on the third rail !
  23. Wickham Green too
    ... even when still on page 1 ! 😎
  24. Wickham Green too
    About the right colour for a Great Western Crocodile anyway !
  25. Wickham Green too
    Apologies - I hadn't read http://www.cs.rhrp.org.uk/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=952 fully and overlooked the words "at Eastleigh until 1973 then to Cranmore." ...................... must admit I didn't recognise the buildings as Cranmore - an' I was there in June ! ☹️
