    If you can justify three, you can justify another four ....... to start with ! 😊

    Maybe someone's re-scheduled the 2020 April Fools Day that was cancelled 'cos of Lockdown ?

    Ash Wagon A945 lasted 'til about 1970 ....... though it's questionable whether it was ever seen other than between Neasden and Waftord Tip !!?! Unlike many other MET wagon types, none of these seem to have passed to the LNER in 1937.

    One was in the Chipmans weed killing train before finding its way to the Mad-Hints ............ and eventual oblivion.

    Mk1 in red and cream on B4 bogies - definitely preservation era ........ dirty great pylon over GWR style signals - definitely Swithland Sidings !

    KDM395.892 : formerly Dia.1915 Open Third - converted 1964, awaiting disposal 1985. ( Departmental Coaching Stock, 2nd edition )

    At first sight a bog-standard Gresley vehicle .......... but it's of North Eastern Railway origin ( with later bogies ) and had British not-so-Standard gangways rather than Pullman type : http://www.cs.rhrp.org.uk/se/results.asp http://www.cs.rhrp.org.uk/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=906

    Obviously it's easier to bend a rail in the 'horizontal' plane as it's thinner - but the vast majority of rail-built buffer stop designs incorporate 'vertical' bends.

    Nobody at Newton Abbott would have known any different !

    They're unlikely to have made them 'in house' ..... there are a number - sorry - of sources on the interweb.

    MRE2 reckoned to have "seen the colour described variously as Electric Blue, Chromatic Blue, French Blue, Nanking Blue, and XP64 Blue," ...... that Lima model looks remarkably like Wishy-Washy Blue to me ! ☹️

    Learning to play the bagpipes like Captain Mainwaring ? 🙄

    Who do I know that's recently announced some 60' ( approx.) coaches with doors recessed 'cos the bodies are somewhat wider than normal ? ...... oh, who could that be ? 🙃
  14. Wickham Green too
    Probably easier to sort out that way round anyway !

    It's not as if E1705 wasn't the number of a BR vehicle too .... even a ( Restaurant ) Buffet Car !

    The South Eastern AND the Chatham did much the same before and after the working union - to the extent that Chatham locos had 459 added to their numbers - so they followed-on from the SER series - rather than a nice round figure such as 500.

    Dirty great magnet between the rails - make sure the Kadee's not in tension an' it'll uncouple itself ! 😁

    Something like this ? - https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/brtwinjibcrane/h283569c#h13d573b4

    But they were also very good at fitting a different type of boiler during overhauls !

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ! ☹️

    Yeah - "the Her Majesty's Ship" doesn't sound right ................................. I know it should be HIS Majesty's Ship now - but I've not got used to THAT sounding right yet ! Then, away from Grey Funnel Line, it would have been quite acceptable to talk about "the QE2" or "the Canberra" ........

    Looks like teddybear fur to me - and still needs a haircut ......... not to mention another piece to cover that 'orrible grey plaster bandage in the foreground.
  23. Wickham Green too
    Maybe ? ............. if you look at other model businesses that have started in the last few years, I think the overall product bias will be towards 'modern' vehicles .......... though I 've not got a clue what a PHA, FLA or MMA might be !
  24. Wickham Green too
    I'd guess the majority of whom are interested in 'Modern Image' stuff - thus starving us 'oldies' of what we need we'd prefer ! ☹️

    '24 was on the front of the Pullmans on Friday - but the back of the train got hidden before I could see what was behind "Gwen" ! Tonbridge : 7/7/23
