Wartime black is a god send for kit building locos, at least for me...

Just tried to register on Western Thunder to have a look, but they appear to have a Invalid Domain For Site Key issue with regard to reCaptcha...

Tried Contacting them, to let them know... but... you need reCaptcha working to be able send the completed contact form!?! 🤔

Hi Peter

Turns out I was wrong! - There are pics in the SR volume but apparently the SR only built 3 of these to augment what they already had, and they were built at Ashford, largely to the same design as the SECR one that I have:

 

 

The only difference being that the SR ones did not have oil lamps and so no oil lamp pots in the roof:

 

 

For drawings and more pics you therefore need Vol.3 of the Illustrated History of Southern Wagons, which covers the SECR, and it is on p.151.

 

Hope this helps.

Tony,

Perfect, I shall add it to the list...

Appreciate you taking the time to look it up for me!

Thanks for your kind comments!

The SR ballast plough is probably in Vol.4 of the "Illustrated History of Southern Wagons" but I can't look at the moment as it is out in the railway room - I'll check tomorrow and report back.

Tony

Tony,

That would be appreciated...

Thank you!  

Peter.

I recommend Mike King's recent "Southern Coaches Survey" (OPC/Crecy) to anyone interested in gaining a greater understanding of these and other SR pre-grouping carriages.

Added to my list for books to acquire... You wouldn't happen to know of a good source/book for drawings etc for the SR Ballast Plough would you?

Superb layout, Rolling Stock and Loco's by the way, one of my favourites on here!
