Hey, thanks everyone for all your help. Now to pull them apart and get it done.

Cheers, Derek.

Yep, that's it.

Cheers Hal. Now to get to work.

Derek.

I do not know what the seating colours in the Lionheart models are. My recollection and suppositions of dingy maroon-red and dingy blue are possibly faulty, and I am happy to defer to Lionheart's portrayal, which is probably better researched. Pete Speller (K14 here) of the GWS might be along soon to provide better gen.

coach sides. Roof inside is grey and one partition wall is PCB green, that is the one that holds the socket for the

roof lights. Yep, a bit wrong!!!. but easily put right.

Cheers, Derek.

There is a little bit of interior stuff in http://www.gwr.org.uk/liveries1/baugh.pdf. From recollection, partition walls were cream, and the upholstery was a dingy (and filthy) maroon-red. I never went in first class, but I suspect the upholstery was probably a dingy blue.

Been looking on the net all day for at least a photo or two. But no luck.

Cheers, Derek.

Hi everyone, need to find colors of interiors of B and D sets in BR days. Going to detail

the interiors of my Lionheart sets. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers all, Derek.

Thanks Chris, much appreciated.

Derek.

Thanks Richard, I will check them out.

Cheers mate, Derek.

This may be a clearer image?  Dated to 1957.

Cheers, Derek.

Hi Richard, what was that last speaker again? The O gauge one. That sounds great.

Cheers, Derek.

Hi Chris, finally got around to hooking up my controller on a piece of track to run my new Pannier.

Just want to say, It's awesome!! superb running and sound. Many thanks on a sensational model and postage to

Australia. I know it has been a while, but I thought you would like to know what I think.

Cheers mate, Derek.

P.S. I guess I had better get another soon.

I have also seen something about the roof ends but again, can't find it. So, if anyone knows, can they link it?

 Thanks all, Derek.

From memory the Lambourn branch was never worked by a B-set. There were several ground level halts so they tended to use an autocoach because of its retractable steps, but in non-auto mode. Loads of tail traffic too.

Hi Wagonman, I have numerous pics of what looks like D109 ex B and D set coaches in BR days, 50s, which is the period I will model. In later years they were broken up from their formations and standard buffers fitted so they could be run as singles or formed up. Some of the pics show the two brake ends together which looks weird. Yes they did run non fitted auto coaches and also ex slip coaches too. Yet to find dia numbers on those.

 They also ran a variety of stock as fillers too, between the D109s. Not sure if they ran the later D147s with standard buffers, just no pics yet.

Cheers for you help, Derek.

Hi Derek,

Some discussion and modification starting about here:

http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/57823-lion-heart-trains-rtr-in-o-gauge/?p=2675408

It's mixed in with other Lionheart items but primarily relating to modifying the tail lamp and door drop light position.

I have the GWR Birmingham 4 coach set, planning some passengers and probably a little light weathering but delighted with mine.

 

Regards, Gerry.

Cheers Gerry, thanks for that. I had seen it but could not remember where. The windows in the down position looks good. Might have to do that.

  Yep, they do look pretty good. Order some next week I reckon.

Thanks mate, Derek.

Hi guys and girls, new to 7mm looking at building Lambourn Station.

  Wondering on peoples opinion on the Lionheart/Dapol D109 B set coaches and lining removal on the Maroon coaches. Also has anyone seen fit to make any improvements, as they look great to me.

   Thanks in advance for any of your help, Derek.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your input.

Cheers, Derek.

WOW! Thanks Chris, that's a big help. Am I correct in saying that the suburbans were E147 run individually with the brake ends together? Or am I wrong? What do you think?

Cheers bud, Derek.

Thanks again Froxfield, it's a bit hard huh? Ah well, I will study on.

Thanks Froxfield, I have seen that post you mention and have a few leads from it, but would love to find out what diagram that auto coach was. Apparently it was not run as auto fitted as far as I can make out and the brake third coaches were run with the brake compartments together from photos.

As far as 'link it', what do I link it to? Not really up with the site yet.

Hi guys, this is my first post, bit of a newbie.

 I'm looking at modelling Lambourn station in the 50s in 7mm. I'm finding it hard to identify the passenger stock from old photos and was wondering if anyone could possibly help with diagram numbers. It seems that towards the end there was the odd MK1 suburban. I'm not really interested with the railcar, but it looks like there was an autocoach of unknown diagram. 

Any help would be appreciated, cheers, Derek.
