As another who grew up in Calne in the 40's - 50's and several of my family in the 'porker' business either as farmers or in the bacon factories. one of my uncles was involved in the Redruth factory of Harris's, before returning to Chippenham. As they were making sausages in Redruth - they wouldn't be sending them to Cornwall from Calne. 'Coals to Newcastle' using the wrong metaphor!

i was so busy working on the 'proper' chocolate and cream coaches that I hadn't realised Jerry had posted the pictures of the Pines in South Devon. After all LMS stock regularly worked to Plymouth and Penzance, including an ex LNWR 12 wheel diner on alternate days in an otherwise GWR formation. Which makes me wonder what arrangements there were between the GWR and LNWR in pre-grouping days with regards to the North to West service. As Ivybridge is set in the later 1930's I haven't delved into stock working outside that period.

YORK for York Show 2023 and beyond
in 2mm Finescale
Posted
To show a little more activity for This is York. You can't have York in the late 30's without the Silver Jubilee - so i have been building it. Worsley Works nickel silver etches, and 2mm scale Association LNER bogies. Waiting for its test outing around Ivybridge.
The twin firsts
and the triplet restaurant, along with the twin firsts. The triplet thirds are behind.
No problem in providing the GWR trains that ran through York, but a number of LMS coaches are on the workbench
