Two grounded bodies on the Severn Valley, then two of the LSWR grounded coaches on the Swanage railway at Harmans Cross, and Norden. Jon

Four from the Rutland Railway Museum, Rocks by Rail or whatever they call themselves these days and 4 from Sellinge in Kent Jon

I'm very aware of the scale, I'm simply pondering if there is anything of value in the kit as a donor when I build a 4mm wagon. Apart from the Obsidian etch we have already discussed on this thread (but which I've still not seen), and the transfers and buffers available form Andy Hart, I'm not aware of any other detailing kits for these - if I build one I'll probably do my own etched bits. Jon

Sorry to dig up such an old thread, but recycling is all the rage, so.... Does anyone know if the Dapol-produced ex-airfix Interfrigo is flash free? I've seen a sugestion elsewhere that the moulds are a bit tired, and that I might be better looking for an older Airfix production - which is OK, as I'm probably not going to use all that much if anything from it. Jon

First from the Nene Valley. Then one from the NYMR Then a selection from around Peak Rail. J

Mangapps has a good collection

I'm not sure where this first one was taken - I suspect Mangapps This pair are on the Gwilli Railway And then two photo's showing a yard next to the KWVR that has all manner of interesting things in it

and last but not least part 3

part 2

Part one of the Great Centrals collection of grounded vans and containers - there are several visits represented, so duplications are possible. Jon

A few from Foxfield. J

Phil JW's id is of the 'teak' coach in my last photo, Ozzy's is id'ing your last photo (I think). Jon

A couple of a van at Bury on the East Lancs, and then a handful at Embsay Railway Jon

To Kent A van as a fishermans store and a coach as part of a house (one of many) at Dungeness. A coach at (IIRC) Rye Harbour J

A few from Didcot - I believe the BZG has been broken up for parts - that the example at the Severn Vally is the recipient. Jon

A selection at Swanick Junction

A container at the Avon Valley railway, a little group at the Battlefield line, and two of a container at Cheddleton J

A few at CF Booths scrapyard from me A tamper cab in use as a welders store, an old Shell tanker (rather the oposite from grounded) in use as a water? tank, and a couple of stores vans Jon

Yes the O guage coaches are tempting - unfortunately the Birdcages were one of his early ecthed kits, so no seperate body and chassis, which means he would have to go right back to the drawing board (literally - no CAD for Dave) and start again to do these in 7mm - I know that he wants to do them in the senior scale. Jon

As a teenager I used to help Dave Hamersley of Roxey Mouldings fairly regularly at exhibitions, and about 15-20 years ago I aquired from him a number of miss-etched coaches to practice my soldering on. Fortunately these two survived unbuilt long enough for me to be finally able to do them justice - so off the workbench in the last 6 months have been a pair of push-pull driving trailers. One is etched in 20thou (not 12) and the other lost its V hangers to the etching bath, but both have built up quite nicely. I now need to decide between going back to Dave and buying all the castings (and bogies), or simply sticking them on ebay as abandoned projects. Joon

These are some of the vehicles involved
