Same road bridge but viewed from the other end of the junctions. Looks like someone has filled the space with Rapido test prints. https://www.rmweb.co.uk/forums/topic/181073-usatc-s160-in-oo/page/2/

RCH 1907 Private Owner Wagons - with added 2024 range.
Penrhos1920 replied to rapidoandy's topic in Rapido Trains
I love that shade of blue. If only more PO wagons were that colour rather than black or grey. -
Sorry that’s a scanning error. Most of the Jack Slinn drawings had to be scanned in 2 or 3 sections and then stitched together. If you look at the compartment widths you’ll see it’s the same as the adjacent compartments. Most Dean era coaches had the same width windows regardless of compartment width or class. The exceptions are some Metro coaches, saloons and some corridor coaches.

Does that make them 3½ and 4½ coach units respectively? -
GWR 3 plank wagons appreciation thread
Penrhos1920 replied to drduncan's topic in GWR Rolling Stock: model and prototype
Please can U12, U17, U22, U25 & U26 join in? U27 & U29 are very dissappointed that they are excluded. -
GWR 3 plank wagons appreciation thread
Penrhos1920 replied to drduncan's topic in GWR Rolling Stock: model and prototype
Since you're all talking about the van at the backI'll chip in with my tuppence. It has flat sides with no tumblehome and is possibly taller than the E40s in front of it. So I'd say it wasn't built by the GWR. It could be something they bought before 1870 or absorbed. Why is the train there? Did Helston have a second platform at some time? What interests me is whatever is hiding behind the loco's chimney. It that an eliptical roof? -
E19 and E40 look about Wright. You’ll be very lucky to find any coach workings that early for Helston. You might consider a four coach set such as T36 S9 U4 T47 or T49

Is the price £7.99 per bogie or per pair? I think it’s the former but I want to check before ordering as I don’t want to purchase twice as many as I need.!

Over the past week or so it has become almost impossible to view RMweb on my old iPad. The hamburger menu no longer works at all. And photos aren’t being displayed. What is the minimum iOS required to view RMWeb?

Semi-Auto Couplings - Help Required
Penrhos1920 replied to TheEastSuffolkman's topic in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
Unfortunately there’s no photos showing what the coupling looks like or how it works on that pages -
Alternately you could keep the power unit bogie and put the rest on eBay. I’m sure somebody would like to buy the body and convert it into an auto coach.

OO Gauge GWR Toplight Mainline & City Coaches announced

Where the city trains hauled by Metropolitan electrics after the metropolitan was electrified around 1908? -
GWR O11/15 Opens and V14/16 Vans - order book now open!
Penrhos1920 replied to rapidoandy's topic in Rapido Trains
Didn’t they have the buffers packed out a couple of inches because the screw couplings are longer? Other wagons that were fitted with screw couplings during the first world war for working in France definitely did. -
Private Owner wagon numbering
Penrhos1920 replied to Brassey's topic in Pre-Grouping - Modelling & Prototype
This North’s Navigation has been modelled with the number in the centre at the top, whereas the photos have it on the bottom right plank. Also remember that some wagons have Cardiff rather than Bridgend. -

Metro tanks, eg 458 or County tanks -
In in the 1920s what traffic flowed eastbound through the Rhondda tunnel? Was it just empty wagons or was there any anthracite? Was there an RCH book that gave approved routes for mineral and goods?

Private Owner wagon numbering
Penrhos1920 replied to Brassey's topic in Pre-Grouping - Modelling & Prototype
KT7/157 there’s no photographs. It is about the 20 ton wagons hired from the GWR. KT6/115 Gloucester wagons all red, white letters with black shading 184 Bridgend 6 planks 1647, 1931, 2197 Bridgend 7 planks 1055, 1145 Cardiff 7 planks. all of these are from orders where the other numbers weren’t recorded. In 1922 numbers 3300 to 3399 bought from Cambrian wagon works. Numbers 3000 to 3599 also came from Cambrian in 1924. -

KT12/3 is a copy of a postcard of the colliery. Although wagons are visible no numbers are visible. -
The frame was built on a Friday afternoon?

BR(W) / GWR Signal Box Bell Codes
Penrhos1920 replied to Penrhos1920's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
My father has recalled a time when he was young in a signal box. 2 panniers arrived at the home signal outside the box, uncoupled and running separately. After the signalman set the road, Dad was told to pull off the signal, once the first pannier has moved off he returned the signal lever and a minute or so later he was told to pull it off again and once the 2nd pannier had left return the lever and then give 2-1 to the box down the line. -

I wonder if Rapido will start selling them unpainted? At a good discount. They would be great for applying my own liveries.
