GWR FPL crank arrangements c1905

Fencote in 1976, happily restored since. Note the reversed brick colours. Dolgellau in 1975, now under the town's bypass. And Dyffryn Ardudwy in 1972.

Agree there. Dulverton was the first station I explored - in around 1969/70. Track was gone, but all the platforms were there. On my second visit in '76 the island platform had gone. No signal box photos! Barnstaple Victoria Rd had the goods shed intact in '76, also a rake of pre-nationalisation vans - isolated from the rest of the system. I took several pictures of those, but no signal box there either!

Can't see you in these pictures either! Our special was supposed to be going up to Cranmore, but as usual was running late. We stopped here.

Avonmouth Dock junction - from the M5 bridge! At the time (1979) there was a footpath on this side - I didn't stop the car to take a photo..

Extinct loco's we wish that had been saved.

How about that engine that fell into a hole? Isn't it still there? Or what about those engines in New Zealand used as river banks. Extinct, but intact. -

GWR B Set coaches - livery dates
Tim V replied to Scottish Modeller's topic in UK Prototype Questions
The Dapol coaches have the same faults as the 4mm versions - extra windows, incorrect battery boxes, end details, but can be 'improved'. -

I consider it to be reasonably accurate, though I wrote it several years ago! You can always update the information. -

You're getting confused there, the Bset produced by Airfix/Dapol etc was the E140. By changing the bogies to 9' it could be an E145. E116 - K's E129, E147 - Comet. -
