    Full Size Acquired Wagons of British Railways by David Larkin

    A post in another place (I can’t find it now) asked if more volumes of this series would be published after the Publisher started releasing the first book in Mr Larkin’s follow on series on air braked wagons. An email to Crecy has brought the good news that Volume 6 is planned to be published...

    Prototype Sundry scans

    Having been left the late David Hyde's collection of images and information, I have been slowly working through all sorts of interesting things, predominantly related to the GWR. David left them to me on the basis that I would do something with them and share the information, which I am working...

    Riddles 9F 92212 on shed at the Mid Hants Railway

    A while back I posted photos of the Ivatt 2-6-2 taken at the Mid Hants Railway. On the same day, Riddles 9F 92212 was also on shed, so I thought it would be rude not to photograph that as well. Here are the 1st lot. I won't caption them so if anybody is not sure of what they are seeing just...

    Ivatt 2-6-2 41312 photographed on shed at the Mid Hants Railway

    About a year ago I had the good fortune to find 41313 parked up on shed, when I called in on spec to the Mid Hants returning from a business trip. I've been meaning to share the photos for some time, but overlooked to do so. Dave Holt in his thread on his P4 BR Std 2 6 2 mentioned that these...

    J27

    Just thought I would share a few pictures I took from the top of the new tender tank of the J27 after fitting the rear handrails - it is easier fitting the nuts from the inside (before the water is put in of course :rolleyes:) than soldering on a model. This is where I had just escaped from ...

    BR DMUs and GWR Railcars hauling other stock

    I'm building a GRS kit of a class 121 DMU. While checking photos in Kevin Robertson's book on first generation DMU's, I found a picture of a class 121 hauling an LMS full brake, The caption states this was a Maidenhead to Aylesbury working, in 1961. Does anyone know if this was a regular...

    Prototype BR DMU Class 117 interior shots

    Pictures taken on the Gloucester Warwickshire Steam Railway. Not sure about the seat covering material, I seem to remember it was a green check with a red or brown line in it originally. But then I was just a lad when I rode them back then !

    Photo BR Mk1 gutters

    Bit of a long shot chaps, but does anyone have a good, side-on photo, of the last 12 inches or so, of a BR Mk1 gutter please? I decided that the moulded gutters on my JLTRT Mk1 roof were a bit on the heavy side (not to mention, NQLTRT :))), so I shaved them off. The plan is to etch some better...

    Suburban non-corr. Coach livery 1960s

    I'm struggling to find much good material to help me with the following question: How long would plain crimson livery have survived on GWR B Set coaches - Western or Birmingham areas? Given that there was a wholesale change to lined maroon from 1957 on, applied when coaches came in for...

    Prototype Blue Spot Fish Van - SPV

    On Saturday we had a ride out to Tanfield Railway and amongst the many interesting wagons was a Blue Spot Fish van/SPV. Since there has been quite a bit of interest in these over time I thought is worth while taking a few detail photos to share. - Hi res shots on my flickr site.

    Shelf queen - GE 4 wheel carriage works train.

    Hi all, I've just asked Brian Dale if he has any recollections of GE 4 wheel carriages being used for anything other than passenger use, but thought that whilst I'm at it I would put it out there amongst the rest of the forum. I bought 3 GE Models 4 wheel 3rd class coach kits a while back...

    Prototype Useful train formations

    My brother took this picture at West Drayton Middlesex about 1964 and I thought it might be useful for those modelling the early WR diesel scene who don't have room for long trains.

    Info required please: BR1G tenders

    I am trying to source info on the BR1G tender. My Google searches have turned up very little and mostly photos of RTR models. If any of you have info you are happy to share, or can direct me to where to get any good reference or detail photos I would be very grateful. Thanks, Richard

    Prototype 9f detail photos

    With the pending MOK 9f kit getting closer it would be nice if we could start a 9f detail thread.. If this is out of place here then moderators please feel free to move or delete. Anyone who has close up detail of any 9f alive or now scrapped please feel free to add you photos. Please keep them...

    Apologies up front if this is a known resource, but I just stumbled on this site and thought it could be of use. I've certainly bookmarked it myself! The Driving Cab

    What wagons are these?

    Bob Lumley (@Silverystreaks) has a wonderful gallery of photos from the late 1980s and a fair number are of the West Highland line - right time and right place for our modelling interest. I am trying to put together a summary of wagon types which were to be seen on the line in the late 1980s -...
