[Rob Pulham]

As requested on my layout thread here are a few of the better photos from the Barrow Hill event.

And a few more. I also have quite a few Hi res detail shots of the N2 *(taken in case I get around to getting one of the Warren Sheppard kits) if anyone would like copies.

Thanks Rob, and nice to see "Butler Henderson" another one on my list of "must build one day"
Also nice to see a couple of those loco's in working "weathered " condition

Cheers Colin, I must admit Butler Henderson looked mighty fine in GCR livery.

There was a very nice GNR Atlantic in the roundhouse on the turntable but I didn't get a clear enough shot of it - it was a bit dark in there at times.

Here's a video from the day too

I believe that the GNR Atlantic was at Bressingham and maybe swapped for the J69 "Buck" ....well I'm hoping they have/are as I can go and survey the J69, as I did with the T26/E4.

Hi Rob

Fantastic pictures of what looks to have been an exceptionally good event, thanks for posting them here.

The "Director" is a real picture in GC livery and you even captured a Manning Wardle "L" class (without any lining too!)

Hi Simon,
Yes it was a great event, well worth the entrance fee - the first time I have been but not the last as it is quite close (about 45minutes away) I hadn't really taken note of what type of engine it was but here's the only other shot I got of it (I took about 200 so I just picked selection out to upload).

Nice pics Rob

I must confess I have yet to make that 45 minute journey ........the last time I went to Barrow Hill it was a BR shed.

I usually make my way to the ELR, NYMR or the KWVR for a local fix of proper railways

Nice to see a couple of A4's together & Tornado looks great in BR green

Cheers Phill

There are some lovely photos of some great engines....

Where was the "Star" of the show? Gone shopping in Swindon

 

[Rob Pulham]

Hi Phil, me too NYMR at any rate strangely I lived in Thornton for 13 years and only went to the KWVR once in that time and despite going to the Keighley 7mm show a few times I have not visited the KWVR since going many years

I would think that you would find lot's of interest there being lot's of diesels based there (although the focus wasn't on them for this event

Sorry Graham, yet another that went right by me......

Lode Star... Swindon shopping village which incorporates the GWR Steam Museum. There is space in the food courts of the shopping area for steam engines to be parked casually.

Handed-down wisdom is that the Stars are the ancestors progenitors of all subsequent express classes in the UK.

At least "they" avoided being painted (any shade of) blue.

Thank you very much for posting this extra picture - really useful and informative as I contemplate finishing my 1/32 version.

Lovely to see the J17 and Green Arrow... I assume neither were in steam ?

Anyone want to 3D print a full size set of new cylinders for GA ?

JB.

Hi JB, sadly not. I was fortunate enough to see Green arrow in steam a few times in her last stint, the first time was when they first steamed her outside the NRM (just good timing on my part -it was the first time I had been and I parked in the NRM car park and she was about 5 feet away through the fence) and a few times on the NYMR just before she was retired.
