View attachment 23501 I hope that you can see the inside of the compartment
Can I ask what the basis of this model is, as the interior looks to be a Connoisseur Models item?

Just ask David to pack two kits in one box... then SWMBO is not going to notice.Does that mean ill have to buy two 56s then David
We have actually been asked to do this before with wagons - the customer didn't call her SWMBO but 'Her Indoors'!

Wow that must have been quite a sight (and sound)!Getting on for a 3,000t train?
Yes they were, saw both the triple 37's and double 56's at Cardiff, I think the train weight was 2700t or there about.

Any pics of these ?.

I think so, but in my B&W neg collection and ones not yet scanned, if I can find the box easy enough (it isn't where I last thought I put it!) I'll have a rummage.

Hi John , if its the pic of 56034 and 048 then it says they are Foster Yeoman wagons. The livery i think is a light grey/off white with the yeoman name on them,.

In theory, but I think John uses an iPad for visiting the forum. It's probably not quite so straightforward.

No need for BBcode - just paste the address and the forum will do the rest!
On an iPad/iPhone go to the page you want to link to, tap in the address bar up the top. Then tap anywhere in the address and tap "Select All", tap "Copy". The address has now been copied.
Type your reply and when you want to insert the link just double tap where you want it (preferably on a new line), then tap "Paste" and the address is inserted. Post the reply and the forum will turn the address into a clickable link.
Simples!

And as a thank you heres more triple-headed tractors. Only a ~450t train but still sounding pretty good
Oh, please do not post any more like this... it is bad enough that my Son wants diesels
let alone diesels with sound . If Peter sees that clip then the current Cl.37/4 is going to become one of triplets. As for the treble at Denchworth, well that is a tidy service - be interested in what was the make up in respect to the different types of wagons.thanks John, Mr. Ziderhead
