It was completely demolished. It had a load of keep clear signs just before so I guess it was falling down anyway.

A few years ago I did a model of an ex LMS Oyster ballast plough for Brettell Road See Oyster ballast plough – P4NewStreet. I originally finished it in red which i really liked but as that livery was unlikely at best for Brettell Road I ended up repainting it into black. Hover the red oyster proved to be an itch I couldn;t scratch and at Scalefoum last year i picked up another Cambrian Shark kit with the intention of doing another. This time for New Street.
There are differences between this one and my earlier one other than the livery. Some Oysters ended up a kind of halfway house between the original design and the later shark. They retained the none - heavy duty W irons and didn't get any vacuum brakes but as seen here some were through piped. They also ended up with bodies and steps the same as a shark although still lacking the doors. So a super subtle variation then, I wonder if anyone will notice?
