RMweb Premium Dave Hunt Posted 8 hours ago RMweb Premium Share Posted 8 hours ago Yes, the Midland, the GNR and the GCR all bought Baldwin 2-6-0s and the Midland additionally bought ten Schenectady moguls in 1899/1900 when British locomotive builders and the railway companies’ own works couldn’t meet their requirements.

RMweb Premium Dave Hunt Posted 8 hours ago RMweb Premium Share Posted 8 hours ago But I also blotted my copybook with my fellow Midland modellers at Mark when I also let some of my lesser motive power pull the breakdown train. Like this little Peckett And my little Andrew Barclay But when the Brush diesel appeared, tongues really started to wag. Will my position in the Midland Railway Society survive?

Peter Kazmierczak Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago You'll be OK, Dave, as the Brush Works was alongside the Midland. Though, on second thoughts, it was also near the Great Central... 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I had a great day yesterday at Mark and let some of my locomotives stretch their legs. The Schenectady mogul with the breakdown train (that one specially for NHN). Dave Thank you Dave. Ever since I saw the photo of that loco in MRJ several moons ago, I have been entranced by it. I'm not sure why (other than its rather superb build) as I don't do Midland, S7 or old tyme US stuff. Funny old world. It just has captivated me, and a similar, rather cruder 32mm gauged version would never get around my horrendous curves on my 0 Gauge layout anyway, but......sigh. I am in awe of your skills. 4 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyID Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago 9 hours ago, monkeysarefun said: but Its 100% natural so it has to be good. What can be bad about things that are 100% natural? - isn't that a positive selling point in the parts of the world that don't have 100% natural sharks, and 100% natural crocodiles and 100% natural snakes? Our moose and elk are 100% natural too. What's not to like? "In the United States alone, two million collisions with ungulates (like deer and moose) kill approximately 440 people, injure about 59,000 people, and cause more than US$10 billion of economic losses annually. Collisions with moose are especially dangerous due to their large size and height." 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
