Another attempt at a 'no locomotive' scene.

This one is my attempt at the old 'Allan & Black'  station garage that used to sit at the back of Aboyne station.

Now transported to Dad's 'Braeside' layout, cut down to fit our space and renamed, the aim was to at least capture the spirit of this classic garage in 1:76.

One of the 2P's built for the Somerset and Dorset stands outside Bradstock loco shed.

[John Besley]

Crying shame no 2P exists somewhere today (as in full size)

[The Johnster]

Prime candidate for a reproduction I'd have thought, simple robust design, ideal size for heritage railway use, attractive liveries, modern design but Victorian 'look' and fast enough for main line work, as a pilot for Jubilees, Black 5s, or Royal Scots (or The Unknown Warrior when it's finished), or singly for lighter loads.

 

I like 2Ps, well proportioned and stylish little things.

A couple from on 'Dunfermline Upper 62C', with the layout pretending to be Perth South and St Margaret sheds for two of the photos.

At Dunfermline itself, visiting V2 No. 60883 goes for a spin on the turntable after bringing a goods down over the Glenfarg line and into the Upper yards.



Next, inside St Margarets, an unidentified A3 sits devoid of life in the darkness with Dunfermline's B1 No. 61029 in for general repairs.



And finally, substituting for Perth South.  A very early morning on the summer solstice in 1958, as based Standard 5 No. 73107 is prepared alongside Eastfield's No. 44908 before they tie up together and make the trip into the station to meet the Down 'Royal Highlander'.

Nothing that won't polish out...

Some more views of Holy War working round Avalon Shed, first seen coming off shed and the then two view of the engine taking a train out behind the shed, once early afternoon and then later in the more golden light of the early evening sun.

A  J72 shedded at Ipswich in the early 50s has migrated to Norfolk.

 

 

 

Never much happening at Upbech St Mary the rest of the time.

Blue sky!  Can't be North Wales, then...

 

Excellent stuff, triggers memories of my late 60s explorations of dead slate quarries in the area on days off from volunteering on the Ffestiniog.

Phosphor bronze has a more orangy colour so you can keep the rail heads clean and Marcway do it.

No trains as they've not been weathered yet, but a corner of my 009/00 project

A bit of N gauge.
