manna Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 No, look it is all very simple really. It is almost always Friday at PN, even when it isn't. It will never be Sunday, even if it is, as Sundays are boring. Saturdays are unlikely, even on Saturdays, as a different timetable is required. No Mondays, as a song taught me years ago that I don't like them. Things may well happen on Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays, but they will all, almost always, be Fridays. For Oz, just add twelve hours or so, or is it subtract? Whichever. If I want to run a special that only ran on a particular day of the week though, all rules go out of the window, and it will become that day for at least as long as it takes the train to get round the layout. Unless of course it is Friday. Don't even think about leap years. All clear now? G'day Gents Brilliant, but. In my experience, Monday, Wed and Fri only train, only worked well if there was no Tuesday or Thursday workings as there stock was at the other end of the country on the those days and had to be bought back, but by the time they had arrived, it was the next day and they didn't need them anyway. And as for timings across the other side of the world, in our winter we are 10.5 hours ahead, in summer, 0nly 8.5 hours in front, or is it the other way round, !!!! bang goes' my 'train' of thought, better go back to Edgware. manna 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium great northern Posted February 22, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2017 No more type 4 photos, but I did do one more of the J15 just showing a bit of a carriage. and then we have to ask ourselves what could be better than an A3. the answer of course is two, as the Up White Rose comes into view. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, you Croweaters are always behind the times as far as we in the First State are concerned... There's the story of the chap who bought a ticket at a station out in the middle of nowhere and was about to board the train when the guard stopped him, saying "Your ticket isn't valid. It's for today's train. This is yesterday's train running late". The passenger asked when today's train would arrive - the answer being "Tomorrow". 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted February 23, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2017 It is all A3s for a while now folks, as I got a bit fixated on getting pictures with both of them in shot. Today's first though is the now familiar angle on Flying Fox swinging in under Crescent Bridge. Then we go back up to the North end, where 60106 has stopped, and meets the White Rose. A Doncaster duty this , and today in the hands of recently double chimney fitted Diamond Jubilee. Unlike Haymarket though, 36A can't or won't keep that lovely paint shop finish shining for long. As usual, I decided some of those lattices were too difficult to bother with. 'Tis very windy round here. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the uneducated among us. A "Croweater" is a South Australian. Just in case you were wondering!!!!! On a PN related note - Great picture of 60106 going under crescent bridge Gilbert.

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted February 23, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 23, 2017 Evening. Out of hospital now, so back to complaints about some loco classes i.e. my personal prejudices. Nice A3 shot with the GN tender - I do so like the early emblem, adds a nice bit of colour.

SVRlad No need to apologise, you are very welcome. Nearly all of my A3s are Hornby, but 60106 is a DJH kit built by Tony Geary, which used to run on Stoke Summit and Charwelton.

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted February 23, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2017 Still focusing on those two A3s tonight, as Diamond Jubilee runs slowly past its sister engine. I'm not that pleased with the second one, but have learned just to post things and leave you to make the decisions as to what's OK and what isn't. 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted February 23, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 23, 2017 The 'in your face' nature of the second shot works well for me. The railway is a harsh place off the platform, and this shows the locos as the tall, towering machines that they are. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium great northern Posted February 24, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Spotlight on 60046 this morning, first seen head on as it rolls into Platform 2. and then almost ready to come to a stand, as the N5 pilot prepares to buffer up to Flying Fox's train, and give it a shove on departure. Something to cheer Neil up a bit, I hope. Edited February 24, 2017 by great northern 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blue Streak Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Spotlight on 60046 this morning, Just when I thought I had Gresley Pacific Tenders sorted out in my head. Up pops Diamond Jubilee with a High Side Non corridor tender with a Streamlined Front. For Some reason I had it in my head that all those tenders (with streamlined top fronts) went to A4's. I stand corrected. A quick look at Yeadons and yes there it was - a Newly Built tender fitted in 1937 and remained with 60046 until withdrawal. Further research shows that of 23 tenders of this type built between 1936 and 38 - 4 were allocated to P2's 2003 - 2006 - 9 were allocated from new to A4's -10 were allocated to A1 and A3 (to replace the 10 1928 Corridor types reallocated for a4 use) although 5 of these 10 1937 builds were subsequently transferred to A4's quite quickly. So 5 of these streamlined tenders stayed with A1/3's for a considerable period of time. (I think !!!!!!!) or in this case - for good. So a couple of pictures from Gilbert, gave me several enjoyable hours of research. Which is quite fun.

In my period the five were attached to Nos 46,58,84, 95 and most famously 103. I fancied one for a bit of variety, but didn't fancy Flying Scotsman as it really is a bit of a cliche. As two of the others were very rarely seen down our way, and 58 wasn't exactly common either, 46 was the only candidate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Edit for appalling grammar) You won't want to I'm sure, however if you think A3 tender allocation is fun then try sorting the ##### Merchant Navy ones. Way back in 1960/1/2 I never even noticed they were different, but then I decided I would have a SR layout based on the WOEML east of Exeter! Parp.
