2750Papyrus Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Another vote for 9875 Midlothian. A long time ago, I bought a model which had been assembled and primed, but never painted. When I'm feeling brave enough, it will be my first attempt at painting and lining a loco. What to do about applying the name, though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are photos of the aftermath. Wicky Pedia :- On 17 July 1948, locomotive No. 60508 Duke of Rothesay was hauling a passenger train when it became derailed inside Barnet Tunnel, Hertfordshire due to a combination of faulty track and excessive speed. The whole train was subsequently derailed on points at New Southgate, London. One person was killed. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was going to be preserved but sadly in WW2 it was scrapped. Another votefor 9875 - or another member of the NBR Class H. Although the NBR had some handsome 4-4-2T locos they wern't in the same league as the other big tank locos I've voted for. Regards Chris H Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Bell Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Ordinarily I would go with the Atlantic every time but just to be different I will go with Drummond's Class R 4-4-0T, what became D51 in LNER days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are Hornby CR coaches from a limited edition set which included CR123 and a further coach. They are of course hopelessly inaccurate but the livery is well done. I plan to remove the mk1 ends and bogies and replace them and they need an interior too. It is a task a long way down on the to do list! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I know of somebody (not me) who is proposing to build a model of a Reid Atlantic using a suitably altered resin B3 boiler and one or two of the fittings, so if you really want one and cannot get hold of the classic whitemetal kit, you know what to do... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
