Rods_of_Revolution Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 During 37196s time as "Tre, Pol and Pen" she wore Red Stripe livery, with no red stripe, at this time she also carried a white cresent shaped headboard with "Cornish Railways" and crossed BR and Cornish flags on it. My question is, did she carry the headboard at both ends? Or was a single headboard swapped from end to end? I have found photos of both ends carrying the headboard, and the headboard on the end coupled to a wagon, but no pictures showing both ends on the same occasion. This is going to be my first 37 I will model in N, kind of limits my time period, but she's an interesting machine! Many Thanks, Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rods_of_Revolution Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Excellent Derek! So there were two headboards in existance, I guess they were both worn in traffic then as I can't imagine they'd want to be switching headboards especially with the (not so) great Cornish weather Many thanks, Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomJ Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Sorry to divert the thread a little but any idea what those wagons were and what traffic flow it was? Presumably to Falmouth docks? Just thinking of future plans.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
