There seems to be a large supply of ancient Tri-ang WELTROLS available for these things. I doubt they are of sufficiently high rating for this load (30T on bogies IIRC - less in the well) and why is the wagon all orange 'rusty' too? (and not all that good as a model anyway).

Somebody needs to show the "professional artist" my arse what real rust looks like. And I was thinking the same thing David, that Weltrol would be over loaded I think.

C&WR Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Far Twittering and Oyster Creek Railway.... Also see Smallbrook Studios (?) "Roland Emmett" inspired models....like those seen at the Festival of Britain in 1951. (Roll on 2051 for the next Festival...) Oh yes! As a boy my School had a complete set of bound copies of Punch. I used to spend happy days on the library mezzanine (where they were kept) reading these and Emmett was one of my favourite cartoonists. If I ever get my garden railway there is a strong possibility I will not have any bridges so the loading gauge doesn't interfere with some of these... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The listing is not exactly clear, though the use of the singular should be sufficient. Thanks for the link... Now I know what Tri-ang "Standard" track was really designed for..."Emett Style Garden Railways"! I've a feeling that the fine wheelsets might have problems with the pointwork of Tri-ang Standard or Series 3. Some of the early (warped) acetate track would certainly be in keeping with the F. T. & O. R. I have faint memories (I was four at the time!) of riding on the real thing at the Festival of Britain in 1951 (hauled by 'Neptune' IIRC) and riding on a London tramcar.

A thought - finally those dreadful spindly Hornby wagon underframes can be used for something! Seeing the address of the first seller (and the price of the book!), is it a relation of someone we have met before? http://www.abebooks.com/book-search/title/far-twittering/page-1/ EDIT 'and' not 'add' - finger trouble Edited December 29, 2013 by Il Grifone 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
