Regarding the carriage I must admit I have very little knowledge on railway cartridges only what I have learnt from threads like your own and Gilbert’s Peterborough North. I do like the look of the Gresley design cartridges and some time ago I purchased two at a very cheap price on EBay but no details on who made them but I do believe they were both kit built both with plastic bodies. The one behind the Deltic at 4mm scale measures approx 52 feet in length and the other carriage I purchased measures approximately 62 feet. I did fit brass wire handrails to both carriages and some very crude door handles again using brass wire but I am looking for some better quality D type handles if they are the correct type to use? Regards David Good evening David, It is a GE-section shorty Gresley then. Very nice, too. The grab rails I use (sort of 'D'-shaped) are from Southern Pride in etched brass. Regards, Tony. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
landscapes Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 Hi Here we see A3 60093 Coronach about to leave Haymarket MPD and run down light engine to Waverley Station and return home to Carlisle via The Waverley Line.

landscapes Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 Hi A few weeks ago I posted a photo of my Bachmann Deltic D9003 Meld, Tony Wright comment on the carriage behind the diesel asking could I provide some information about it. As I have already stated my knowledge on Carriages is very limited, I purchased two Gresley Brake carriages from the same seller on Ebay quite a few years ago. I enclose a photo of the two together and wonder if anyone can provide any information on them. They may possible be kit built and both have plastic bodies one scales at approx 62'-0" the other is approx 52'-0" and thats all I know, any information would be welcome. I have also been photographing some more models on the layout, first one is A4 60028 Walter K Whigham the first A4 I ever saw back in 1962.

Hi Gilbert Thank you, coincidently I have just been looking on Ian Kirks website and some of the kits look very similar to the two carriages I purchased, I cannot remember exactly how much I paid for them but I believe they were very reasonably priced.

landscapes Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 Hi Last weekend I collected my first three locomotives to be fitted with DCC Digital Decoders. I chose three Thompson Pacific's to start with as these were not straight forward installations. A2/1 60510 in a PDK kit build loco and A2/3's 60511 & 60521are both Bachmann/G King conversions, at the same time each locomotive was given a clean and health check. Photo below.

landscapes Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 Some new photos showing a few locomotives which I recently have carried out some very minor alterations to. Bachmann V1 Class No 67610 a model I renumbered, this model had a large unsightly gap over the front bogie wheels which I have filled in using some thin plasticard and then weathered I think it's an improvement. Hornby A4 60012 which I applied additional weathering to, and as already stated A2/1 60510 which has just had a digital decoder fitted Regards David 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Tony I take that as very high praise indeed. It’s layouts like your own Little Bytham and Eric and Gilbert’s layouts Longdrem & Pinkhill and Peterborough North that has given me the inspiration to start and continue with Haymarket’s progress. Also I must add without the continuous help I have received from Gareth at Replica Railways I believe I would have given up long ago.

landscapes Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 Hi A close up of A4 60028 Walter K Whigham, this is a special A4 to me as it was the very first member of the class I saw back in 1962. I was very fortunate to see it as it was withdrawn for scrapping at Doncaster two months after I saw it and was the only sight for me. This is a Hornby RTR A4 which I detailed and carried out an identity change to Haymarket's 60004 William Whitelaw then realised it had the wrong tender for 60004 so changed it again to 60028 which was a regular on the Elizabethan and a visitor to 64B. This view shows 60028 backing past the shed to the Coal Tower and Ash Pits Regards David 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
