RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted October 26, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 26, 2014 I see they haven't fixed the wonky lamp on the City! Brian. It's a half hearted attempt as the City hasn't been designated a train yet as I don't have the proper stock for it.Another anomaly on ANTB ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted October 26, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 26, 2014 Something else we rode on. Watercress Gala 2014 004.JPG That loco was so feeble it was thrown off the Lyme Regis Branch in 1963...........however I do like it. P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post gwrrob Posted October 28, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) A leisurely hour was spent with 4582 shunting some coal wagons and a toad using the crossovers at either end of the station.

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted October 28, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 28, 2014 I haven't bought many locos off ebay but this 4575 class was a bargain as it runs beautifully over my electrofrog points on the crossover without stalling.Assuming the rails are clean of course. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted October 28, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 28, 2014 Does anyone know of an online photo shewing the postwar position of the G badge W on a Collett tender attached to a Castle ? 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 28, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 28, 2014 All I can find in my collection is a Collett tender on a 'Hall' in a front three quarter view so nit really very clear alas, got a couple on Hawksworh tenders attached to 'Counties' but that's it in the scannable stuff I'm afraid.

I've found a couple of photos of models but it would be naughty to model a model.I even have the old Bachmann tender that was behind their 90s modified Hall so all is not lost.Was the emblem/coat of arms in the same place on all versions .

cary hill Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 That's a great find as it's 5075 at NA in '48.What a pity Mr Kohler didn't see that photo a few years back. With some "rivet counting" this looks like a good match for the tender in that photo: A modern interpretation, of course - the tender of 6960 Raveningham Hall - but it seems consistent re the positioning of the emblem elements relative to the "rivets". 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted October 29, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 29, 2014 For some reason and feedback would be appreciated,4582 was popular shunting coal wagons.So here is some more at the east end of the station.. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted October 29, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Some more shunting action.The question I have is would they be shunted with the toad attached ? Edited October 29, 2014 by gwrrob 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 29, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 29, 2014 Some more shunting action.The question I have is would they be shunted with the toad attached ? DSCN4958.jpg DSCN4959.jpg DSCN4960.jpg DSCN4961.jpg DSCN4962.jpg Depends why they were being shunted Rob. If they were being crossed to the branch to head off along it or being crossed to recess the van would stay on. If a few wagons were being shunted out for Brent the engine would simply take them and leave the rest of the train on the Main - unless that would have got in the way of other trains. A past boss of mine, probably now long dead & buried, held the view that it was always better and quicker to shunt with a short raft of wagons and I was inclined to agree but several of our Shunters seemed to think it easier to shunt out of 70 than pick them up in two or three hits (but then they might just have been spinning things out ).

Andrew P Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Hi Robin, thanks for some more nice Shunting pics, I'm off to the SVR on Sunday for a whole day of Train Rides, Photography and Smell, (that's the smell of coal, smoke, steam and grease not me). I just hope its a better day than I had a couple of years back when the rain didn't stop all day, but I still got some nice pics. Also found this, I don't know if its of any help, or not. Hope you don't mind me posting these pics on here. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted October 29, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 29, 2014 After putting the coal wagons in the siding 4582 will attach itself to the waiting B set and take it down the branch. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted October 30, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 30, 2014 Wait till you see my Grange, on the Plymouth Holiday Express, going down the Seaton Branch........yup, it really did happen.
