That's the kind of thing the posh ladies in National Trust shops say. CTMK and I went into one such Gift Shoppe in Castle Combe once, bought something and the posh lady asked 'would you like a beg for that?'. If we'd bought more things, we could probably have had them peckaged up in a Peckett. But seriously, what Peckett is this, then? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Phoenix from what experience I have with painting. They do three Great Western greens from memory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted October 2, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 2, 2015 Peckett.....Didn't the GWR have something similar and isn't one preserved? The GWR absorbed a few 040t including some Pecketts, but only Hawthorne Leslie, Kitson and Avonside types seem to be preserved according to Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_0-4-0ST There are a couple of dozen industrial peckett 040t preserved, maybe there's one of them in a bogus livery somewhere?

Ah, P10 it is then. I don't know this thread goes all over the place: P10, P2, Pickett? (dont you have to wait 'til the midnight hour for that one?), Peckett W4, is that a quarter of a W1? ...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 2, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 2, 2015 Peckett.....Didn't the GWR have something similar and isn't one preserved? The Hornby engine is a W4 Peckett and the only ones of these which the GWR owned were a number taken over from the Swansea Harbour trust which had in turn taken them over from Christopher Rowland who had supplied engines under contract to the Trust - Rowland bought them new at various dates between 1891 and 1904 and disposal (be sale) began as early as 1910. None of the W4s that survived to be taken over by the GWR made it into the 1930s - the last being withdrawn in Juy 1929. Apart from a single photo in the RCTS history photos of the W4s in GWR ownership are extremely difficult to find - and I've been looking for some months (for reasons which might today have become rather obvious). The only one I can find a picture of has a half height cab backsheet although I don't know if they all had this feature (and the Hornby version has a full height backsheet - unless there are some other parts lurking in China) so I suspect we won't see a GWR version from Hornby.
