RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted October 3, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 3, 2015 Well impressed with all those. Are we allowed to know where the 70 and the planters are 'cause I can't read the sign? Rob would like spikey thingies. Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Bristol Panel Signal Box nameplate for a locomotive. You can't make it up! I used to watch futuristic movies in the 1950's and even the writers could not have dreamed up the things that actually have come to pass in this land of cretins.

This is the last pic I took, through the train window 019_DS~1.jpg before I took this one 020_DS~1.jpg and the next one after that was this one 021_DS~1.jpg Cardiff Station's been upgraded a bit since you took those Mike. As some might not be aware, the old loco depot is leased by Downer Rail and is where the Waratah trains were completed before commissioning and entry into service. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisf Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 What a cracking photo Larry and I didn't realise that autocoaches had security bars on the windows. Later types had no windows at the trailing ends and steel panels where the windows would have been. I think you will find that the Hawksworth type was built with the steel panels.

What diagram is the coach in the photo. They're not security bars in quite the way you're thinking - the 'security' bit is to stop lumps of coal coming through (hence the change to fully sheeted ends). Now as that duck chappie likes big green streamlined engines here's his special treat for today. I always liked the look of these in pictures when I was a youngster so it really was something to come across this one completely by chance while on a trip to somewhere else one Saturday morning. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Senior moment this morning when mentioning a Hawksworth Auto Trailer. It was this particular vehicle. I didn't get the running number so it is either a Diagram A26 or A28. Unlike the longer 62' Auto Trailer on which the Airfix model is based, these 58' 6" vehicles did not have recessed drivers door and ran on 7' w.b. Plate bogies, As can be seen the coaches were not flush-sided. My wife is sat on the bench refusing to have her photo taken, bless her cotton socks.
