RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted November 12, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) I have the summer of '61 to hand and it was c&c's with BSK, SK, SK, SK, RSO, RF, FK, CK, BSK with a further SK, BCK detached at Plymuff. The choice of dining coaches changed to replace the original GWR pair first used. Edited November 12, 2017 by gwrrob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisf Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) It was c&c Mk 1s from mid 1956 except for the diners. The Cornish Riviera was almost always first in the pecking order for new stock and was the first named train to get a rake of maroon coaches when chocolate and cream was abandoned in 1962. Rob has just saved me the trouble of reminding myself what the 1961 formation was. IIRC it varied little during the 1950s except for when the GW diners were finally replaced by Mk 1s. [Edit: I have just checked the 1961 cwp and the CRE was still booked to have GW diners!] Chris Edited November 12, 2017 by chrisf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a featherweight so would need filling with lead (does it feel lucky?) I'm not sure if it is a correctly detailed loco either as it is numbered as a 93XX (one at Swindon and one at Reading that would be OK; two of three left in 1959) at the moment IIRC. I think a 53XX, 73XX or more likely a 63XX would be more appropriate? Plenty of 63XXs at appropriate sheds such as Westbury/Bristol/Taunton. I shall search it out sometime to check the cab.

Phat Thats an original Mainline one straight out of the box. I believe it needs weathering to the point where no livery is left visible, on account of it's shiny and rubbish.

RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted November 13, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 13, 2017 Afternoon you GWR/BRWR aficionados. (Like my Spamish?), Has anyone got CRE formations for 1958 through to 1964 or can tell me where to look (apart from the Yahoo Group that I just can't get into at all)? I suspect it was C & Cs Mk1s from about 1960. It would be good to replicate a CRE for a diversion on SOSJ even if it were just for (say) Summer 1962. Many thanks, Phil Phil, I've got a number of carriage working programmes downloaded from Robert Carroll's BRCS yahoo group, which I assume is the one you are referring to. I'll have a look when i get home tonight and if all the information you need hasn't popped up by then I will add whatever I can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisf Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 If you want a diversion try 1961, when there was a landslip on 21st August on the WR route at Lavington. On Saturday 26th August several WR trains used the SR route between Plymouth and Reading, including the up CRE. There was quite a chunk about the incident in the November 1961 Trains Illustrated.
