RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted July 18, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 18, 2018 No. Sorry, Brian! Actually, belay that thought - the glass fibre/plastic one that replaced the original rusting one at Dawlish is supposed to be an exact copy. No, I'm not joking about the materials used! Is it a Gaugemaster or the original Hornby version? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westerner Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 There was a Hornby one at Wencombe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted July 19, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 19, 2018 There was a Hornby one at Wencombe. Porthmellyn Road will be graced by a composite Hornby and Gaugemaster combo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonB Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 No. Sorry, Brian! Actually, belay that thought - the glass fibre/plastic one that replaced the original rusting one at Dawlish is supposed to be an exact copy. No, I'm not joking about the materials used! It happened in the late 1980s, as far as I can recall, although Re6/6 may know better. It was a complete replacement, the original bridge was written off. The Engineer in charge of that operation later became a good colleague of mine, but unfortunately had the misfortune to be in charge of a job a few years later when one of his gang, in charge of a R/R machine, managed to demolish a signal gantry controlling the Up Main on Dainton Bank, only a few miles away. Materials chosen, I suppose, to combat the local salty atmosphere, Did the construction details appear in any of the technical or general circulation magazines? Since it is being replaced do we know why?? Did it become unsafe, or fall foul of accessibility regulations? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted July 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2018 You don’t fancy tackling the etched brass kit of the prototype then Rich. When it gets to Market I will be seriously tempted to give it a go, especially having had the prototype in my hands and seen it up close. However I think my Hornby / Plasticard hybrid is good enough to start with. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it is being replaced do we know why?? Did it become unsafe, or fall foul of accessibility regulations? The old steel one became unsafe and was replaced by an identical one moulded from grey plastic. No idea re: technical journals, sorry. The replacement was also nothing to do with accessibility regulations and Dawlish remains a problem area in that regard.
