RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted November 24, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 24, 2017 SS the hand rail is correct as per prototype the rail was fitted like this when new in the early 1900's, there is an AA3 at Didcot still sporting them. There is a photo on the attached a just down from the top. http://www.gwr.org.uk/nobrakes.html Just looks odd, but I guess this is due to being used to seeing the more usual rectangular shape of the grab rails.

Miss Prism Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 When I get a scanner working, I might upload the Morton Lloyd AA1 drawing from the October 62 MRC and put it on gwr.org. I don't suppose anyone is now going to make a fuss about copyright aspects - the original publisher doesn't exist as such. To be honest, the drawing doesn't tell us anything we don't know already, and the pic is the same as plate 643 of the Bible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 81C Posted November 28, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 28, 2017 Having finally got the last coat of paint on mine I dropped the chassis on the garage floor, I have found all the parts and nothing seem to be broken so all I have to do is put it back together then put the markings on after deciding on which name will go on it.

RMweb Gold 81C Posted November 29, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Thought it was only me thats clumsy ;-) No there's 2 of us, I wonder how many more there are out there. EDIT TYPO Today I got bored so out of curiosity I had a look round for any AA1's I found 2 on fleebay 1 at Peters Spares the other was a £1 less from some dodgy seller that has problems sending stuff to it's customers to say the least Peters Spares hasn't got any now.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted December 2, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 2, 2017 Make that 3; clumsy is an understatement for someone with my little chubby piggy fingers. I should not really be allowed out without supervision... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 81C Posted December 2, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 2, 2017 Well the AA1 pitched up today I looked at it and put it in the display case next to the modified one which is minus the hand rails as my chubby piggy fingers are having trouble fitting them. I spent the day fixing stuff around the house without dropping anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom F Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Evening all, would anyone know of the numbers of any of the Toad’s that worked the Kington Branch in the late 50s and early 60s. I’ve a few photos but it’s hard to make the number out. W68749? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Prism Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Looks like one of the last batches of AA20s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted October 16 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 16 (edited) What livery is that? My wagon group are hellbent on repainting a Toad in dark grey with BR lettering to go in a c1960 rake so I'm on the lookout for one!
