73c Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi Simon I notice the rails have been lifted from the next pit road, is this before that shed was knocked down and rebuilt / made smaller? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbyhorse Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Number 2 road was being rebuilt for the PW department tampers, we never had this road for the motive power department. If my memory is correct it was early 80s just after Burma Star was named. This photo shows Number 3 road with the steam crane on and a better view of No2 road. I've got some more photos somewhere and will post them. Simon 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
73c Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Look's impressive. Any shot's you have would be great to see, especially if you have any of the shed it's self as at some point I'm hoping to model a smaller 3 road version ( late 50's early 60's with the coal drop and turntable ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Paul Doubt it. It was quite common for a while to see such diversions via Andover when there was engineering work between Basingstoke and Eastleigh.

Steve-e Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Just looking through the class 33 photos and was wondering why a lot of them had a big dent above the coupling was there a particular reason for this or just through coupling use in that area?

Steve I've always understood it to be due to the screw link coupling, hence why there's no dent on 33/1s that had a rubbing plate and buckeye coupling.

Southernman46 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Back in the day I remember at least one with a square cut-out in the bodywork to assist with clearance & prevent the dent..............no idea which Crompton though EDIT Check out 33050 in post #95 Edited February 11, 2015 by Southernman46 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve It's just over enthusiastic use of the shunting pole when using the train coupling (yes, I know you should us the loco coupling, but in the real world....) There is not a lot of space between the top of the loco coupling hook and the bottom of the front panel. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Grampus Posted February 12, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 12, 2015 50042, what a wonderful selection of snaps! I particularly liked the one of '012 on Salisbury in its 'ice cream van' livery: I remember the frothing it generated at the time amongst the local enthusiast fraternity - what I think would be known as a 'marmite' livery these days! Funny how tame it now looks in hindsight. Happy days! Best wishes, Paul 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
