robmcg Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) One of the first releases....a long while back it seems now As I recall the early BR Brunswick green Bulleids were quite dark in hue, too.... (preparing for endless debate, disagreement, and sighing... ) pictures edited Of these above and the malachite 34081, 34067 Tangmere early BR Brunswick and 34081 92 Squadron were 2001-2004 releases, and 34078 222 Squadron early BR Brunswick was 2005-07. As I understand it there has been more than one version of 34067 'Tangmere'. As to the green deflector inside face on Kenley this also happened on recent s21C159 Sir Archibald Sinclair and possibly some other malachite versions like the Southern version of 21C159, but not so far as I can tell on any BR versions, nor older malachite versions. I have a lot of these but all are in boxes and I'm lazy.. even 34081 a few posts back probably has green inside-face deflectors, not very obvious though.

" Message to Supreme Inquisitor, Who the hell was Stanier? Moving quickly along, Confucious say, 'Ye cannae have too many Bulleids'. At least that's how I heard it... And to finish, the locomotive which REALLY held the BR Southern Region together, and was never properly acknowledged.... cheers 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classsix T Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Do 34081 as HURRICANE or BIGGIN HILL on a rake of blood and custard Gresley and Thompson coaches Rob, and I'd probably cave in!

Those two and AN Other worked off Stratford in the early Fifties apparently. C6T. Noted. Not sure if the ER under R H N Hardy was quite up to having proper engines at the time of those exchanges (though I'm sure he learned the truth about things a short time later). They ended up with Britannias which was probably a good result... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you've had over 150 Bulleids across your workbench - the Men in Malachite know it's unwise to do such things, unless they want a Bulleid shoved somewhere unmentionable They know the Aerospace saying that's associated with me (the polite version) - Never mess with a (Ex) Tinsmith...

robmcg Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Aah one of the rare Exeter's then Yes I ended up with three of them and no buyers even at original retail! I just did a couple of pics redolent of my teenage years hanging around sheds on Sundays with my 35mm 'Regula Sprinty B' camera and Ilford FP3 and I tended to over-expose pics to get the detail on the engines, and 'burn' the sky back in, in the darkroom. On Sundays a lot of engines were in not in steam, or until perhaps preparing for a night-time express or goods, the safety valve thing is artistic licence. Depended on the shed of course, I'll bet some GWR sheds and ECML sheds were empty. Not every engine shed was a mess, but Salisbury and Nine Elms had their moments. Here are recent Hornby releases R3411 S15 SR 827 and R3468 Battle of Britain 35077 '603 Squadron' both medium weathered by Rails of Sheffield. cheers 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
