Keep them coming, they are a joy to look at. Stephen -
We’re not seeing enough of this delightful layout. More please. Stephen

As Robert points out, you need to be oh so careful with cant and transitions on model railways. They are not the same as the real thing, where space is, generally, not at a premium. I’m another who subscribes to the ‘less is more’ point of view. You only need a hint of canr to have the desired effect. Stephen

Lovely stuff. Stephen

An unusual shot looking from the back to the front of the train. I’ve not seen many like that. Stephen

Almost an inglenook layout. Stephen

Shame but it’s understandable. Stephen

I first came across this photo in The Railway Magaine of August 1964 in an article entitled ‘New Irish coaches are versatile’. The order was for 70 coaches from Cravens of Sheffield, 10 to be delivered complete, 30 coming as shells to be completed at Inchicore and 30 to be constructed at Inchicore with technical help from Cravens. Of particular interest was that the vacuum brake was compatible with the brake system used on the railcars then in use. One final point is the figure 2 on the doors denoting they were second class.

Nice. Stephen What wheelbase were the wagons? Stephen

The loco is an E1R 0-6-2T, a Southern rebuild of an LBSCR E1 0-6-0T, but then you probably knew that. The coach appears to an LSWR gate brake, similar to the kind of thing produced by Kernow Model Centre. Stephen

Halwill Junction, the southern end the North Devon and Cornwall Junction Railway, one of the last of Colonel Stephens lines to be built. He used to refer to them as associated railways, the fifth group of lines in GB. Stephen

So true, but it’s the enthusiasts who are the most vociferous in terms of telling what you should be doing and how. Stephen

That is beautiful. Stephen -
And finally, how would the lime and coal have been delivered and the beet pulp and refined sugar collected, in trainloads or wagonloads? Stephen
-
Thanks for that. Stephen
-
Coal and beet obviously arrived in open wagons but how did the lime arrive? Stephen
-
I expect there’s a good reason why B131 is running bonnet first. Stephen
-
A thing of beauty indeed. Can’t wait to see the others. Stephen
-
It really does look like the real thing. Well done. Stephen
-
There was just such a proposal not so long ago to do just that. We’ll have to wait and see. Stephen

I was always under the impression that VAT was not applicable to secondhand goods, the process of adding value through the life of a product finishing at the point of sale. Is this simply a case of raising revenue the easy way, catching the large, multinationals proving too difficult. Import duty is entirely a different matter. Stephen

So,was somebody or something just making a point with the suspension? Stephen

What about the Tara mines traffic, doesn’t that use the same track to the same terminal? Stephen
