    So like this?
  2. GSR 800
    I thought they were turned at termini,and larger stations?
  3. GSR 800
    Blimey! Not surprisin' people wan' a good A class, considerin' we 'ave nearly everythin' else diesel wise. Nuff said!

    I wonder what the cost of rebuilding the woolwiches be compared to actually building a loco to that design and leaving the woolies?
  5. GSR 800
    That's an amazing piece of work, evens sounds like some of the older V6s. Whoever built that must have had a lot of patience!

    Thanks for posting that up John! It really does look like a 800 on a more moderate scale. A model would indeed be very interesting. Maybe one of the Brassmaster of the site would build one for posterity:p

    Hmm..interesting... But there would(obviously) be a much larger appeal to an RTR run. Chances are MM won't consider an A for at least a couple of years so a kit might work
  8. GSR 800
    Would he be making a loss? I wonder what MMs turnover is?
  9. GSR 800
    Great news Stephen!

    These trains are small but those trains..(071 charges past) are far away..
  11. GSR 800
    Brilliant!
  12. GSR 800
    And the Biccies John,..and the Biccies..(leans back into shadowy chair)
  13. GSR 800
    Although to me, they looked like a bunch of belpaires put together, they were extremely powerful and reliable and they were built on the "austerity" period so it was "form follows function"

    Congratulations

    Congrats Richie! Nappies, long nights, and closet modelling galore! ( guessing I'll be under mentally unstable at times then?)

    If Ireland had joined the war in let's say..1942-3?
  16. GSR 800
    Anyone hear about transport for Ireland or the TFI proposal advert?
  17. GSR 800
    This is your fault Pat!, with your diesels and your fancy super train livery..(grumbles nonsensically )
  18. GSR 800
    You've turned to the dark side John, with a hint of tan.....
  19. GSR 800
    I am deeply hurt Pat...
  20. GSR 800
    Aye!
  21. GSR 800
    Just been edited..
  22. GSR 800
    I need somewhere to show off MY 800.. Plus my name is below my signature!
  23. GSR 800
    Pat, have you mixed me with a certain JH Beumont?
  24. GSR 800
    Great find Pat, a great insight how locomotives were built, I loved the part where he lit his cigarette before lighting up the fire!
  25. GSR 800
    That is what Watson based the 400 class on, obviously, as you said major modifications would have to be made ( walshearts valve gear, split footplate etc..) times like these a Mr. C Flanagan would be very helpful...
