For what its worth i,ve got three of them i acquired over the years two running and one to finish Andy

Definitely Drumboe the plain smokebox is the givaway Andy

Too be honest for 4mm i've always used the crests and numbers off the HMRS LMS constituents sheet S&D crests if remember right with LTSR for Castlederg when you get down to 4mm its just colouered blobs after all,its the same with North British crests they look fine on my Lynton and Rheidol stock.Andy

I always thought it spoke volummes that one of the first things they did was to demolish the remains of Blennerville station.Andy

Not a problem it doesnt act like a flywheel just gives a smoother run Andy

Just fitted one to a Great Western LEO Class (Broad Gauge) and it works a treat Andy

No6 was out of use at closure with a broken axle which was replaced after the sale i wonder what else was done at the time.Looking at the photo the only steam viable is from the drain cocks so would imagine the issue would be leaky tubes.Andy

I assume the jib was removed for clearance reasons,it being shes a crane tank,it used to be at Cranmore back in the day Andy

My earliest scratchbuilds were in steel admittedly not the whole loco just various bits and they were fullsize,Class 56 fan grills anyone ? Andy

Check out ebay theres someone who does a new etched chassis for them Andy

Stock box versus gravity no need to say who won, fortunately it was only the two locos,so as Lochty was at the front of the pile and hadn't been to Southampton since 2022 that went instead it did mean it had bit of a run before Tonbridge next month as for Marlborough it will be at Swindon on the 7th of March Andy.

16 Ford Anglias sacrificed with only two survivor's.Andy

Its No2 in its unrebuilt form on the to do list having done a rebuilt No4 Andy

Certainly not a threshing machine,not sure about it being a fire engine going by my experiance of working on Merryweather and Shand Masons the basic structue is right but the wheels are too heavy and theres no boiler and pump at the back.Andy

I seem to recollect somewhere that the ratio was 80% vans to 20% opens the opposite to the UK.Andy
