Would you model in 21mm if RTR track and models were readily available?

The UG is likely to be built from a set of Worsley Works "Scratchbuilders Parts" introduced in the early 2000.

Certainly built into a fine looking model

All superb models - would slot in very nicely at Brookhall Mill........

Hope to have our 21mm layout Loughrea up and running after our 3 day show in October
Working hard on reviving another of our older layouts for the show.

Some freight this wet morning

Nice 4-4-0 this morning troops

Galteemore · February 10

That’s been beautifully made. Really captures the look of a GN PP class in working condition. Nice to see brake rigging both on loco and tender.

Another 4-4-0 this morning
Was this ever named "Louth"?
Thought I heard it somewhere

Galteemore · February 11

202 was Louth but this cannot be 202! The only flaw on this superb model. This is a U of the 1915 batch. 202 was of the 1948 batch - the ones with side window can and LMS style tender as modelled by OO Works.

Northstar Design/Studio Scale Models may have produced a kit for the original 1915 version, Worsley Works a set of scratchbuilders parts for the 1948 version and OO Works a OO rtr model of the U. TMD/SSM also produced the widely used GNR T2 4-4-2T which was basically a tank version of the U Class.

The GNR U and its variations has been covered quite comprehensively in kit and rtr form.

Your GNR locos look lovely. You've got a wee job to do renumbering your "U" - the 1915 ones didn't have "County" names, so you're stuck with choosing your favourite "Lough" - No.199 was Lough Derg, went to CIE and was the last survivor there.

It may have been mentioned before, but the T Tanks were a "U" Class with tanks and a bunker! I always thought them rather nice little locos (hence three 4mm ones on my layout!

As previously stated we have a 21mm layout in the club, Loughrea which we hope to get up and running hopefully after our 3 day show in October
These models turned up and after seeing them in the flesh I could not resist them
I hope to put a small test track together soon and give them a run to see if they run as well as they look
