Bit of an update on the site acquistion: http://www.didcotrailwaycentre.org.uk/n ... tml#news01
Chap I know from a while back has/had a Hibberd that had been regauged from 2ft, fraid I don't have any pics, but it was along the lines of that...
Not sure if I've missed the point here chap, but there's nothing wrong with that. It was quite common to see this, in fact on one of 5051's...
I take it the press release will be in a couple of weeks? Maybe this is Steam Railway's next appeal! Good to see some sanity restored.
Maybe they wanted to balance out all those wooden boilers that are supposedly sat in the NRM! \:D/
Liking that second to last one chap.
The ironic thing, is that even if the engines were painted right, you'd still have people moaning that it's not BR. Honestly, life's too short....
Maybe someone could make a Modified Hall out of them.
The tender is the one that originally came with Nunney when it arrived from Barry. A spare 3500 already exists for the Saint; best option really,...
I'd give it about 12 months, and then the demands would start coming in for it to be steamed. ;-) What would I like to see done up? The L&B coach.
If you want, I know where there are some 8F boilers going cheap!
Re: 60010 Domion of Canadas Neglect You know, that's not a half bad idea.
They don't;- the drivers on a Saint are verrrry close. When it comes down to it, frames are only bits of plate - there's no real point pratting...
Cheers for that chap, will be interesting to see how things develop.
[img] Ohmygodz! Grate Westin! Red! Haven't been to Peak Rail in a while... looks like another visit may be in order this year.
Nope, I'm speaking purely from a Didcot perspective, which is why I started the thread!
Sorry, where exactly did I state my opinion as fact? 'Suspect' is a speculative term... or didn't you realise? By the way, the engine has spent...
That's a sight for sore eyes! Well done chaps.
Nah, but spending 40+ years with brass tubes in is generally not conducive to good preservation! ;-) Neither is leaving the lagging on for that...
Oh yes, I suppose you could! I always forget the 55 at Paignton came from Barry. :oops:
