Swanage Railway General Discussion

Excellent

 

Morning all

Last weekend was the first Swanage model railway event, a superb weekend where it felt very much like a gala!



Enjoy

Comparison of the T3 model and 563 in sunlight really points up the problem of colour matching in models. I bet the model looks different under artificial light.

Seems to be a short carriage set on todays service.

Something quite nice looking at a steam with a short set behind it. More 60s looking

Also T3 out today

 

Meant to be a five set according to HOPS.

 

After seeing this post, and the train arrive at Swanage just after 15:00 as I left my dad's flat, I thought I at least ought to get a record shot. A nice mix of stock as well. least ought to get a record shot.

 

The B Set has had a shuffle after the arrival of the GW Inspection Saloon, with the Mk1 TSO being removed from the set and the Inspection Saloon replacing it. The Maunsells and Bulleid CK have also been reordered. I can only presume it’s running as a 3 and not a 4 (not including the Inspection Saloon!) so that whichever Maunsell is running on the Cream Tea services this weekend can be prepped.

 

7 coaches on the set in the bay today when I walked back from my Dad's. So I guess some shuffling still to come. The saloon has been against the stops in the bay since at least yesterday when I went past.
