Bulleidboy Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Well we've just had a cup of tea and a slice of toast with jam, and it's 41 years on the 25/3. Life can be so simple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Right! I must set the record straight. I have been married (not always happily, of course) to my wife (who else? .........Oh dear, don't set me off) for coming up to 47 years in May.

Land Rover + steam railways + Beagle = Hours of Fun. My No 1 Beagle is stretched out on the Sofa behind me. Wives, a distant nightmare, a Beagle, an ever present friend, except when they break wind " Oh Oh, what an original...... Perfume !!!! ". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postman Prat Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 You can get a RTR Director elsewhere.The D20 would be perfect, as would the Claud, a Glen or Scott or even a D40. That one could even be liveried in SE&CR colours for a change!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazy Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I can't think of any 4-4-0 I would like for the ex-LMS both the ones I would like are being made by the blue box manufacturer can I have a 0-4-4t if I stand on my head instead please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCDR Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Don't forget that there were 4-4-0s for other LMS constituents that lasted into Grouping and even into Nationalisation. Most companies had them, in large numbers, including the LNWR, L&Y, Furness, and Caledonian, all of which cry out to be modelled. fazy said:I can't think of any 4-4-0 I would like for the ex-LMS both the ones I would like are being made by the blue box manufacturer can I have a 0-4-4t if I stand on my head instead please?

Get a picture up of both, take a look, and keep going back to them.I used to a fan of " Big, brash and fast ", to the point now, Hornby could scrap their current line up, and just release 4-4-0's, 0-4-4's, and 0-6-0's, and I would be perfectly happy.PP and LC&DR, could throw in others from around the UK, which they have. I have taken a squint, gone back taken another, and come away thinking, " Yes very nice ".At the NRM, I wouldn't give the SE&CR D a second look, I love the D1, the rebuild, but now because LC&DR, keeps singing it's praises, it has grown on me, I found a picture of one in Southern Green, kept going back to it.At one time they were the A4's, MN's etc of the day.

Fazy Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Please don't get me wrong I am all for the lesser known classes I have a LT&SR 4-4-2t for one amongst others long overdue classes but on the 4-4-0's its only the ex-MR/LMS one's which would fit the eara so the 3/4Ps a 2p would be nice too as for the LNWR 4-4-0s I thought the were among the classes the LMS got rid of quite early on but have to admit I need to read up more on the LNWR more.

LCDR Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 If it came to a contest between a 'D' and a 'D1' the 'D1' wins 'hands down' every time.The D1 was a masterpiece, much ignored by people nowadays, but were frequent top performers in the hands of drivers like Sammy Gingell. Free steaming, free running and fast. OK not as powerful as a Pacific, but with an appropriate load give stunning performances.If I won Euro-millions I would commission a full sized replica immediately.However I think it is important that the 'D' remains in the NRM, as a splendid example of late Victorian / Edwardian extravagance.mortehoe said:fazy said:I can't think of any 4-4-0 I would like for the ex-LMS both the ones I would like are being made by the blue box manufacturer can I have a 0-4-4t if I stand on my head instead please?Fazy, being very biased towards the 4-4-0, and 0-6-0 types, I found your remarks interesting.Just to name my two faves of the constituent companies of the LMS, have you looked at the Midland "990", and the L&NWR Geogre V classes.

53C Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 How about tidying up the D49, so that it is either a D49/1 "Shire" with Walsharts gear and GC tender, or aD49/2 with rotary gear and current tender? A D20 would also be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
