LSWR 4 Wheel Coach Set Completed 2 comments
A talk about the London Underground Leave a comment
A very interesting talk by Richard Walters about the various stock used during the 20th century (up to 1990). Before retiring he was the reliability manager for the London Underground with a wealth of knowledge.
The picture below is of a small part of his collection of models. They are examples of all the stock used on the underground during this period.

53802 puts in sterling service.
The battery capacity is really good and a full charge lasts for several sessions before a re charge is needed.
The sound is really impressive and Steve @ Fosworks set up the sound sync perfectly.
Very, very happy with this latest addition to the stud
We see 53802 coming in cautiously off the S&D direct into the Midland Bridge yard reception/shunting line with a full load.
It went out an hour ago with empties and is returning from Norton Hill colliery with fulls that will be tripped on to Portishead power station.
The picture amply portrays the 1 in 50 gradient up Devonshire Bank and into the cutting leading to Maple Grove Bridge and Devonshire tunnel.

A picture of Alan W’s latest project.
This is a O gauge resin kit of an LSWR 4 wheel coach which will be painted in either dark or light olive to represent its use in the Maunsell period.
I am waiting for LSWR type buffers from Invertrains and they will be fitted along with the footboards, couplings and glazing.
If anyone has info on interior colours for the inside and seats please me let know.

Bath Green Park September 2021 Video Leave a comment
Its taken since mid August to put this video together and edit but finally here it is.
A broad selection of weekday and Summer Saturday workings from the 1957 timetable including the Pines Express. Freights both up and down the S&D and on the Mangotsfield line and some ‘on shed’ shots. Watch out for banking up the steep 1 in 50 through Lyncombe Vale with train engine 7F 53802 and banker 4F 44560. Both R/C battery operated and with sound.
I hope that you enjoy the latest video from BATH GREEN PARK
