My guess is that it went to a paper mill, ran till the boiler failed and then was dumped. There was never any documented proof it was destined...
! Never looked at the date! ah well...
To answer Neil Scott, the reason the L&B is so celebrated is for a variety of factors, not least that it was closed at the very height of its...
Frankly, yes!! Have a 'who cares if it's accurate or not' approach and you might as well bulldoze an original station and replace it with...
No, I am not Andy - I've got better punctuation! As for details like the final livery, I am very surprised that a locomotive costing circa £800k...
So, someone points out inaccuracies and that's the response?! I notice you don't deny that Lyn is not in the same livery as page 103 in 'Measured...
Did he ? Or did Alan Keef's not find the right shade at B&Q? Because Lyn is patently different from the colours in 'Measured and Drawn' or Phoenix...
You need to have a word with your sources because Maunsell Olive Green it most certainly ain't! The green is far too light, almost malachite, and...
Which 'Southern Railway Green'? Maunsell Olive Green, Maunsell Dover Green, Bulleid Experimental Green or Malachite?

Would be very interested where this story about a 1964 repaint came from as from my recollections of travelling on the line in 1964 and Geoff...
There's a lantern slide in existence, hand coloured, of Lyn and train entering Town station. Whilst Lyn appears in the agreed green and black,...
Cambrian bronze green? Are you sure? I thought the locos carried standard BR Dark Loco Green as per Swindon standard? As for the Southern coach...
Neither was Lyn. Lyn in full Maunsell livery occurred at the time of the 1929 General Overhaul/Rebuild when the Southern made significant...
You'd be right, too. I really cannot understand why these technical 'improvements' were ever deemed necessary. Adding further complication to an...
You're not Colin Rainsbury, by any chance?
As someone who held a position of responsibility on the L&B for 13 years, starting from when all we had was four hundred yards of Parracombe bog...
It could be any of the above reasons or none of them. Does anybody know anything more? The phrase 'service trains' explains nothing except that it...
Taking the tone from your own pompous and ill-thought-out post!
Wind your neck in. How can I be 'spreading false rumours' if I'm relaying an official statement? And in case you can't read a post, I asked if...
