Current and Proposed New-Builds

I'm excited too.

 

While this thread is interesting, maybe most of us are not thinking sufficiently far outside the box.

So how about one of these? Could attract a whole new, younger clientele. Should have plenty of power too ..

 

Are the drawings at the NRM?

 

Loading gauge? What loading gauge?

 

What track gauge, going by the size of the figure...

 

Brobdingnagian Standard. (Or is it Lilliputian Broad?)

 

Mmm - some Rodney Matthews art ... brings back memories of posters I had on the wall at university

 

We all have skeletons in our cupboards from student days, but some things are best not admitted in polite company!

Tom (neither confirming nor denying the existence of a poster of a class 4 or smaller Athena tennis girl...)

 

Now that really IS big chufferitis!! (With apologies to @paulhitch)

Anybody fancy an LB&SCR Stroudley D1 0-4-2?

 

Oooooh yes.

 

Me too! a nice loco. One ended up in Lancashire too, on the Whittingham Hospital Railway, near Preston.

 

Yes absolutely, the drawings are kept bang up to date at the NRM of Mordor.

 

One does not simply walk into Mordor, because the railway network in and out is so good...

 

A bit like this eh?
Ray.

 

Loading gauge and DWG's are mere trivialities.

The real question is this...

What colour do we paint it... BR lined green...Garter blue...

 

Rather than Gardening Therapy what about an establishment with its own railway that offers railway operating therapy?

 

Honestly, the D1 would be a great choice. Question is, which heritage railway would take it?

 

The possibilities were discussed recently on the other thread ...

I thought that's what heritage railways were anyway!
