albert smith 803 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Bit disappointed at this show as there were no 'main line' loco's in steam but still plenty to see and 'share' there 'drivers' enthusiasm! "City of Nottingham" was for sale with a price tag of £4,000 whilst the unusual drive No.5 was bought in kit form to build yourself, the 'real' engine was used on 'logging sites'with it's oil fired boiler keeping the sparks down.https://postimg.org/gallery/2sj59y9om/https://postimg.org/gallery/3cymw0juu/ I think the pics. are out of sequence!

albert smith 803 Posted October 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 or the spelling, I knew I shouldn't have had that 2nd. glass with my dinner! I cropped "No.5" to show the unusual drive but didn't "save" it so lets try again! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BulwellBrian 107 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 The no5 is a model of a "Shay" locomotive, these were an american design of a geared loco for slow speed high power 0n logging railways. The boiler was ofset to oe side to make room for the vertical cyliders and gearing on the other side. The red loco underneath is a model of a Ffestiniog Railway double Fairlie articulated loco, three of which are i use on the railway from Porthmadog, North Wales. Brian.

albert smith 803 Posted December 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 I'd never heard of or seen a "Shay" loco until i saw the 16mm model earlier this year but now I've found this You Tube clip of 5 of the 'real' things but what the hell are they burning, oily rags?

albert smith 803 Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 3 Of us ignored the weather forecast last weekend but put a shovel in the boot, just in case, and went off to the model show at Warwick. More for 'garden layouts' this time like this "Jubilee", just another model till you look in the cab to realize what a fine piece of engineering it is https://postimg.org/image/5a9bcids5/ https://postimg.org/image/ut1npihwl/ Quite a few American diesels but those box cars seem out of place indoors https://postimg.org/image/gmlwuehd1/ and, of course, a few novelties like this "Leggo layout" https://postimg.org/image/kvqmwjxh1/ but I was pleased to see one of my favorites again, the "Tin Plate Society" layout with some stock rattling around that's older than me! https://postimg.org/image/pj1acan51/ but I think the 'best' exhibit was unpacked just as we were leaving so was unable to get any details re the power units, the detail in the coaches was outstanding! https://postimg.org/image/ir69vft9h/ another excellent show and "Yes" we ran into the snow when almost home so didn't need the shovel. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
