GWR and BR(WR) Models 3

 

A 70ft Railmotor from Nu-Cast. This version carries the crimson lake livery used on coaching stock from about 1912 until the Grouping.

 

A Collett Goods 0-6-0 of the 2251 class. It is basically a standard Bachmann model, but it is coupled to a Churchward 3000 gallon tender (as was most of the original batch when built) available as a separate kit from Nu-Cast.

 

No.2282, another Bachmann Collet Goods, only this time towing an ex-Great Central Railway tender acquired by the GWR when they purchased a number of Robinson R.O.D. 2-8-0 freight locos after the First World War. As the R.O.D.s were scrapped, it was common to attach the still-serviceable tenders to other locos, Collett Goods and "Aberdares" among them.

 

A 39XX class 2-6-2 tank of a 1907 Churchward design, incorporating parts from withdrawn Dean Goods locos. This model was constructed from a Jackson Evans kit, still available from Mainly Trains in Watchet.

 

A 28XX heavy freight 2-8-0. Apart from some judicious weathering - a normal Hornby loco.

 

This one though, has been modified with a Collett cab (donated by a Mainline "Manor"). Add a fire-iron tunnel and modify the motion bracket, and you have another class in your collection - a 2884 to be precise.
