Presenting a gallery of detailed locomotives to run
on 'Bournemouth West for the S&DJR', usually after they've gone
through the Grouping
Workbench phase of having extra bits and pieces added, or have
had paint jobs and lining.
SR 4-6-0 Urie Class N15 No E741 'Joyous Gard'
Still carrying its eight-wheel bogie tender. A BH Enterprises white
metal kit on a Poole-era Graham Farish chassis (with a brass central
cog), bought fully made up, painted and lined, but still needing
vacuum pipes, a new cab fall plate, a running number on the back
of the tender, 'E' classifications above the numbers on the side of
the tender, and crew, plus some scratches and scrapes to be painted
over. Work began with this workbench
entry.
SR 4-6-0 Urie Class N15 No E743 'Lyonesse'
Fitted with an eight-wheel bogie tender, this is another BH Enterprises
white metal kit on a Poole-era Graham Farish chassis (with a brass central
cog), bought fully made up, but painted in BR Brunswick Green. A
full repaint and lining was carried out by Ozymandius of the N Gauge
Forum, who also added the front vacuum pipe, and then a cab fall plate
was added along with front buffer hook and chains, a fresh coal load
to show a half-empty tender, red cab side plaques, and crew and
tools. The wheel centres were painted in Maunsell Green and name
plates were added. Work began with this workbench
entry.
SR 2-6-0 Maunsell Class N No A868
This is a temporary visitor to the SR Western Section from Ashford -
as a new Graham Farish model it was already fully detailed apart
from some real coal being added to the tender, but it still needs a
crew.
SR 4-4-0 Drummond Class T9 No E304
Union Mills. Fitted with a six-wheel tender for service in the
Eastern Division, but temporarily seconded back to the Bournemouth
area. Maunsell Green paintwork corrected and then fully lined by
Ozymandius of the N Gauge Forum. Further detailing added, including
real coal and crew, front and rear buffer beam hooks, lamp irons,
and vacuum pipes. Work began with this workbench
entry.
SR 0-6-0 Drummond Class 700 No 368
Union Mills. Plain black livery, one of the early ones to be
detailed by me with buffer beam hooks and chains, vacuum pipes,
lamp irons, copper pipes, real coal, crew and tools. It could
do with being lined green and having an 'E' added above its
number. Work began with this workbench
entry.
SR 0-4-4T Drummond Class M7 No 247
Dapol. Weak enough to be troubled by skin on a rice pudding, so
extra leaded weights were added underneath the chassis. The
numbering was changed from 37 to 49 to 247, on the sides, rear, and
front buffer beam. Real coal was added to the bunker, tools and
spare coal on top of the side tanks, and a good deal of everyday
grubbiness was added around the running plate and tank tops, along
with a driver in the cab. Work began with this workbench
entry.
SR 0-6-0 ex-LB&SCR Class A1X 'Terrier' No 735
Dapol. The LSWR bought two Terriers from the LB&SCR, and this one,
No 735, lasted until 1930 (mostly in storage). My story is that it
has been pulled out of storage for one last test in service before
being sold off. Lettering removed from side tanks and new lettering
printed on a laserjet. The Westinghouse gear was removed along with
the bunker rails and front steps. Sanding boxes from N Brass loco were
added over the splashers with hand-painted lining finishing them off,
a new N Brass Loco chimney replaced the Dapol plastic one, and
mechanical pull-and-push cable equipment was added to the cab roof.
Given its long-term storage, quite a few layers of grimy grey were
washed over the body.
