QUOTE (Gary @ 18 Dec 2006, 09:17) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Any ideas what it is? :-

Well Peter has told you what it is, so I'll tell you where. (although it's a fairly old photo).

This was taken at Sheffield Park in the early days of the Bluebell, I think the loco in the background is P class 323.

I meant to put this in my earlier post but completely forgot..................

The correct answer is it is not a Hornby coach at all, it's a photo of the real thing!!

Definitely not the 01, the pic was taken before the loco sheds and workshops were built, the loco shed would be behind the coaches, C class is also a bit doubtful as it would have been at Ashford Steam Centre at the time this was taken.

QUOTE (Brake Compo @ 20 Dec 2006, 13:53) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Maunsell BCK 6686 arrived on the Bluebell in about 1971-2 if my memory is correct, ex-Liss & Droxford, with 30064, Blackmore Vale, Bullied CK 5768 and some other stuff.

More dodgy memory, wasn't this something to do with the movement from the erstwhile Longmoor Military Railway? (which is, of course, where the great St. Trinians train robbery was filmed)

Oops sorry, getting a bit off thread there.

OK

I conceed the class of loco, on my PC it looks like a small tank loco.

On a more serious note I have to agree with Brake Compo in that if these vehicles are to be released then the push pull versions should be ignored.

And you never did answer my supposition about this during the discussion on gasworks and trams

(Hornby is now cooking with gas)
