Thanks Bill and John S,
The pointwork I was thinking of using them on is already fully operational
and is driven by droppers from each switch blade. The droppers link to the
working tie-bar, which is a piece of square section ABS sliding in some bits
of bigger square section underneath  the board.
What I was hoping the Ambis bits would do is provide the cosmetic impression
of a tie-bar in the right place (where there is currently a space); all
they'd have to do is move with the switch blades rather than actually drive
them.

I started a model of Hemyock almost 30 years ago and I've got quite a few
reference books. The only picture I can find of a Toad on the branch is the
one Jim alluded to, in Paul Karau's Branchline Termini - that's dated 1955.
I think out and out goods trains were very few and far between with mixed
trains being the order of the day. Most of the pictures from the 1920s and
30s of trains which included unfitted wagons seem to show the regular 2
coach set split with the wagons in between. Presumably the passengers (if
there were any!) were carried in the first coach with the one at the end
just acting as a brake. How's the model coming along?

Bruce,

Given the relatively small train loads involved, together with the way in
which all trains were run as mixed, I would have thought that one of the
standard 16T goods brakes (as per the Peco kit) would have been the most
likely, probably dedicated to the branch. Wild Swan's Great Western Branch
Line Termini, Vol 2, has a section on Hemyock and is worth a read.
Unfortunately, it has only two photographs of goods workings, one of which
is a farm removal special (and therefore atypical). The other is of a more
normal mixed train, and shows all of two, possibly three, wagons behind the
coach, with a GWR brake van bringing up the rear. All of the remaining
photographs of mixed workings show the milk tanks which, being vacuum
brakes, could be coupled either ahead or behind the one coach according to
operating convenience. The limitations of running round at Hemyock would
suggest that they would probably be marshalled at the Tiverton end of the
train so that they could be easily atta
  ched and detached from the carriage and shunted into the dairy siding.

Regards,

Jim

I used it on line to check a loco drawing reference a fellow Yahooer (?) had
given me - it confirmed that yes this was a side and end view of an LB&SCR E6
loco so I downloaded the order form, completed it and posted with a cheque.
Drawing came, but it is of an E6X (bigger boiler, wider tanks, etc, etc.). So
searching worked, but cataloging was wrong. I have e-mailed them to point out
the error, but heard nothing to date. Anyone want an E6X drawing?

I made some up a few years ago. Very realistic but not very robust - to put
it mildly! They use, I assume they still do, a sliver of pcb to which brass
etchings are soldered to connect to the point blades. I decided in the end
to err on the side of durability rather than appearance.

I tried to use the Search Engine to track down a photo and found it
cumbersome, giving little indication as to whether I was progressing in the
right direction.  I telephoned to ask if I had missed some fundamentals and
was told it was not designed like a conventional online search engine such
as Google but more as an aid to visitors. My photo enquiries directed me to
the Midland Railway Society website which has an unusual flexible search
facility that works very well.  Once I had a reference number from the MR
site I could then contact NRM who scanned the relevant pictures from a set
of reference prints.  Once the prints had been scanned ( a couple of weeks I
think) I received an e-mail saying I could now order them using the order
form on the NRM website.  Once the money was sent off the prints came by
return.

It lacks a proper computer type index, it needs someone who is prepared to

be, book, author, subject, but not to the degree of detail to find every

However, though the staff aren't all knowledgeable on railways, once pointed

Hi John,
They have been around a very long time. For many years those , CCW and
Firmco were the only kits around. If you were lucky you might find a old Dawson
kit. Only ever built  one of those  for an LMS Stanier tender.  When I look at
the Gazette today there is hardly anything you cannot get now.
Wonderful models but to me its  nowhere near as much fun as it used to be.

John,

Anyone going to the show may have "to walk there" as yet again the Underground
is shutting the line and therefore East Ham station for engineering work. How
many years do we have to endure of these weekend shut downs? The bus
replacements are never as good as the trains.

What happened to "single line working" especially on open line stretches such as
this?

Bruce,
I was looking at "The Culm Valley Railway" by Colin G.Maggs, Oakwood Press 2006.
On page 118, Colin Maggs states
"Until the last few years of the branch when curves were eased slightly, a
'Toad' the common GWR brake van was not permitted."
I am not a GW expert, but I thought 'Toad' was a GW telegraphic code for all
brake vans, so this statement would imply all goods brake vans were banned,
which sounds extreme.
On the same page there is a 1965 picture of a (20T?) toad W35962 on a Hemyock
train at Tiverton Junction, which must be after the easing of curves.
Interestingly the van is branded 'Taunton RU'. I believe all GW brake vans were
restricted use in the BR era.

Patrick

Andy,

The usual rule for the exposed ironwork is that it would be black when made -
japanned is, I think, the term for the process, essentially a coat of a black
lacquer. On the inside of the wagon, it would simply be left that colour - only
the outside got painted.

For underframes, the general rule is that the solebars and headstocks are the
same colour as the body if wood, or black if steel, almost irrespective of the
owner right through to BR days.

This wagon building is becoming a habit! As I need grey for the Stephenson
Clarke wagon/s I thought I'd also build the Slater's MR 8 ton open (ref. 7027)
that's in the cupboard. It requires the usual full detailing of the inside, but
what colour should the internal washer plates and knees ironwork be for late
20's LMS(black or grey)? Finally, should the solebars be grey or black. (Note: I
only have SR wagon books and no MR/LMS ones as this will be the only example).

Bob,

The Adnams is but one reason I returned to East Anglia - I'm just 40 mins drive
away from the brewery:-)))

You won't get a pint I'm afraid, but you should be able to find bottles of
various Adnams brews in the nearest main branches of any of the 'Big 4'
supermarket chains, and if you are really desperate the Adnams on-line shop will
ship you any amount.

I fully agree with John H about Tribute, having recently returned from a West
Country tour that included staying in a pub in Mousehole.

Perhaps you should book yourself a holiday around the time of the Southwold show
in early August, it attracts Jim McGeown, Rick McLeish and Ian Kirk's southern
proxy (apologies - name gone again) as well as local 7mm modelling Groups. John
H will no doubt be on the Guild stand again - any excuse;o)

I have been having a problem with UK2.net - who look after my modelrail.net
domain.

They have been doing an update on their mail system which has had the effect of
putting a complete block on all my emails.

Now that something appears to be stirring in the electronic undergrowth I
thought I would see if I could actually post a message and get it returned.

Gosh, these kits have been around for a VERY long time.  I can remember
building a ROD 2-8-0 back in the mid-70s, and they were regarded as very
basic even then.

Are they still under the same ownership?

John.
