Trophies!

Hello Simon,

Nice to see you here!

I wouldn't get too excited about the trophies. I think a regular pulse qualifies you for some!

For those that don't know you, how about an introduction once you have found your way around the site.

Cheers,

Richard

Cheers Richard; I'll begin my intro. by trying to upload a photo. This one, of particular interest to fans of Gauge 1 German railways is my scratch-built 2mm Tilbury tank complete with scale hand to show its comparative size.

I notice you didn't show it with the God-awful N gauge chassis you're putting under that exquisite body:)

Nice to see LTSR locos :thumbs:.

Here are two photos from my Grandfather's collection. He used to commute from Leigh-on-Sea to Fenchurch Street where he attended the City Of London School for Boys. These are poor quality as I've scanned these from fading contact prints. The 4-4-2 no. 2153 is taken at Fenchurch Street and the 4-6-4 no. 2102 somewhere along the line.

The shot of the 4-6-4t looks like it could be somewhere between Southend Central and Westcliff.

Thanks for posting these Dave, I have a keen interest in the L.T.&S.R. I have a nice coloured G.A. of a 4-4-2t awaiting a future scratch build:D

I have just come across some more of my Grandfather's photos. LTSR 4-4-2 either no.2158 or 2168 at Shoeburyness, MR 2-4-0 no 110 and 0-6-0 no. 3808 or 3809 at Southend and a GER 4-4-0 no 1799 at Southend Victoria. The 1799 is in large numerals on the tender. I'll scan these post these if you're interested.

Dave that would be great, might be best to start a new thread for the LTSR.
Photo's like these are invaluable as they not only show the main subject but also the surrounding infrastructure at the time. :thumbs:
