Going travelling

It’s a new one for me this weekend as I get to play with Devil’s Bridge, the 009 layout of the Vale of Rheidol Railway built by Eddie and Rachael Field now owned by Nigel Smith. It is being displayed as part of the Statfold Barn model railway exhibition.

Some time ago I built a model of one of the VoR locos in BR blue. In my usual last minute rush I have “finished” the remainder of the train ready to create a diversion from the “monotony” of 1920s GWR locos and carriages.

The passenger carriage is a Dundas VoR carriage overlaid with a set of etched sides which are from memory from Worsley Works which I liberated from a friend.

The van is the Dundas van but skinned with plasticard to create the smooth sides as in the rebuilt form.

Neither are my best work but together they create an effect…
