    Welcome to my first blog post on the National Preservation forum. I will try and post a report on as many excursions as I can, from the lineside. I have already seen a few railtours this year, all four with either 6024 or 35028, and this report should, at one stage, have been about 6024 again.

  5. 76084 in Miniature

    by , 12-02-2012 at 06:07 PM (BR Standard 4MT 2-6-0s)
    A Bachmann OO gauge model of the Standard 4 2-6-0 has been customised by the Model Centre of Whitby to 76084.

    Complete with 10H shedplate and 3 overhead wire flashes on the front, TMC have used images of 76084 in BR service to faithfully reproduce a true-to-life model.

    Have a look at some images here>> the owner thinks it is brilliant. What do you think?
