Sometimes, my eyesight is quite good, so I take advantage of such times by adding some of the detailed finery to locos & the like. I get carried away with enthusiasm, sometimes without testing & I was embarrassed recently in front of company when one of our Halls, which had not been on the railway for ages until last week, was misbehaving with the brake gear fouling the auto uncoupler in the fiddle yard. The problem was solved when I removed the rodding. Just realised that the real problem was that I had put it on upside down. All perfect now, so now two Halls are replacing a Grange & a Std Class 4. One is a modified "Hawksworth" Hall, whilst the other, based at Leamington for many years, but recently out-shopped from Swindon works. So, two pristine Halls in charge of the once a day through fitted & refrigerated goods from Redhill to Wolverhampton.
In real life, the Granges were smaller wheeled Halls, very sure footed on hills maintaining good speed, whereas the Std Class 4 struggled to maintain timing, more akin to a Manor power output. The Halls, were very versatile locos capable of handling most classes of traffic, almost the Black 5 for the Western Region. ![]() |

Hi Philip, Why is it you didn't turn out to be an engine driver, a lot of boys lived that dream back in the 'good ol' days !
I hope you are successful with the Christmas star and thank you although there is no pressure on, must be getting busy
along those tracks leading up to Christmas. Avaguden ! ![]() |
