In about 1948 (?) we moved into 107 The Causeway. At that time it was three dwellings and about 1952 (?) we were able to convert it to just two dwelling as it is today. Good fun to see this video!

Id contradict your point on the standards. Here me out. The 2-6-2s are based off of lms prairies, some of which were inspired by the success of the GWR prairies. Also, the standard 5s (and smaller standard 4s) are loosely based off the lms black 5, which was inspired by the GWR Halls. In this case, certain great western locos are essentially grandfathers to some of the standard designs, so there may have been a bit more western region influence in those designs than we'd otherwise think

I am surprised that, unlike other KZfaq channels, you do not include links with each video description such as your website, a PayPal, Kofi or Patreon link and so on. I know you link to your website in your About section - but how many people look at that? I also know you link in the description to your "Become A Friend Of Pendon Museum" site. However, that implies a level of commitment that might not appeal to a casual visitor. Direct links in every video description might bring in additional revenue as some people who cannot visit you in person might well want to send a donation your way to support you. Even with the processor fees, getting something of something has to be better than getting all of nothing! If you go down this route, add the information retrospectively to your already published videos as well. You never know when people will find you.

I remember unloading parcels (some very heavy) on the up slow platform at Watford Jct. just before the early morning rush of passenger trains to Euston. We worked so fast that parcels were piled up against the Station Master's door and then when the train pulled out much of the pile fell onto the tracks. We then jumped down to clear that and then it was a heckof a rush to barrow (before the B.R.U.T.E.S.) it all down the lift to the parcels office.

Interesting. I didn't know Britain had much anthracite. Several railroads in the northeastern US fired with it in special Wooten fireboxes. It burned much cleaner than bituminous.
@ianperryman1078
@ianperryman1078 4 ай бұрын
As far as I'm aware the only major deposit of Anthracite in Britain is in South West Wales. If you look at the wagons carrying Anthracite they have the name 'Cwmgwrach' on the side, which is a village in Neath Port Talbot county borough, Wales. Like much of western South Wales coalfield, the coal was high quality anthracite. The best coal came from the deepest seam called Big Vein ( also seen on the wagons ). Cefn Coed, about 14 miles from Cwmgwrach, was worked at depths of over 2,500 feet (800m), and was the deepest anthracite mine in the world at that time.

Many thanks for watching. It is (as @smhorse thought) a Mallard/Blacksmith etched brass model of some vintage. It has been upgraded as with all of our stock with particular attention to valve gear. In fact the model predates the Kernow offering by some decades. If we were to get another model, we would probably choose Jeremy Suter's exquisite etched kit - See Scalefour Society for availability.
