Highbridge Vicarage model railway layout mk3 - circa 1965

Please see the set description for the background to these photos.
This was a GWR branchline with S&D running powers! It was hard enough to signal it with GW signals let alone S&D and it was before Mike's Models were around with their S&D water columns. Anyway our first loco was the diecast Gaiety pannier tank on a Triang chassis - but it did have etched brass numberplates - 5708. The private owners, apart from a couple of Peco Wonderful Wagons, with the sprung axleboxes, were all handpainted.
Both the GWR and S&D had 'Bulldog' locos. The GWR's were 4-4-0 passenger engines. The S&D's were 0-6-0 goods engines and the 'Bulldog' tag was more of a nickname given by their loco crews.
