Video shows my P4 converted Bachmann S&D 7F 53809 on a down coal train, a trip freight from Westerleigh Yard, passing under Lawrence Hill road bridge - my latest project on the layout - to pass the shed yard with coaling and ash plants. The train has a brake van at each end and will run into Bristol West Depot for onward movement.
The 7F is due for weathering in the near future.

Re: S&D 7F on coal train
Excellent work Robin. Still no sign of me and my mates hanging out on the swings but then maybe it is a weekday and we are at school. Does the bus have a destination? No 8 for Warmley, 13 for Briar Way or 14 for New Cheltenham spring to mind.

Re: S&D 7F on coal train
Roy, I have a visit booked to Modelu in a few weeks so I intend to ask him about a " trainspotters pack" as a future project:-)
The Bristol K6 is marked as a #8 to Kingswood just short of the Warmley destination. I believe there was a 8A as well.

I stand corrected! Of course it was still possible to reach Warmley by train back then on a Bristol - Bath Green Park - Bournemouth service. Usually a BR standard 82xxx tank in lined green with a 3-car Bulleid 59 foot shortie set.
