Earlier this year a model company called Dapol issued a model of a Great Western pannier tank in the fictitious Great Northern &amp; Southern Railway livery used in the film. Being one of the assistant station masters at Oakworth station I thought it might be a good idea to recreate the Old Gentleman\u2019s train with the loco and 3 coaches used, to display at the forthcoming 50th anniversary event in May 2021 hopefully. The actual anniversary is 2020 but for obvious reasons it\u2019s had to be postponed.<\/p>\n<p>I obtained a kit to build the Metropolitan Railway 9 compartment 3rd and the NER 1st class 6 wheeler.<br \/>\nAs no one does a kit for this coach it\u2019s being constructed from from scratch in Plasticard with a brass chassis. This is a new method of working for me and involves a lot of research including measuring and photographing the full size vehicles, fortunately they are available at Oxenhope or The Vintage Carriage Museum at Ingrow by arrangement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bradfordmes.uk\/?p=4207\">&lt;- Back to exhibits<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;- Back to exhibits O Gauge Old Gentleman&#8217;s Saloon &nbsp; This is the start of an O gauge model of \u201c The Old Gentleman\u2019s saloon\u201d from the Railway Children film.
