Modelling the GCR
Posted: Thu Sep 19, 2024 3:44 am
Hello everyone, first post here!
I’ve always wanted to model the GCR, and I’ve decided to focus on around 1947 (immediately before nationalisation). I have a Bachmann B1 (1123) that I’m going to use, but I have no idea what coaches were in use at that time. Could anyone here please tell me the usual formation for express and stopping trains at that time?
I am also aware that a few GW locos ran cross country services at the time (via Culworth Junction), but I know very little about these trains, any information on these services would be much appreciated.
LONG LIVE THE GREAT CENTRAL!
