You know your Compton Down Loco you've got SLRmidge, isn't it a IP punch or Lucy. The bonnet reminds me of one.

I now what you mean. It was advertised as a possible IP Jessie on the website, but my local 16 millers all think thats its been scratchbuilt. And in Peters book Practical Garden Railways (page 90 ) he states that its 'mostly home made in brass'. On the bonnet it says the word 'haus' which I think was an American Diesel builder, but not sure ?

Wasn't scratchbuilt by Dad - appeared in 2007 loco stock book (53 engines in there that weren't there in 2009!) Can't remember what notes said in there from memory but hope to get book back from Dads' friend that did valuations soon so will read up again.

IP was a very rough guess on my part, had that sort of feel to it to my very novice (am ashamed to say) eye.

Will be interested to see if any more info comes to light myself, happy hunting

There be one of those very rare PTLRcraft baguleys in that lot. Works No 2 of a total of 7 in existence. Is that also an Andel O&K I spy.

It's Fendyke (or how u spell it?) isn't it?

ptlrcecil · Post by **ptlrcecil** » Tue May 18, 2010 4:13 pm

Just been reading other posts and I think Midge says its an IP.

SLRmidge · Post by **SLRmidge** » Tue May 18, 2010 4:33 pm

The blue & green ones are by a firm called Outline & are made of thick plasticard, the pale green & yellow locos are by IP. Yes PTLRcecil that is one of your baguleys with engine sound & has now also a magnet activated horn sound :D

I only used to have Meldrew which is now de-commissioned. He was just too slow & too powerless so I got the battery box, the DPST switch & a gear & began to work on a much better loco BUT you will have to wait until I've finished painting it & finished wiring it up. All I can reveal is this, it has been built out of bits(much like pauly's loco & Morbious from doctor who)& it's very rewarding

Now that brings back memory's. Fantastic line and always brings a smile to my face but a slight tinge of sadness when I think of it. Infact I know where two of the coach sets are living :D
