SDJR models on display after the layout was disbanded.

The 'John' referred to was my Father, whose railway photos fill a good half of my railway album. The layout got disbanded when he moved from Highbridge to London. I have just noticed that there is a bush discreetly hiding the 8F valve gear on the 7F!
Please see the set description for the background to these photos.
This was a slightly better put together diorama. The Fox Walker saddle tank was virtually just a repaint job from a white-metal kit of a GWR saddle tank. The 7F was a scratchbuilt body on a Hornby-Dublo 8F. The paint looks terrible so I won't be uploading a closer shot of that and, of course, the valve gear is not the delicate-looking set that graced the real 7F.
The converter wagons, behind the 7F, were sold by Triang, when their parent company Rovex had bought Hornby. They had the Dublo coupling, which was similar to the Peco one, at one end and the Triang hook and loop one at the other end. They were sold cheaply so you could run both manufacturers' rolling stock together. There were the open wagons seen here and a horse box, which allowed passenger trains to be hauled by the other maker's locos. I bought 8 or 10 open wagons and ran them in pairs, having painted them in private owner liveries.
