The second incarnation of the LMS railcar is coming along nicely. As well as the two cars that survived the conversion, the train is completed by a wire wagon. This vehicle was itself also a conversion having started life as a Midland Railway 6-wheel 30 foot coach.
This render is an attempt at recreating what appears to have been the only surviving photo of the complete train, as published in the December 1949 edition of Railways.
Malcolm Mounteer says
"The Super Swimming Stadium at Morecambe, Lancashire, was one of the grandest of the 1930s modernist seaside lidos. This massive structure measuring 396ft. by 110ft. was said to be the largest outdoor pool in Europe when it opened in 1936, accommodating some 1200 bathers and 3000 spectators. Unusually for an inter-war lido, it was designed not in-house by a Borough Engineer but by two architects, Kenneth MB Cross and Cecil Sutton, who styled it to harmonise with the Streamline Moderne of Oliver Hill’s adjacent Midland Hotel"
GVVT residents SMS 120P and LMS 168W were both out and about on the Kelvin Valley Tour ran as part of the 2015 museum open weekend. The newer Fleetline LMS 168W had taken the lead at Riddrie and seen from the front deck of 120 as it sets off from Millerston lights.

Another awkward roof to be dealt with. In this case caused by the geometry and the need to lower the working deck to provide a lip but still have some way to attach the cheese slopes. Underneath it's a riot of brackets.

This Scania BR112DH was one of a pair bought new by Greater Manchester PTE in early 1983 for evaluation.
New to Leigh depot, the pair moved to Atherton when that depot closed in 1986 and would have visited Liverpool on the 39 service, and later on the 34 'Express'
They moved to Manchester's Hyde Road depot in 1991 to join five N113's that were purchased new.
They passed to Stagecoach when they purchased the South part of GM Buses in 1996 and following sale passed to West Yorkshire Scania collector, Black Prince of Morley. It was during their time here that the second of the pair was found to have a cracked chassis and was later scrapped. The first one would see further service with Aintree Coachline and later LMS Buses, as seen here. LMS would be its last operator and from there it entered preservation. It currently resides with the Selnec Preservation Society in an unrestored state.

Scruffy ex-LMS Fowler 3F 0-6-0T 47649 at Crewe works in September 1966, with what appears to be a North British 0-4-0DM on the right.. The loco has ‘Sir William A Stanier’ and ‘LMS’ chalked on the side..
The loco had entered service in 1929, and was withdrawn soon after this photo was taken, in October 1966, and scrapped in February 1967. Nine examples have been preserved..
Today (2024) most of the works site has been redeveloped, and occupied by housing and retail outlets, and a park. Part of the works is still in use for maintenance and repairs, and for some new construction, including components for the new HS2 units..
Restored from an under-exposed cyan-colour-shifted original..

Two versions to build, two builds complete.
The "before" and the "after". The gloriously curvy inter-war era passenger railcar above and the ugly duckling it became in its role as a maintenance train following the end of the war.
"She used to be an iron horse, 50 years ago..." or so Saxon might have said in this decade!
Immaculately restored in Crimson Lake, LMS Princess Coronation Class no. 6233 "Duchess of Sutherland" awaits the signal at Peterborough on 1Z48, the return leg of the "Lindum Fayre" charter train taking punters back from the Lincoln Christmas Markets to Ealing Broadway.

Managed to get 3 working front LED lights on 10000.
Both have 9v motors in. The pics dont really show it but I managed to get hold of some metalic brushed aluminium vinyl for the numbers and lettering, which looks very nice IRL and true to proto. 3mm tube is LEGO metalic silver, again the pics dont show it well.
I've also tried to include the subtle differences between the engines ;)
These are the first 7 wide full size diesels I have done (they were sort of a test to see if I can re-visit the class 37 and 40) and also now the longest at 2 or 4 studs (cant remember) longer than the Pullman DMU units.
Narrowboat done out in the LMS railway livery. Seen along the Basingstoke canal near Woking, Surrey.
13065 hauling the ELR evening diner towards Summerseat. A very overcast and humid night, so just a wisp of exhaust.
Kelvin Central took the last remaining Fleetlines in the GRT owned Midland Bluebird fleet in late 1992. This included LMS 164W from the 1980 delivery to Alexander (Midland) pressed into service with GRT style Midland livery with KCB red front and rear ends.
LMS 164W became KCB 1989 and is seen on Mitchell Street in Kirkwood, Coatbridge working the through service to Petersburn in Airdrie.

Heading through the Cumbrian fells in a scene from 1937 - 1939, when the train was withdrawn due to WW2. A jigsaw puzzle I picked up in a charity shop, but too good a picture not to post.
Not happy with the size (too short) of this thing... or how the windows look.
Scrapped today, to help make three new coaches that’ll I’ll be unveiling soon...

Once you've made one car it's a lot easier to make the others. The techniques have been decided upon and it's simply a case of copying them over. The centre coach is a different length to the outer two, as per the original train.
I'll admit that this render is a bit of a cheat. I've not included the powered coach so that you can see through all three cars.

The midday sun reflects off the rusting remains of 28690 a former MerseyRail Class 503 unit, built at Metro Cammell in 1938. Certainly a long term project and one not for the faint hearted. Seen at the Coventry Electric Railway Museum prior to its closure on 8 October 2017, the unit has since moved to Locomotive Storage Limited at Margate.
Visiting locomotives 45212 and 13065 climb uphill from Haworth to Oxenhope on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. It had been a nice sunny afternoon up until this point, when to the disappointment of the assembled photters the clouds rolled in from behind this vantage point.
Almost 70 years to the day of the expiry of the Big Four Grouping in favour of Nationalisation, York played host to three representatives of the groups which were to form British Railways in 1948.

BR class 08, 08805 at Tyseley depot, Birmingham, seen in its ficticious LMS red livery adjacent to the main depot entrance on the Warwick Road.
The TYS based Jocko was named "Concorde" and was given its original BR number of 3973.
It is still extant in 2020, painted in Railfreight grey and is utilised as the depot shunter at Soho.
It is seen coupled to an ancient blue tank wagon, used for Etheylene Glycol, or antifreeze.
