Bachmann OO Gauge Raveningham Hall - Nigels - 04-03-2018

Here we go a lovely Hall class steam locomotive, depicted as Raveningham Hall in this lovely limited edition model. This one is so special it has a 9ct gold badge on the bottom of the loco model and comes in a foam padded polished wooden box Smile

Plenty of nice moulded rivets there for you to count too Super! Smile

Enjoy!

Oh my! How beautiful is that? And what a wonderful box...almost makes you not want to take it out for a run.........almost. Big Grin

Loving those rivets Smile

Curious as to what the circled insignia is...looks like a couple bottles of milk.

RE: Bachmann OO Gauge Raveningham Hall - Nigels - 04-03-2018

I know what you mean, to run or not to run is the question. Confused

I'm not sure about the logo to be honest, I'll get a real closeup for you so you can see, I suspect it is a couple of people or similar, but lets not speculate Smile

RE: Bachmann OO Gauge Raveningham Hall - Nigels - 04-03-2018

Ok, so here's a close up pic, as you can see it is actually a coat of arms of some sort, I guess there's a limit to how detailed even tampo printing can get as its not totally clear but there again the printing is only a couple of mm high so its not too bad Smile

But a bit of googling brings you to this all about the Great Western Railway and its COAT OF ARMS - shown on the right Smile

GW Wikipedia

LOL...when I looked real hard at your picture Nigel...I was sure it was a candle on the left and a Teddy Bear on the right.

RE: Bachmann OO Gauge Raveningham Hall - Nigels - 04-03-2018

I know what you mean, its amazing the detail your brain fills in when there's not enough info Smile

Oh man, what a beautiful locomotive! And remember, if there’s ever a question of whether to run it, ask yourself what James May would do! Wink

Wait, are you saying that Super is a rivet counter? Huh

RE: Bachmann OO Gauge Raveningham Hall - Nigels - 04-05-2018

As if, Super just happened to comment in another thread that he loved rivets and if there's one thing GWR loco's have in spades its rivets Big Grin

RE: Bachmann OO Gauge Raveningham Hall - Super - 04-05-2018

Rivets??? I thought he said Ribbits...

RE: Bachmann OO Gauge Raveningham Hall - Nigels - 04-05-2018

Rivet counting is the sign of a true train enthusiast, thankfully its something I've not fallen foul of yet lol...
