Model Forum / General / Railroads / July 2009Hornby july Newsletter
Looks like std 4 is on its way this month. http://static.hornby.com/files/newsletter-issue-13-july-2009-492.pdf Wonder if the Barbon Hill quarry on the Ellis and Everard wagon is near Bardon Hill or is this a Hornby 20p ? Cheers, Simon > Wonder if the Barbon Hill quarry on the Ellis and Everard wagon is near > Bardon Hill or is this a Hornby 20p ? Think it should be Bardon Hill - see: http://www.aggregate.com/history/bardon_hill_quarries.aspx John. >> Wonder if the Barbon Hill quarry on the Ellis and Everard wagon is near >> Bardon Hill or is this a Hornby 20p ?

Very interesting site youve linked to there, been to Bardon a few times but lots of new info thanks.

I expect they are avoiding trademarks and things, a sort of Skaledale approach to privateer wagons. Bardon Hill was a customer of mine time upon a once, I used to be a control systems programmer writing asphalt plant control systems.

Cheers, Simon > I expect they are avoiding trademarks and things, a sort of Skaledale > approach to privateer wagons. Doubt it, especially as they're using the Ellis & Everard name on the wagon - reckon it's just a gaff.

Or maybe they are fans of the Barbon hillclimb :-) Guy Signaturehttp://www.chapmancentral.co.uk/wiki/Railway >> I expect they are avoiding trademarks and things, a sort of Skaledale >> approach to privateer wagons.

If the mistake is confined to the picture then recon I'll take 3 or 4 being as wot theyre local, could fill them with the correct stone :-) John - if you find out can you let me know ? cheers, Simon > If the mistake is confined to the picture then recon I'll take 3 or 4 > being as wot theyre local, could fill them with the correct stone :-) > John - if you find out can you let me know ? I'll see what I can find out. They've not appeared in stock as yet. John. > I'll see what I can find out. They've not appeared in stock as yet. R6442 'Ellis & Everard' 5-plank wagons just arrived in stock. They are correctly letter 'Bardon Hill'. John. >> I'll see what I can find out.

Have to have some of these, will look nice as a mineral train loaded with authentic stone from Bardon - need good hammer though. Occured to me that as have a number of PO wagons from local collieries, could say that each has a load of coal collected from the actual site of each colliery - now that would sound real rivet couning !
