Ashford & Basingstoke
| Train set E - The LB&SCR Billinton Set For larger photos click on the images below. This is a 4-carriage ex LB&SCR set from the Central section. |
 |
The Train engine is a B1 NºB172, perhaps better known as a Gladstone, formally Littlehampton. It was the last in service and never received its new Southern number. The worst parts to make on the model were the brakes as they are independent clasp brakes on each wheel with a cylinder and pull rod each side of the wheel and are not mechanically linked. |
