Chasewater Railway Museum – A further addition to our model collection

Chasewater Railway Museum 

A further addition to our model collection

DSCF2622

The latest addition to the Chasewater Railway Museum collection of Hornby ’0’ gauge is a slightly careworn and minus one buffer Pratts motor spirit tank wagon in green livery, representing the Anglo American Oil Company brand.

Reference to the New Cavendish publication in the Hornby Companion series shows that this particular example could only have been produced during the period 1923-1929, which means that it is the oldest ‘0’gauge Hornby wagon in the collection.

It came at the reasonable purchase price of £13.50

Chasewater Railway Museum- more new stuff

Three more items for the collection, one in the Commercial Equipment case and the other two, Hornby models.

DSCF9009

This first one is an unusually shaped inkwell, brown earthenware marked GER (Great Eastern Railway)

DSCF9014

Secondly, a Hornby ‘0’ gauge Junction Signal.

DSCF9016

Finally, a Hornby ‘0’ gauge Water Crane.  ( In my youthful (!) innocence I have always thought of them as water towers, but people who know about such things tell me that they are water cranes).
