The plan is to make the 10 E22's from the later 1893 series as well as making all 20 E22's (early and late) available in LNER black. I don't know if they will be available in the later post war GER grey livery (which I don't care much for anyway).
These screenshots are excellent Annie!! When it comes to the GER, NOBODY Knows it better than you!!One of the ex-Windweather Tramway tram engines has leaking boiler tubes so Moxbury shed has loaned the Tenpenny branch E22 No.150 while it's undergoing repairs. "Don't get too comfortable with it, - we want it back", is what the Moxbury shed foreman told the Tenpenny Wharf shed foreman by all accounts.
I've been revising the passenger schedule for the Tenpenny branch with a new service from Tenpenny Wharf to Mosston on Sea and then through to Windweather via the southern side of the Windweather Loop Line. - and with no roadside running a tram engine isn't needed for that.
Nicely done too George. If only the chap with the camera back in the 1950s had nipped around the other side of the signal box and taken another snap it would have made the task a lot easier for you.
Double headed Deeley rebuilt 2F's - now there's a sight to soothe sore eyes.
Doing your best to make me blush Tanker? Once ultramarine blue gets under your skin it's hard to shake it off.These screenshots are excellent Annie!! When it comes to the GER, NOBODY Knows it better than you!!
It's been too long since I last visited the Welney and Umneth Tramway, - thanks for the reminder. Make sure you wear your big coat and gloves Tanker, - stay warm
Oh wow, absolutely beautiful frosty pics!These screenshots are excellent Annie!! When it comes to the GER, NOBODY Knows it better than you!!
Over here in the Midwest, it's absolutely freezing today! Think I'll share these screenshots from the Welney and Umneth Tramway during the early transitional phase of the LNER.
I enjoyed the challenge of filling in the blanks. But it certainly is a shame that so much railway infrastructure wasn't photographed before demolition.Nicely done too George. If only the chap with the camera back in the 1950s had nipped around the other side of the signal box and taken another snap it would have made the task a lot easier for you.

Wonderful shots!The detail on those trucks is truly staggering pilotwoo.
Many thanks for the GER buildings George / Annie....they're charming and are going into my WIP wherever I can find an excuse.
Meanwhile some random Dearnbyshire:
Ed Heaps (Edh6) has made a very nice GER T26 <kuid2:403746:2536:1> GER Holden T26 - BlueSome nice image composition in here. And whoever built these routes, the landscaping looks grand.
Those little Great Eastern 0-6-0 bring to mind the first ever hard cover model railway book I bought back in the 1980s.
The Encyclopedia of Model Railroads published by Peerage Books (it is sitting right here because I might build a small route from one of its several track plans), and the story and the why of that book getting from the UK to a bookstore in the USA I do not know.
Anyway ...
Pages 128 to 133 feature scratchbuilding a GER 2-4-0 T26 class mixed traffic locomotive designed by James Holden (the real one was) in OO scale in brass.
It is an attractive little thing in that blue with lining and is partly to blame for me quickly growing to like UK steam.
It's an Aveling & Porter geared locomotive with a chain final drive to its wheels. It's based on the traction engines Aveling & Porter made for road haulage and agricultural use. That particular one in my screenshot is a model based on one of the two small Aveling & Porter locomotives that worked on the Brill branch that was eventually leased by the Metropolitan Railway. Fortunately one of the pair was save for preservation and can now be seen at the London Transport Museum.
Those are VERY excellent plank wagons Annie! I hope they find their way to the DLS one day - I'd love for the Umneth Tramway to be under the employ of Kotanga General Merchants!Ed Heaps (Edh6) has made a very nice GER T26 <kuid2:403746:2536:1> GER Holden T26 - Blue
He has also made a number of other GER engines for Trainz that are superb examples of digital model making.
Look what I found in my Inbox this morning, - thank you very kindly George.
Aw man, TANE's Manage Content - Download Station, says "Status Incompatible".
Gosh George thanks, - didn't we do well. Seeing everything all together in one place is a real 'Wow!' moment. Up until now the only genuine GER buildings for Trainz, - though in LNER colours, - were Rumour3's model of Hadham signal box. and his models of the GER 1865 design stations at Clare and North Weald. Jay Holland's nice looking 'GER' Stickney station is actually a GNR station so that one has to be crossed off the list unfortunately.
