Both Mk1 and Mk2 Rhiw were based around the movement of scrap and chemical traffic through the scene. Mk2 has been backdated slightly to 78-83 and not only leans more on first generation DMUs, but there is a subtle shift in wagonary. The huge slab SSAs are now on their way out and incoming are a brace of modernisation plan 21t and 16t minerals. The later are vac-fitted (Parkside PC19s) and were cascaded down to scrap haulage as the coal traffic moved to MGR wagons and longer w\/b types. The upshot is that these need removable loads. These are painted up by self, but assembled by Mr. Hill who seems to have a bottomless well of small plastic kit parts that can be chopped up for this use. <\/span><\/p>\n

Incidentally, we are looking for a couple more shows for 2024 for Rhiw. Contact via the profile button top right.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lastly congrats to (regular commenter here) Simon and new wife Gilly who tie the knot today.<\/span><\/p>\n
