​The NMT made a return to ex-LSWR metals today, on its monthly visit, running from Reading Triangle sidings to Salisbury, via Exeter and Yeovil Jct, The attached views show it approaching Crewkerne on its way to Salisbury top-n-tailed by 43013 and 014.

Hope they are of interest

Class 122 Model Research
Alan Harris

Today I received yet another O Gauge loco to add to my collection, I think I shall have to move house! It is an O gauge brass built Class 122, photos of which are attached. It was made by, as number of of the high quality O gauge models were, by the Chinese firm San Cheng who are sadly no longer in business. It has a running number of W55026, Set Number L126 with a reporting code of 2C78 on one end and 2C91 on the other. My online research shows that the original was based at Laira for some time , certainly worked the Liskeard Looe branch and may have worked St. Erth to St. Ives also whilst running as set P126. I have been trying to find information on the train reporting codes, without any success. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
