for
Appledore
Although this is not a complete list of rolling stock to be found running on Appledore it is an indicative one of the stock that will almost certainly be seen running as other stock is owned by others and is dependant on them being at a show.
All locos and rolling stock have been fitted with Kadee couplers and most locos now have decoders fitted, with the remainder soon to be fitted with decoders
Wagons and remaining Coaches are yet to be added to the list

renumbered and weathered.

Kemilway kit | This has
taken over 10 years to complete as it was put away when the layout
was turned into a 1980's era layout. The motor originally fitted
was replaced in October 2000 at the Croydon show with an H11 type
from Roxey Moldings and now works very well. The loco just needs to
be weathered. Transfers are by Fox
Transfers.

34099 |
Old Hornby model | This loco has now been retired from shows as it has been replaced with a newer Hornby model. |
| Merchant Navy
'New Zealand Line'' |
35021 |
Hornby | This is one
of the
best locos Hornby have produced to date so apart from cutting out the
plastic coal load, constructing a coal bunker and adding a half load
of coal and weathering the loco not much else has been done.
As far as we are aware these locos never made it to North Devon but this was a too nice a loco not to have on the layout. |
| Merchant Navy
'Elder Fyffes' |
35016 |
Latest Hornby release | Much the same as 'New Zealand Line' except that Hornby have now used the chassis block off the West Country locos and therefore requires the front steps and brake rods to be fixed after purchasing. Also it comes fitted with NEM coupler pockets allowing a straight swap for NEM Kadee couplers. |
| B4 tank |
Not yet numbered |
Mcgowan Models | This loco was started many years ago but is now in running condition minus pickups but should be complete fairly soon. |
| Diesel Locos | |||
| Class 08 shunter | New Hornby model | This is a very very nice model and runs so well it is often used as the station shunter. It also has finer coupling rods than the Bachmann one so can run on all parts of the layout. NEM Kadees fit straight into the coupler pockets. | |
| Class 08 shunter |
D3729 |
Bachmann | Very nice model that has been weathered. Problem is that the coupling rods hit the platform face as they stick out a bit too far. This loco is likely to be retired now that the new Hornby one is in use. |
| Class 22 North British Hydraulic | Hornby | This was built
using the Hornby Class 29 body cut down and the grilles from the
Craftsman kit used. The chassis is scratch built with a Branchlines
motor bogie fitted with spoked wheels. The bogie sides were cast by
a friend who did intend to bring out a resin / white metal kit some
years ago but never did.
The Silver Fox kit is a nice resin kit which has been released since this loco was modified. This has been fitted with a Howes class 35 Loksound decoder |
|
| Hymek Class 35 | Heljan | A very nice model , this will almost certainly replace the modified Hornby one below once it has been renumbered and weathered and fitted with NEM type Kadee couplers that are a straight swap for the NEM type tension lock couplers. | |
| Hymek class 35 | Hornby | This loco has had the body sides reprofiled to mach that of the protoype. The windows have also been enlarged and flush glazed. With the purchase of the new Heljan model this loco has now been retired. | |
| Class 121 railcar and trailer coach | Lima | This was constructed from the Lima 2 car set before they brought out the single car. This has been repainted and flush glazed but one day will also be remotored and re wheeled. | |
| Class 121 railcar | 55027 | Hornby | This has been fitted with a Mr Soundguy Loksound decoder |
| 50000 | |||
| Class 122 railcar | Lima | As above railcar. | |
| Class 117 DMU | Lima | The driving trailer has been modified to have windows and seats all the way along and the corridor connections removed as per the prototypes as originally built. | |
| DEMU 2H 2 car | DC Kits | This still has to be finished plus the roof engine panel altered from that supplied to the correct shorter length. | |
| Coaches | |||
| Bullied brake composite | Southern Pride /Comet | This coach consist of a Southern Pride body shell will Comet etched brass sides. This is numbered as per the coach used for a while on the Torrington to Halwill Junction service. | |
| Maunsell coaches | New Hornby models | These obtained during 2008 are now having Kadees fitted and weathered, so will eventually replace the Ian Kirk ones at shows - shame in many ways as many details added to the Ian Kirk ones but yet the Hornby ones look much better! | |
| Maunsell coaches | Ian Kirk Kits | These coaches are the mainstay of the
passenger fleet. They have extra detail added to the underframes such
as the dynamo belts etc. Corridor connections have also been added
along with door handles and grab rails.
Kadee number 5's have been fitted to the bogies. The new Hornby Mansell coaches are very nice and it is tempting to replace these coaches but as so much work has been done on them we shall wait and see! |
