Garden Railway Forum

Ok folks, I've decided that the theme for this next Gallery is:

"Double Headed"
Any train, passenger or freight, in any appropriate situation being hauled by two loco's. Will also allow a normal train with a Banker attached at the rear.

Rules as usual and closing date for entry will be 1st December 2022.

Now that's an interesting theme Philip..... I will give it some thought.

Would a 16mm scale model of Zaphod Beeblebrox count??

Two heads better than one....

Not quite what I had in mind but I see absolutely no reason why it isn't a worthy 'think outside the box' entrant!

You should know me by now!

Quick question... which one is the train engine and which one is the Banker???

Depends on the direction of travel, simples!!!

I suppose it's more of a double-head-and-tailer ..... but wonderful all the same!

Rik

Peter, is it a trick of the camera, or are both ends different? - The two cabs / bonnets appear different lengths.

Phil.P

Phil, both ends are identical in length, they originate from 1970's, Japanese made, model car radios, which I have used several times to make railbus models....
(p.s. apologies for thread drift)

My pictures all end up looking the same – but anyway, here’s another one.

Semi-scale BR: Double-headed Bulleids
His initial proposals for replacing the Southern fleet of ancient tank engines. Didn’t happen, of course.

[Below] I like this angle from the other side too – but not the fence in the background.
You’ll notice Eddie Howe leaning out of the leading locomotive.

I think your photos look great BertieB

Rod — Thank you very much!

Just a Bump/Reminder that there is only 2 weels to go to enter. Closing date is 1st Dec!!

I don’t have much in the way of double heading action in my saved photos and the weather isn’t really conducive to getting the trains out for a play just now. However I will enter this still from a video I made a couple of summers ago.

“At the double”

I'm afraid I am devoid of any double header photos, but look forward to voting on the entries received. Some lovely images so far!

I'll throw a debut entry in this time around, though it's not of the usual quality I see here. Most will recognise these locos as being twenty years apart in design. "With some help from my friends:"

Thats a lovely shot, Ted.

That’s a good pic Ted
