The Medip Belle and the Sentinel

Going through the camera files from last year I came across the following. I was at the North East Somerset early Spring to get some pictures of the cab of their class 56xx as I had to do some butchery on mine* to get a sound decoder and speaker in. Bachmann were not keen on me reproducing the back of the cab, ESR were quite happy to let me snap away. Roomy affair, and the RTR model does not do the prototype detail any justice. I ended up cutting the Bachmann one in half rather than scratch building.

So, the Mendip Belle 0-6-0 Saddle tank and the RR Sentinel, which were running on the day I went over.

*Mine is now EM gauge, ESU Loksound v4 sound. The decoder and speaker are in the cab/bunker space. Plans in hand to swap the ESU Loksound speaker for a sugar-cube extended bass speaker and a small treble speaker.
