- An early Pendon model built entirely from scratch (not a kit) and hand painted during the 1950's seen travelling through the imaginary GWR Branch line which runs between Exeter to Plymouth where it runs high along the southern edge of Dartmoor.
As usual a nice simple presentation. Love the Dartmoor viaduct. One comment though. The photos don't match the commentary of 44/45 locos, good though they are.
Yes a nice presentation but I agree with Robert Bale . It looks to me as if “Large “ prairies have been confused with “small”. No matter , still enjoyable.
Robert, we are very pleased you enjoyed the video and well done for spotting our mistake. The 31xx class was the production run of the trial engines in the early 1900s. These went on to be developed into the larger prairies in the 51XX and 61XX classes illustrated by 5164. It was from these larger engines that the smaller prairies of the 44XX and 45XX classes were developed. Our apologies for not making this clear in the commentary.
I so enjoy hearing an explanation of the construct and in awe of the scenery. Also enjoying my Pendon Papers! I love the prairies and although only having two, will increase my fleet just because they are a characterful tank engine. 🙏
Thank you for your very kind comments David (and very pleased you are enjoying the papers). We will be publishing more videos from within the Dartmoor scene and hope you will enjoy those too.
A most enjoyable and nicely explained video ! Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Filip
Filip, Thank you for watching, we are vey pleased you enjoyed this video.
verry nice thank,s
And thank you for watching Dierk. We are pleased you liked this video.
Another excellent explanatory film from Pendon. Well done! But there a couple of visual errors in the film: you rightly talk about and illustrate the role of Churchward's 4' 1½" small-wheeled 44xx 'Small Prairie' class in the West Country china clay traffic, then go on to describe that classes' development into the slightly larger 4' 7½" wheeled 45xx 'Small Prairie' class. Correct. Unfortunately the two photos you used the underly the narration are wrong, being examples of Churchward's 5' 3" and 5' 8" wheeled 'Large Prairie' 31xx (e.g. 3120) and 51xx (e.g. 5164) classes! Not the same at all. Oooops!
Thank you for your kind comment which is much appreciated by the team here at Pendon. Also, thanks for spotting those errors. We will try even harder to make sure future presentations are as factually accurate as possible. We hope you will continue watching.
0.55 that's not a 45xx class that's a 51/61xx class.
and the one just before that is a 3100 class.
3120. Well done for spotting this. The 31xx class was the production run of the trial engines in the early 1900s. These went on to be developed into the larger prairies in the 51XX and 61XX classes illustrated by 5164. It was from these larger engines that the smaller prairies of the 44XX and 45XX classes were developed. Our apologies for not making this clear in the commentary.
