7802 ‘Bradley Manor’ hauling Cambrian Express on Jeffrey Lane TMD on 20/08/2023

My all time favourite loco is 7802 Bradley Manor, not only as it is my namesake but with it being based on the Severn Valley Railway it meant that my grandad and I spent many happy hours riding behind this loco when I was on school holidays.
Therefore, when Key Model World advertised that a limited amount of 150 sound fitted Accurascale models were being released I just had to get one and it’s by far the most stunning locomotive I own on Jeffrey Lane.
Complete with ‘Cambrian Coast Express’ headboard, fitting for the era of my layout as it hauled these trains in the early 2000’s between Shrewsbury and Aberystwyth, and complete with immense detail and etched name and number plates, 7802 certainly looks the part!
To make it even sweeter, Gramps said he would pay for this as an early birthday present, thanks Gramps and thanks for all those happy memories which can now be recreated in miniature model world!

Looks mint! I highly recommend the Accurascale Manor loco crew that fits perfectly in the cab, probably the most realistic figures I've seen for OO!

Thanks mate, I did look but they were out of stock, I’ll have to check again 👍

Hi Brad, first time seeing one of those, I didn't realise they were out yet. What a stunning model, and I see why it has firmly become your favourite. All the best Dave.

[@bradjoyce5857]

Thanks Dave, yeah great to have it up and running and will be a firm favourite for a long time to come!

I have a sound-fitted Bradley Manor too. Wonderful model.

[@bradjoyce5857]

Good choice pal!

[@Mapplewell_Park]

Looks really good. Although I model the same era as you. Who doesn’t love a steam loco. Great sound and looked great with that rake of carriages behind 👍

[@bradjoyce5857]

Thanks mate!

I'm a Great Western Girl. Show me a GWR Manor hard at work, and I'll show you how much I truly love her. I'm a fan of God's Wonderful Railway.

[@bradjoyce5857]

Glad you like it Kelly!

[@andrewsmith6563]

Hey. Can I please use some of your footage in my films? I will credit you for it.

[@bradjoyce5857]

Of course pal!

[@andrewblake2254]

You can't have a flickering firebox and no crew!!! Nice loco though.

[@bradjoyce5857]

That’s a very good point! I’ll make sure I get some 👍

Much slipping with 9 coaches! Sound and synchronisation and slow movement good, but not truly capable of hauling 50 wagons?

[@bradjoyce5857]

It hauled 9 no problem on the flat, wheel slip on the gradient coming out of the tunnel though. Sound and sync with movement spot on and slow movement is fantastic, really do recommend!
