Chose a year (1925)...

And now I have ordered a SR Terrier!! ...Terrier has a four digit number.

Hi Jan

If your layout is set in 1925 then the four digit Terrier number is incorrect. There would be a small 'B' above the number and the number itself would be three digits - 659 in your case, if you have the Dapol Terrier I'm thinking of.

An alternative option would be to carry out a little bit of easy hacking to turn it into the LSWR's sole surviving secondhand Terrier, E735, which was mostly in storage until withdrawal in 1930 but which you could say is out for a bit of emergency cover due to a loco shortage.

Thank you for pointing that out but since the terrier does not fit in the setting of the layout - GWR branch line - I don't mind that it does not fit the period.
I see it as a 'fun train' as described by David Jenkinson in his book 'Historic Railway modelling'.
No way to justify running it on the layout but I like it.

Earlier in this thread Karhedron posted a link to the Southern e group and it seems that one coach trains were possible, even if photos usually show two coach trains.
I've decided to buy a balloon coach from Etched Pixels when they are back in business again.

Thanks for the information everyone!
