Not sure if this is the place for this thread please move if necessary, I have some old LMS coaches that I am trying to find the original GF part numbers for does anybody know if there is a list of GF (Poole) rolling stock with part numbers, I am in the process of setting up an insurance for my layout and they are asking for part numbers and photographs, this could take a while got the photo's but some of the carriages I bought third hand with no boxes so no part numbers

Please can somebody help me.
I want to know If Farish 1862 Locomotive old number is N gauge or 00, googling brings up old hatton adverts suggesting its 00 gauge.
There must be a web site with a list of old Farish catalogue numbers, the one given on this post previously doesnt work as it is no longer available on the web.
second, I guess that this Loco is a very old model, is it best avoided for technical merits as I want to use it not place it on show.
Kind regards from Fred.
Hi,
Farish 1862 should be A4 Sir Nigel Gresley in blue and N gauge.
Thanks for the reply , I just need to know if it's an old model best avoided or not!
Yes, it is old, though saying that some of my locos date from the 80s and run quite well but much noisier than new models.
If you look on the Bachman Farish web site there is a list of discontinued items.
Go to:
Home page
Past products.
I dont know if it covers Poole products but it may help you.

Hi, the Bachmann Farish site old records don't show Poole old part numbers. I am hoping that somebody will know a web site giving the list. Presumably the list from the old 'link' previously given must be there on another new link.
Thanks Fred
Tried looking in an old catalogue? Sure someone on here has one they can scan.
1862 is not a really old model - it's one of the late English production items - 1997 to 2000.
Cheers,
Alan

I wasn't the first to make these available (thank ness-street for that) but I have included the old Graham Farish catalogues on my site, which coincidentally only covers Poole Graham Farish (since that is my interest). I am in the process of cataloguing stock with pictures, although this has so far only extended to diesel locomotives (and is still a work in progress, which you can find here: http://thefarishshed.com/production-gallery-2/ (http://thefarishshed.com/production-gallery-2/) ) This project will, hopefully, extend to steam at some point.
I concur with you re 1862 being the A4Sir Nigel Gresley. On the catalogues page http://thefarishshed.com/catalogues/ (http://thefarishshed.com/catalogues/) scroll down to the bottom and click on the last catalogue icon. It can be found there.
I'm still searching for 1664 but can't seem to find it. Oh wait, that was a beer wasn't it! :P :pint:
Ramsey's British Model Trains Catalogue 8th Edition is a definitive listing of all UK model trains. It spreads to two volumes now. It includes photos of some stock, all part numbers, liveries, when they were produced, and the approx. value unboxed and used, or mint in box (for collectors). the values are sometimes higher than can be achieved on EBay, and sometimes lower, as the market is quite fickle at the moment.
The website you yearn for was maliciously hacked and has consequently been taken down by its author.

Sadly it has numerous errors, which invariably end up transposed all over the web.

Interesting Bob, thanks for that. Not having seen a Ramsey's before, where might one be able to acquire these volumes? I'm presuming Ramsey's themselves.

PS: It's interesting what you say about "market prices". It's similar in other collector's markets whereby a collator of information attempts to put a value on items. The issue as I see it is that prices are dynamic (they go up or/and down) depending upon supply/demand, yet once a reference manual is published, it is rather static in nature, and does not reflect the true value of an item in a dynamic environment. It's something you see a lot of in the numismatic field, with wildly different "catalogued" values to those in the real marketplace.
That said, I haven't seen Ramsey's so will just relate it to my experience in other fields. Any attempt to collate historic information is a good one and if we, as a community, can iron out the mistakes / misprints etc. then I'm sure we'll get there eventually with a difinitive guide. I know from my own research that there are differing versions of history out there when it comes to Farish production lists.

You want the two volume 8th edition. Dr Al is right - there are some errors and (fewer) omissions, but it's still a valuable reference.
