Tilley BR49

Nice colour mate looks fine mate.

 

Great stuff

 

Thanks mate, I have a few of these and this is one of two that still has it’s original paint and a lot better looking lamp compared to the BR49a in the standard gold finish

 

A nice looking example.

 

Hi mate, how about a photo of all your BR49's please.

 

That yellow tank is typical of the 3 Southern Rail BR lantern types from 1960/1961. As far as I know the Southern BR49 was normally fitted with the X359 type black hood. Mind you the brown hood was current and was used on the Southern X246 BR so it is always possible some were issued with the more standard brown type. ::Neil::

 

oh hell

 

A fine example.

 

I just took a few pictures of some finished and some work in progress

 

Wow very impressive.

 

A very nice collection with a nice back ground.

 

That’s in my new shop! Now open to the public

 

So are you that man on ebay?

 

I do have an eBay account and a retail shop and a warehouse plus a workshop for all my servicing and repairs
