The Locomotive
Hunslet Engine 3796 was completed in 1953 to the wartime Austerity design. Deemed surplus almost immediately, the locomotive was placed in store at Longmoor and then at Bicester. The locomotive entered traffic in 1955 and spent time working at Honeybourne, Bicester and Longmoor variously until it was called upon for its first filming role.
In 1965, the Longmoor military railway was chosen as the set for the filming of the “Great St Trinians train robbery”, and 3796 was painted black and numbered as 68011 to represent a BR J94. After filming, the number 196 was reinstated as was the typical Longmoor Military railway lined blue livery (although 68011 was still visible, painted on the smokebox door!) The second starring role for 196 happened in 167 when once again the Longmoor railway was used as a set. This time for the movie “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”, 196 appeared in blue this time but had GWR lettering on the tank to cover the LMR, it also had its dome cover painted brass and a farcically tall chimney extension.
In January of 1968, 196 was chosen to carry the name of Major General Errol Lonsdale who was the then chief of Army transport. 196 became the last locomotive to be named at Longmoor and was given the full white wheel treatment ahead of gaining its nameplates.
When Longmoor closed in 1970 the 196 was purchased by the Kent and East Sussex railway before moving to the Mid Hants railway in 1976 and was rededicated with its Errol Lonsdale nameplates in 1978. Latterly it spent time running in BR black at the South Devon railway, numbered as its film star role, 68011. By 2009 the locomotive was again out of traffic and was sold to the Stoomcentrum in Maldegem, Belgium where it has been restored to full working condition and painted in its original WD Green livery.

The Coaches
Our two LMR Mk.1 models represent Brake Second ARMY 5301 (ex-M43231) and Second ARMY 3302 (Ex-M46070) in 1968, when both were wearing the LMR Oxford Blue livery. ARMY 5301 was built at Doncaster under Lot 30093 in 1954, originally being numbered as M53231 until a conflict with DMU numbering led to British Railways renumbering the 53xxx vehicles into the 43xxx range to avoid confusion. Taken out of service in October 1964, the vehicle was transferred to the LMR on 22 February 1965, being numbered as AD 03031 in 1966, before renumbering as AD 3031 in 1967 and ARMY 5301 in 1968. Initially painted Olive Drab in 1966, it was repainted into LMR Oxford Blue in 1967. At closure of the LMR, the coach was preserved first at the East Somerset Railway, and then at the Keighley & Worth Valley, before finally being scrapped in June 1982.
Second ARMY 3302 (ex-M46070) was built at Derby under Lot 30051 in 1954 and was also taken out of service in October 1964, the vehicle transferring to the LMR in early 1968 and being numbered ARMY 3302 from the start. Repainted into LMR Oxford Blue at the same time, the vehicle was sold to the East Somerset Railway upon closure of the LMR, but was scrapped in February 1971 at Liss.

Handsome watch!
Color: Retro Brown band & Black bezel & Blue dial
My 13 year old grandson wanted an “old fashioned” watch so I gave this one to him. He is obsessed with it and wears it every day.

Don't Waste Your Money
Color: Retro Brown band & Gold bezel & White dial
This watch is a complete disappointment. Right out from the box, I adjusted the time per the instruction manual. After finshing adjusting the watch, I pushed the crown in (two clicks). The second hand started movement after almost 10 seconds. From then on, the second hand was stopping and going by itself. Within less than anhour, the watch was behind almost 25 seconds. It is a piece of junk. I would not advise anyone to buy this watch.

Rough dial, pretty watch
Color: Mesh Strap watch balck
Great looking watch, the dial is rough on the skin, it should be refined some to not have sharp edges.

Great Watch for a Great Price
Color: Dark Brown band & Rose Gold bezel & Navy Blue dial
⌚ “Simple, clean, and gets compliments every time.” ⌚ This Watch has easily become my go-to watch. What I like most is how clean the design is. It’s not flashy, but it stands out in a classy way. I usually pair it with brown shoes and a belt, and it pulls the whole look together perfectly. Another big plus—it doesn’t feel heavy on the wrist. You can wear it all day and forget it’s even there, which is exactly what you want in a daily watch. And the compliments? They come consistently. It’s one of those pieces people notice without you trying too hard. ✔️ Clean, stylish design ✔️ Lightweight and comfortable ✔️ Pairs perfectly with dress or casual outfits ✔️ Gets a lot of compliments If you’re looking for an affordable watch that looks sharp and feels great, this is a solid choice.

Unusable Adjustment Diagram – Completely Black
Color: Mesh Strap watch silver balck
The watch itself looks nice, but there is an issue with the instructions for adjusting the band. The included diagram is completely black and does not show how to make the adjustment. I was only able to adjust the band because I had a diagram from a previous watch. Without that, it would have been very difficult. The manufacturer should provide clear and readable instructions.
