Andy Y Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 L&YR 2-4-2 Tank Locomotionmodels.com are pleased and proud to announce their latest variation of the L&YR 2-4-2 Tank locomotive which is available for immediate delivery. Number 1008 was the first locomotive produced by the Lancashire & Yorkshire railway at their new state of the art works in Horwich, Bolton in 1889. The class with many variations numbered 330 and was the most numerous of any type produced by the L&YR. The locomotive (1008) now preserved in the NRM carries the early passenger livery but later had the full lettering of Lancashire & Yorkshire in an arc on the tank side above the brass number plate. The class was used on all types of passenger services from branch lines to the ‘40 minute’ express trains between Liverpool and Manchester. You will notice that the model has two whistles with the smaller of the two being connected to the communication cord via the lever near the cab roof. The cord that ran along the outside of the coaches near the roof connected with the lever and of course the whistle. With thanks to Ken Carter, Trustee. The Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Society These exquisite models have been especially produced for Locomotionmodels.com by Bachmann Europe plc. and are certainly bound to be in great demand.

RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted November 18, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 18, 2015 Lovely but crying out for an etched numberplate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 This is a surprise. Wow, anyone buying everything Locomotion must be having must be in seventh heaven and broke! Quite a range developing here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Lovely but crying out for an etched numberplate. I do agree in this case having photographed the model. 247 Developments list them at £4.00 a pair for 1008. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyKarl Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 As someone who missed out on a pre-grouping version 2-4-2T last time, I've ordered mine at once this time around. I do like this livery style - even more than the previous one that Bachmann brought out with L&Y livery. Well done Locomotion Models! JK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Now there's a dilemma. I've been pondering buying the Crimson liveried version and now they've released this. I've already got a LNWR 4'6" 2-4-2T. All three fit perfectly into an idea that I've had for some time. But do I really need three 2-4-2 tanks? I'll probably give in before the weekend.

locoholic Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Mine arrived today. Lovely model - I'd forgotten how heavy Bachmann managed to make it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Emily Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Picked one of these up today as I was passing Locomotion. Looks very nice indeed, and will eventually end up in a display cabinet next to the previous release of 1008. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ianmaccormac Posted November 24, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 24, 2015 Hi Can anyone explain what the thing is on the front right of the cab please. Mine has arrived with it sticking upright, the photo on here has it pointing forwards. What is it and what is the correct direction for it please? Thanks Ian in Blackpool, a LB&SCR modeller usually but liked the look of this one! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 The thing below the roof line in the corner? It's the lever for the communication cord. I believe it should be up when in use and stowed down when not. I assume it's movable. From the information in post 1. "You will notice that the model has two whistles with the smaller of the two being connected to the communication cord via the lever near the cab roof. The cord that ran along the outside of the coaches near the roof connected with the lever and of course the whistle." Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ianmaccormac Posted November 26, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 26, 2015 Thanks Jason! And I had read post 1 as well! Makes me feel like I am getting old when I missed that! Cheers Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Emily Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Got around to opening up the box and reviewing this model, along with a side by side comparison of the previous L&Y release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
