RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted March 14, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2018 Well I think I will have to be getting back to Oak Hill soon anyway! I'm not sure there is a lot more I can do to Brighthelmstone!!! Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted March 14, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2018 I need to get on with a couple of kits at some point!, and finish the scenic work near the pub! so there is still plenty to be getting on with for Oak Hill! Not to mention the L Class!! Gary 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sem34090 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Don't blame me! You said you were going to make it out of Brass! It is still on the list somewhere... behind smaller LBSCR tank engines, small tender engines, some Craven Stock, Stockton & Darlington No.1 and Terriers! I will try and have it done before 11/11/18 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted March 14, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2018 I did say that didn't I!!! I still quite fancy the challenge, after all "Oak Hill" came out alright as my brass test loco!! I just need to buy some more brass first!

Ruffnut Thorston Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Just spotted this on the Hornby Forum... https://www.Hornby.com/uk-en/forum/lbscr-a1-a1x-terriers/?p=1 More Terier news...... It is Rails....in parnership with Dapol! https://railsofsheffield.com/exclusive Edited March 24, 2018 by Sarahagain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted March 24, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2018 I have seen! I am also really hoping that Hornby decide to do the same trick they did with the 14xx when they re-released their model at £35. I am happy to buy a lot of them and detail them myself!! Failing that I had best prepare the bank to replace all my Terriers!!!! Gary 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I think I will try and justify one 'Boxhill' then wait for further IEG releases in order to prevent breaking the bank completely! If Hornby reduce their model to the 14xx price-point (without wrecking the chassis this time!) then I will continue with my 3D Printing terrier project. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hornby reduce their model to the 14xx price-point (without wrecking the chassis this time!) then I will continue with my 3D Printing terrier project. There is talk elsewhere of Dapol (or someone else) doing a new tool for the A1/A1X, and one of the mainstream magazines is currently profiling the Terrier. Coincidence? My suggestion is that, even were a new tooled version in the offing, it would be worth producing an accurate 3D printed body to fit the existing Hornby/Dapol chassis. Customising and upgrading is a slightly different market from straight RTR, and even if someone is thinking of a new Terrier (and there is absolutely no certainty that one is being considered), it will be 2-3 years away if we're lucky. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sem34090 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I will probably do some CAD anyway for my own purposes! I have 4 0-6-0 terrier chassis and 1 2-4-0 one, of which 4 need slightly differing A1 bodies, the other an A1x body. Possibly, though I may just give that an A1 shell instead. The new terrier, being made by Dapol for Rails of Sheffield is due to be released at the end of 2018 (Q4), James. They may need to look at your notes! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwardian Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Or, they could just buy the book in the first place, as part of their initial “research”. Indeed! These RCTS volumes are not that difficult or expensive to find second-hand (though in my case the Bradley Brighton volumes were very definitely the property of a pipe smoker at one stage!). Sem is referring to a sort of aide memoir I produced, summarising the information that concerned the appearance of the class in the period 1872-1914, and adding more photographs to illustrate matters, but all this is culled from published material. Dapol obviously researched the subject for their 7mm model, but the Boxhill artworks makes me wonder whether that has led to a degree of complacency and that they ought to refresh their memories! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
