jonas Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Hi, I'm shortly going to receive a Bachmann 47035. Now this is the one with the pseudo-domino headcode box (basically played over but painted black) with no high intensity headlight. Any of you experts able to offer some advice as to what my options for this model - I want a nice non-descript banger blue duff suitable for the early 80s - is there a simple renumber I can carry out to make this model more accurate? Bonus points if likely to be seen around the WR / marches. I don't really want to go to the hassle of replacing the headcode boxes for a 'proper' domino if I can help it... Huge thanks to anyone that can advise! Ps I'm well aware of the other bits that need sorting, namely the 57 style undergubbins and bogies! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge thanks to anyone that can advise! Ps I'm well aware of the other bits that need sorting, namely the 57 style undergubbins and bogies! quite a few of the Scottish depots have previous for painting headcode panels black but that was perhaps on later liveries than BR Blue. In photos its not always obvious whether its the domino behind glass or headcode painted black. e.g. https://www.flickr.com/photos/tcs-pics/5711309448/in/photolist-9GFXjy-aqZ6Zf-r2J3mP-dQmuhT-pRSBsW-6ZY1UW-qaQzmB-8ny7tz-fKUQzV-gJDw6S-iGXJ5Z-q5768X-8SNFgp-b3Uvke-q9JvVF-Svvmsx-rBiA9D-9r16ET-HsGn4R-orFqLw-ioaTTQ-dcaqZs-9WHAVU-7CFSXL-qNweqB-oZoyJc-avQrY3-riGEFT-aoYUD3-qnjNin-avMMiH-pCNzWs-pmposT-dZA5gA-8U2A9o-aTDRcp-oXXmeR-oLZ9k8-dhuKLL-e74J4Q-nRHtCP-bpEvAy-j7Mnpr-abf6gf-gYG2Dv-8rPzWh-fU5RV2-qM6Zrx-pBZqg6-kPfFtm The plated ones look to have a slightly more off-white dots compared to the dominos but pre headlight 47 is probably 1984 or earlier so it'll probably take a bit of hunting through pictures 47101 at Cardiff looks possible https://www.flickr.com/photos/86020500@N06/8002770865/in/photolist-dcbhY2-aCgBfp-q2DLS8-fUSada-b2CvHx-bygVwc-bA34tB-aMUtRK-pmsB7f-hex8A9-dNiWx9-9n5WTq-9YuzaQ-cbZwz3-7HuMD8-rmQ92w-8VKWZq-9M2DUT-gWznDX-ba5nGV-qdA7Km-9tMK6F-nxa97r-qPb9bx-qThz61-bv5jD1-ckxA2w-RSuRoo-r6AUgv-o4By1H-p7atpi-8SFQCd-8TdtGv-5Vsx7R-bePPPX-g9k4Ux-dm5Y7H-9q4Vtv-an2Kwh-aqWs58-pLm31T-eXUakJ-pASpUG-aBYs2V-qeD86m-dcaHEc-oEtVQp-9ELT7D-f1jbY2-qdjsZn 47559? https://www.flickr.com/photos/hoover29/16472311315/in/photolist-r6AUgv-o4By1H-p7atpi-8SFQCd-8TdtGv-5Vsx7R-bePPPX-g9k4Ux-dm5Y7H-9q4Vtv-an2Kwh-aqWs58-pLm31T-eXUakJ-pASpUG-aBYs2V-qeD86m-dcaHEc-oEtVQp-9ELT7D-f1jbY2-qdjsZn-jNWfEs-dekAQq-aqc1RP-ozHbL5-bUHmLm-eSKdqb-fDA53C-cwGvv7-dekxeW-dEUnVm-bxRBjD-aS2BbH-bzBKeC-nmQ8mk-ai6k32-cNw7TE-fijXmi-cQZav5-q466Yy-S6Nczb-cyCisY-ro8qc8-cnaDNf-dWHete-ou9Ud6-qAcCRX-qcRAYh-7E1cFV 47225? https://www.flickr.com/photos/blue-diesels/14638297991/in/photolist-RNAX2j-SeP1sw-RQKLZU-7rXyAB-dRdtTK-S2XYEZ-nZWsqg-bnGCcB-Sc9Kue-oix718-o2NKav-aTDRcp-jjPwy3-uT9mVB-pGSvGM-hZjNVx-nedYpQ-8R3Dhb-j9gBXV-omKkFm-S6NbKq-ngjpoz-qEgpxF-qUrzBp-iYRYei-e5qfvL-aTruGi-9SJ3so-ravpyd-hqtfFn-e5tBG3-b9rmpg-agHky7-ob32b7-j7Mnpr-9QVMxx-jPbtFv-fQ1rp9-wXE5NT-bqdMBD-p1zLqG-4CtGeM-nCK1tt-d2tXmb-nFMryM-ncLmB7-d2tR1u-7VcDF4-gHuWgE-e64VrF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 37058 Posted April 5, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 5, 2017 Hi Steve. Be careful which prototype you choose to model, as 035 has the original round Spanner boiler port. Some a little later on were plated over. I'm currently renumbering a 2mm 035 model for a customer to 47304. Spot on for early 80s, black box and no headlight, but I have filled the boiler port and it will be plated over. None of the 47/3s had boilers fitted from new, but the roof design must of remained the same as they still look to be plated over. 47101 & 559 Round boiler port (Spanner Mk.III) so easy fill. 229 had the square plated over boiler port (Clayton Mk.II) Now, if this was for a 2mm model, I have some lovely etches for the plated over boiler ports Cheers, Anthony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonas Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Thanks guys. Chard - that picture has he high intensity headlight....which Bachmann haven't modellled! Anthony, goodnpoint about the boiler port. I won't get get the model for another week or so to really examine it, hence trying to collate some info first! I had guessed this wouldn't be quite as simple as I'd hoped Oh...and this time it's the the 4mm version I'm doing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted April 6, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 6, 2017 And Extreme Etchings do a 4mm etch to plate over the boiler port.....as used on 1830 for Abbotswood, RH loco below.... Cheers Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
