Steamport Southport Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I'm surprised they've done Sir Edward Elgar as a Limited Edition. I would have thought that would be one for the main range. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
owentherail Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I've already back dated my 50007 so won't have that, but RTC 31 sounds good ..... Along with 47701 and 625. Exactly how many Ltd Eds have kernow got going, must be a record amount (good on them) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought that would be one for the main range. Jason It’s been done before as a limited edition, but then it had red backed plates.This one will be popular as it’s how most people associate with it. I think the previous was 2000, this one is 350. Only need D400 as it was in the 1990’s to do, though having done it as new last year I think that versions a long way off. They could always do plain blue with headlight, I think 1 or 2 carried this livery post rebuild. Edited January 9, 2018 by adb968008 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it never had red plates before withdrawal. I think that the real plates are in the NRM or Steam and I think that Waterman has the other set. I still reckon this would sell more than 350 though. Another trick missed I feel. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted January 9, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Is there any information on where and when the prototypes ran?From memory plus some extra research, 97203 was repainted from a capital stock 31298 upon the withdrawal of 24061 (97201) from RTC, however after a couple of weeks / maybe months service it caught fire and burnt out in 1987, I remember seeing it on the scrap line at Crewe,it was then replaced by a second class 31326 as 97204. It ran as this condition from some time, until renumbered 31970 in 1989.If you’ve got modelzone RTC stock, this is the loco you want if your post 1987, the SLW 97201 (class 24 will cover from 1980-88,), along with class 46 ixion. It was common visitor to BR open days also. The ochre livery class 31, was before my time, but reading up, BR was experimenting alternative liveries to Green, to increase visibility to track crews. D5579 was painted Ochre and looked quite good. D5578 painted a sick plain blue, but was later with yellow ends, Triang modelled it like this with white lining, but I haven’t seen pictures of it like this.. https://hattonsimages.blob.core.windows.net/products/R357B-U_3300572_Qty1_1.jpg Edited January 9, 2018 by adb968008 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewartingram Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Is there any information on where and when the prototypes ran? The golden ochre Brush 2 was an East Anglia based loco whilst in this livery. Along with the plain electric blue one, they were experimental in trying to make them more visible. I doubt that it strayed far from the region in those days. There is a preserved one at the GCR that has however been painted in the same livery.

RMweb Premium Downer Posted January 10, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) I fancy one of these, but I think I’ll wait and see what colour golden ochre they come up with before committing myself. I've ordered the Golden Ochre 31 and I am excited to get my hands on it! It'll add a bit of colour to my collection so thanks Kernow for the commission!I fancy one of these, but I think I’ll wait and see what colour golden ochre they come up with before committing myself. The old Lima one looked all wrong to me. Edited January 10, 2018 by Downer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCB Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Am I alone in suspecting that the "Limited Editions" actually out sell the standard issue? I bet Kernow produce the Hawkesworth Pacific both with and without smoke deflectors and condensing tender before I get my model finished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewartingram Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 There is a colour photo of the Kernow prototype D5579 at Cambridge in August 1961. Scroll down to 2nd from last photo... http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/c/cambridge/index15.shtml Does anyone know of the approximate date it would have been repainted? Presumably into green/small yellow panel. If it lasted in ochre 'til approx. 1965, I could play a little fast and loose with history and justify one. It is a very fine looking model in an unusual livery. Edit: I've answered my own question, thanks Google. Link below shows it at Ipswich in July 1965, still in golden ochre, but with small yellow warning panel added. https://www.flickr.com/photos/115646323@N04/30475996240/ There are a couple of my photos on there!

LaGrange Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Only need D400 as it was in the 1990’s to do, though having done it as new last year I think that versions a long way off. They could always do plain blue with headlight, I think 1 or 2 carried this livery post rebuild. They might not do D400 as it never had the grabrails fitted above the taillights unlike the other 49, there was an article in a recent Rail Express Modeller showing how to do it 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
