Roy L S Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 At last an industrial loco in N. Who could possibly resist one of these Dave! Already thinking of a Midlands ironstone branch or one of those lightly laid sugar beet lines in Norfolk! Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyewipe Jct Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Crikey O'Reilly - you're really pulling out all the stops today, Dave!Just one thing, though - is the N version too small to warrant a lovely photo like the OO one... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted July 23, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2014 Great news, and what a sensible choice of prototype! Something else to add to my small, but growing, UK shopping list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold queensquare Posted July 23, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2014 Great choice Dave, perfect for the North Somerset Light. Usual questions from me - what sort of gear ratio are we looking at, will it be split axle etc. In other words, will it be amenable to convert to 2FS without too much trouble. The Q6 is the wrong end of the country for me although I have almost finished building one for Fencehouses. That said, I think its a wise choice and hopefully will be a good seller for you. cheers Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the very best Les PS- had you spotted that the real station had one nameboard calling it FENCEHOUSES (one word) and the other saying FENCE HOUSES (two words)......

2mm Andy Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Only ONE Q6 for Fence Houses, Gerry? A layout that size needs at least half-a dozen........ Bob does have a few already that are built from his own kits (but with a layout the size of FH, you can never have too many!). Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium maq1988 Posted July 23, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2014 Great stuff, nice to see a small industrial locomotive in N and hopefully more industrials on their way in the coming years. Will also be interested to see how you can fit a 6-pin DCC socket into such a tiny space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the very best Les PS- had you spotted that the real station had one nameboard calling it FENCEHOUSES (one word) and the other saying FENCE HOUSES (two words)...... I've only built the one but, as Andy says, Bob has several. The Kit is superb (he also does the Q5) although not suitable for N or the beginner.

wollastonblue Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Now I need to add an engine shed on my layout, if I can fit one. This is ideal as my brewery shunter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium maq1988 Posted July 28, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 28, 2014 Dave, apart from NHC-002 will these come without pre-defined loco numbers and names? (Allowing the modeller to add numbers / nameplates if they wish). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hi mate, Not initially, although I will think on it for them. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 2mmMark Posted July 29, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 29, 2014 Very nice - looking forward to this one and the J94. I've got the same intentions as Jerry, to convert to 2mm finescale. If the wheels are to NMRA standards, it might not be too much of job to convert. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les1952 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Having ordered one of these for Hawthorn Dene, I've managed to find one (just one!) in the Durham coalfield. Hudswell Clarke No. 1513 of 1924 , which had been WD70069 was sold to the NCB via repairs at Hudswell Clarke. It arrived in January 1948 at Whitburn, and passed on to Boldon Colliery fairly quickly. It was plated to run over BR metals between Boldon and South Shields. It lasted to December 1959, being scrapped on site at Boldon. Identity was "Boldon No.1513" though whether that was actually painted on I don't know. In "my" reality it evaded the scrapman and was transferred again to Hawthorn Dene Washery in the Easington area, lasting a couple more years.
