Floreat Industria Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hattons now have photographs of the decorated J72s in their news section. I don't think I could live with the coupling rods of the LNER version. The NER green looks lovely, if fictional. I will be sorely tempted to buy one, although knowing that only one side was lined on the grey undercoat for the official photograph will spoil it somewhat. The old model of LNER green 581 was, I believe, in the same category. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I don't think I could live with the coupling rods of the LNER version. With a bit of luck, it should be possible to remove the paint. I’ve managed to remove the paint from some manufacturers’ models where, for some reason, the manufacturers seem to think that sparkly grey paint looks more like metal than metal does.

JaymzHatstand Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 The LNER version was station pilot at York, so it's quite likely that the red rods are prototypical, as such locos were kept looking pretty with them being I'm the public eye a lot! It should be easy enough to either tone down or remove though if required. Cheers J Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garethp8873 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Got to see these beauties yesterday whilst Bachmann's stand at Kidderminster Station during their Gala. Really impressed with them. Sorry but I focused more on the LNER and NER examples 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Your right the NER and LNER versions are very nice. As I already have a couple in OO and A couple in P4 I really don't need more.... oh alright I could find room for them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate I use that excuse for goods wagons and now my collection is now nearly 500+...!! Somehow I keep finding room for more of them...

DougN Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Gareth, I managed to slow that problem as I have a small layout. The problem was I liked Bachman private owners too much.so a couple of years ago I said I will collect all the Bachman collectors club wagons... which happened quicker than I expected... never having been a member was and still is the challenge to find them. (Here being one of the strange little rule to collect them) I now have the 22 until next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lu4472ke Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Is a way I can prototypically run one on a Great Eastern reigon layout? I know the LNER allocated some J50's to GER reigon, but where there any J72's? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin S-C Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) I had an e-mail from a large well-known retailer today saying my pre-order of the NER lined green one was cancelled as they were no longer available. The models are not showing on the retailers web page either. The Bachmann listing shows this: No NER green... Has anyone heard anything more about this?

Correct terminology, just wrong colour. The well known photo of 2173 is in 'photographic grey' (including frames) as it was the first of the latest (Raven) batch, by this time (1914) goods locos were lined black and no further E1s were green until BR days and of course 'Joem' in Preservation. I may have to take an LNER lined black one source some plates from Narrow Planet. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
