rob D2 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Good skills. They do listen and this will do them well. £144 doesn’t seem a bad RRP either 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zunnan Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Depends greatly on whether the Heljan rumour transpires to be a big Sulzer. Even then there is room for a /1, which really would get my wallet open. Mind you, the sealed beam /0 is good to finally see resurface, but I know which way I'd turn if my arm was twisted. £144 wasn't far off what I nearly paid for bits to buy a MZ body and build a runner, so that plan is now on indefinite hiatus.

We'll be stocking 45040 Kings Shropshire Light Infantry in Blue, and I'm expecting it to be a big seller! Best get my order in.......... They'd have said no - many retailers, myself included, have been asking for at least 8 years 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my spotting days I think D107 was split one end and center panel the other. Now one like that would be nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not possible with current tooling, even if they used slides for the noses. 44009/10 carried Farr grilles which look very different from the standard type. Brian at Shawplan deds etches of these grilles, and I'm using a set of these to produce my own model of SNOWDON using a nose sawn from a spare 45 body. All 46s and quite a number of 45s carried the trapezoid shaped grille on the lower body side. 45022 and 45041 were two of the latter, so they seem to have made an error choosing those particular machines. 45/1 would also need new tooling. As well as the boiler roof section noted above, the body section where the water filler footsteps had been was re-sheeted instead of the steps being plated over. There are some other errors for a late 45/0, notably the wrong type of nose doors as already discussed, the oiling points on the lower body side which should be covered over, missing body lifting points and (for 45s only) a hinged access panel on one body side. Still, I've already ordered some. Kevin Edited May 30, 2019 by apollo 079 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classsix T Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Ooh! Given the last post previous page, we can do away with polls/demands/wishlists and just ply bribes at 'CHARD to randomly proffer aesthetic fondness! I'm deffo in for 041 RTR, just so happens to be the local offering to boot, handy. Just wondering how "exclusive" these are, are they likely to be a definite miss it miss out lest you fancy carpet bagger prices? C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILLIAM Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Brilliant news. Hope they supply them without nameplates fitted as in their latter years, when I saw them, many had lost one or both of their plates (does anybody have a reliable source of info when the plates were removed from each loco?). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted May 30, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) I reckon 45022 is the big winner, last loco on the Waverley route big history on Transpennine workings https://www.derbysulzers.com/45022.html though it should be noted 45022 had grills that weren't plated over.
