Garethp8873 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Finally a new RTR entry for the Scottish region... certainly going to please a number of Scottish modellers Edited January 8, 2018 by Garethp8873 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Congratulations to all the Scottish lobby and followers on the group. I know from my own experience how exasperating it is hoping each year that they might take an interesting in your area. For years people have highlighted the lack of anything really indiginous to Scotland in steam done to a high standard. Now its here, so enjoy the moment and the model to come!

darrel Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Fabulous choice of prototype a class of loco with a long lifespan. Let's hope it is the first of many Scottish locos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckymucklebackit Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Still plenty of scope with liveries, I thought that a late crest loco would have been preferred to the early crest to expand the models timespan, the early crest loco "Haig" was an early casualty in 1963 with other members of the class surviving to 1967, but hey - I am not complaining, I placed my order with for "Haig" as soon as the Liverpool site updated, as an unlined black loco renumbering (If necessary) is very straightforward. Now about those Kipps variants......... Jim 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OOgaugeJaf Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Great Model. There were a couple made it to the North East so I will be having one to renumber. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckymucklebackit Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Its donald and douglas sir!! Wouldn't be surprised if Hornby attempt to package a lower spec pair in this guise, although strictly speaking Donald and Douglas are based on the Caledonian 812 Class!

RMweb Premium Legend Posted January 8, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2018 Its donald and douglas sir!! Err no . These were Caley 812s . Would have been good, but quite happy with J36s for the time being Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bon Accord Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Astonished and delighted that Hornby have announced a J36. I had always thought it would be the ideal model to release in 2018, the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, but never imagined that it would happen. I'm just working out how many I need! Do I order enough to cover all possible requirements or do I settle for what is currently planned and wait in the hope of more appropriate liveries being produced in the future, particularly LNER late 1930s and BR late crest. One thought does occur. The GE is represented by Hornby's RTR J15, the GC by Bachmann's J11 and now the NB by Hornby's J36. Isn't it ironic that the largest pre-grouping LNER constituent, the NER, and the most influential constituent as far as motive power development, the GNR, are not currently represented by any RTR 0-6-0s? I've got 4 on pre order already - my ancient GEM and Jamieson pair can now retire with dignity! As for the NER, don't go giving Hornby ideas until they've at least produced a J37.......

The Black Hat Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Now that Im looking at this and some of the EP samples Im actually becoming gutted. Nice that you have a J36, but its so close to that gorgeous J21! Hornby your so close! Have that on your list for 2019! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ColinK Posted January 8, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2018 There was very little of interest to me personally on the Hornby list as I model blue diesels. However, I’m pleased to see Maude and will get one. I was a passenger on its famous trip from Fort William to Arisaig in 1984. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DugaldDalgetty Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I've had a July date as well, (but never got an August one). I was very pleasantly surprised to see how far advanced the EP's are (Post 7) and look forward even more to what is available for viewing at Model Rail Scotland.

MGR Hooper! Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Something Scottish finally. From the images Hatton's posted online, it looks quite good. Also looks like the handrails knobs are now at the correct angle and not horizontal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium gc4946 Posted January 8, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2018 I've pre-ordered my LNER example, although I realise it represents a loco in very early LNER days with original NBR number, "L & NER" lettering and red lining. For now, I'll overlook the fact that this livery combination might not have existed by the time the D49s first entered service in 1927 (I own Hornby's "Cheshire") Nevertheless I'm hoping that a D34 "Glen" using the tender (and other parts) becomes available a few years down the road.

benachie Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Seems strange that they chose "Haig" which wasn't named until 1955, almost at the end of early crest livery. Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted January 8, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2018 Err no . These were Caley 812s . Would have been good, but quite happy with J36s for the time being Well, yes. Is some Edinburgher cocking a snook at the Caley enthusiasts who have been busily wishlisting an 812 for some time? This is of course Reid's rebuild of Holmes' Class C, from 1913 onwards. Along with the Bachmann new E1/J72, this is another RTR pre-Grouping engine that is frustratingly post-Edwardian!
