Caledonian Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Next question. The intention is to run Maude in North British days. I know that I need to source a Westinghouse pump, but what about the livery? She went to war in plain black, but when she came back was the lining out restored before the North British became part of the LNE? ie; is the combination of lining and name [before preservation] correct, or do I need to wipe the name?

Logging on to Hattons Pre-owned the other night, what should I espy but Maude, converted to analog and a bargain price. Arrived an hour ago, looks great and runs nicely, but... The polarity has been reversed, ie; sitting in front of my layout , I switch my trusty Gaugemaster to the right and the loco under control moves to the right, switch it to the left and the loco runs to the left. Simple, except Maude does the opposite. Its not a real problem, I just need to rember its Maude when I'm running it, but is there a quick and easy fix for for the electrically illiterate that doesn't require soldering or anything clever like that? Has it actually had the decoder removed and replaced with a blanking plug or did the previous owner just enable DC running on the decoder and managed to reverse the direction in the process?

To answer my own question: all North British locos were in bronze green with very heavy multi-coloured lining until 1914. Then came a black livery for goods locos with a double yellow lining [per Hornby's "Maude"] but due to austerity the lining was discontinued in 1919, so no, the combination of name and lining is preservation only, A cocktail stick seems called for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ngram Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Peter's Spares have the Markits Westinghouse pumps. But where can I find a drawing showing where the pipes in and out of the pump went to/came from? I've just acquired an H0 Robinson ROD loco sans Westinghouse and would like to know where to fit all the piping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wainwright1 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Hi All. Anybody know when the J36 ROD liveried version R3735 and early BR R3734 are coming out. The Hornby website under the coming soon section lists them in December 2021, but when you look at the details on there it says Winter 20/21, which is just about up by my reckoning. There are quite a few other locos also in the December section showing Winter 20/21. I think that these were announced last year, or was it the year before. They look like becoming another blue Merchant Navy. All the best Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, although I' far from convinced about the khaki paint job I have a suspicion that if it was lined out it might pass for the pre-1914 livery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

64F Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Three years after the first batch came out and still there has been no LNER livery except the very early and shortlived "L&NER" lined black, and no BR late crest. I'd been hoping we might see some more mainstream liveries for the J36 in the 2022 announcement, but if the 2019 announcement's aren't expected until 2023 then the prospects don't look great. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the J36 will become the next 'Clan' - wont appear again for 10 years and will then be 'new' in the 2031 catalogue in LNER apple green (to include footplate and cab roof 'because there is no definitive evidence to proof they should be black ;)) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I agree with that. With 98k cases, China rates as 113th place in the world, according to worldometer. peanuts to our 4th place ranking with nearly 10mn. We have more cases every 2 days than China has in the whole pandemic. The thing theyve been hit with is big orders for medical products, supply chain disruption, but the pandemic has been very lucrative for them and theyve shifted production and resources to meet it. anyways theres a whole other thread about that.

G-BOAF Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) In place of whinging about Hornby, praise for them. I returned a J36 TTS Chip (which refused to work/respond at all after re-addressing, or after doing a factory reset). I expected a reblow/firmware update. But they sent me a brand new retail boxed chip (RRP£50). I should note that technically the model was out of warranty, although I had only been using the chip itself for a few months since purchasing a DCC controller.. So well done and thank you Hornby (both for acknowledging the fundamental fault with the chip, replacing technically outside warranty, and giving me a full-retail replacement). Now why can't you always be as responsive and engaged....! Hornby at its best in customer service (aside from the error with the original chip!)

JonathonAG Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) While we wait on the latest two catalogue releases of the J36, I wonder if we might ever see this niche livery covered in RTR form? One of the LNER versions transformed into Apple Green as No. 5330 by myself, a livery only worn by it and No. 5211 but did see both LNER and British Railways insignia while wearing this paint.

Never knew they got green . I know the Hornby proposed model of 1980 was green (it got cancelled for the APT instead) but thought that was just Hornby painting one up . There is also a run of the mill black LNER one to be done as opposed to the L&NER we had in the first batch . I ended up buying Maude and BR one . Superb little engines . I had hoped it would encourage Hornby to make more Scottish locos , but the J36 appeared during Simon Kohlers "sabbatical" and hes now back ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
