Bon Accord Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Advised by email that my late crest will be delivered by DPD tomorrow Wed19th. Pressy from the missus so I won't be able to open it for a week! Dave. Which retailer is that from Dave? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black 5 Bear Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Advised by email that my late crest will be delivered by DPD tomorrow Wed19th. Pressy from the missus so I won't be able to open it for a week! Dave. As far as I'm aware, Hornby are only producing the early crest variant Haig as a first release. The late crest is a probable scheduled item for next year, fingers crossed. Edited December 20, 2018 by Black 5 Bear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted December 20, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 20, 2018 Haig was in the display cabinet at Monk Bar Models in York today and looking very appealing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitalspark Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 As far as I'm aware, Hornby are only producing the early crest variant Haig as a first release. The late crest is a probable scheduled item for next year, fingers crossed. It arrived tonight when I was out..and its now wrapped up and the German Shepherd instructed to guard it until the 25th! The invoicing suggests a late crest and thats certainly what I ordered however its no big deal as the period modelled is ok with both and the first thing that will be done when its eventually opened is to weather add detail and renumber..and lose the Haig name!

vitalspark Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 One of the resident Alloa J36s suitably detailed and weathered. The Hornby model will look a lot like this shortly. Dave. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 60027Merlin Posted December 20, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 20, 2018 Dave, Whilst the J36 will look good it eases into second place behind the German Shepherd which is a real beauty! Eric 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Neat little hinged fallplate by the looks of it. That's a worthwhile detail for anyone who alters the loco to tender spacing to scale. Tidy looking model altogether. Now where can I get lettering in the right style to name one fictionally deployed to the KX area 'Balvenie' or 'Glenlivet'? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black 5 Bear Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Can anyone please advise whether the hole above the handrail (RHS) is for some form of separately added detail ??? Lovely looking loco though, well done Hornby ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckymucklebackit Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Can anyone please advise whether the hole above the handrail (RHS) is for some form of separately added detail ??? Lovely looking loco though, well done Hornby ! Looking at prototype photographs of J36, there should not be anything above the handrail on that side of the boiler, I did find this photo of Haig at Grangemouth, showing that in later years anyway it ran with an enclosed cab tender, https://railway-photography.smugmug.com/keyword/65311/ Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Looks like a loose handrail knob to me. Funny that it has occurred on both the Rails and Derails models. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckymucklebackit Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 It's on it's way - email just received from Hatttons, order processed: 1 off* Hornby R3622 Class J36 0-6-0 65311 "Haig" in BR black with early emblem Hopefully will arrive Tomorrow or Saturday Woo Hoo!!!!!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenway Park Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Dropped into Derails today to be greeted by Little Dan saying that was quick!! We only just sent the E mail. Saw my J36 being tested and happily paid for what is a great looking loco. Work on the garage starts in January, so a small shunting layout based on the South Queensferry branch will get me back into building layouts etc. The Lightmoor Press book on Lost Lines of West Lothian plus the Iron Rails and Whisky Trails give lots of ideas. The branch had Royal Navy traffic as well as vans for the whisky bottling plant. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Accord Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Mine is also on the way. Looking at the above photographs the model shown has two upper lamp irons, one mounted on the smokebox door and one atop the smokebox itself. Looking at various photographs it would appear that both locations are prototypical for the BR era, but presumably not at the same time. The unknown hole on the right hand side of the smokebox is where the exhaust steam pipe for the Westinghouse pump would run, so it would appear Hornby are using a generic smokebox moulding for both early LNER and BR versions. Small quibbles of no great consequence - I am seriously looking forward to delivery of the first well detailed Scottish RTR loco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vitalspark Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Pre Hornby J36 on Alloa. If I can make my shiny new Hornby loco resemble this kit I'll be happy. Dave. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted December 20, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 20, 2018 Purchased mine from Monk Bar Models in the afternoon, and what a beautiful model it is. It runs just as sweetly as the lovely J15, and looks so 'right'. It is definitely worth every penny. Best regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
