RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted June 4, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 4, 2018 Kernow Kernowlations and Kernowlicity have released the following statement: We in Kernow Towers are highly delighted with the announcement by Model Rail of a 16XX pannier tank. We like pannier tanks very much here. We think that 16XXs are cute. You can keep yer E1, but we would like to express an interest in more than one example of the 16XXs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JohnR Posted June 4, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 4, 2018 Is there scope for producing one with a radial axle as an E1/R ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BMacdermott Posted June 4, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 4, 2018 Hello everyone Firstly, congratulations to Model Rail (and Rapido) on these announcements. In the results of The Wishlist Poll 2016 (the most recent results), the 16xx was High Polling and came in around overall position 54th - just outside The Top 50. The loco has been High Polling since 2012 - apart from 2013, when slipped slightly into the Middle. The LBSCR E1 was Middle Polling - but at the very high end of that segment. It has gradually been creeping up since 2012. (Speaking personally, without my Poll Team hat on, I will need a couple of 16xx - but the E1 is outside my area).

Ben Alder Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Well the 16XX get my vote ...good for Forest of Dean Model fans like me, and a good small layout engine generally. You can also squeeze one in on a far North layout - 2 were based at Helmsdale, one of which I saw on Inverness back in 1961. Wonder if Model Rail will do the Scottish numbers (1646/9)? Good news! At least one will be heading to the Far North Line... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 That's a rarity, absorbed pre-group livery with hints of grouped ownership. A nice detail, I must say, and one I didn't think we'd ever see. There's a photo in the magazine dated March 31st 1927. If anyone wants to back date it to a LBSC one then it would probably only need a cocktail stick to remove the letter above the number.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted June 4, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 4, 2018 None of that list were E1Rs. Are there E1Rs as well please? Not a straightforward conversion, and the resulting loco, while relatively successful, always looked like a Heinz. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
choo1choo Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Whoopee dooh...An E1 at last! Two for me please...Stroudley IEG and Goods Green. A very happy bunny. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Not a straightforward conversion, and the resulting loco, while relatively successful, always looked like a Heinz. Thanks. FWIW, the survey did ask that if they did the E1, would we be interested in the E1R as well so maybe a follow on or completely put to one side due to poor results. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big James Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Great news guys and if they are to the standard of the USA tanks which is one of the best engines that I own. I’ll definitely get both early emblem E1’s. I’ve got a soft spot as most people have seen for small southern tank engines. Big James 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted June 4, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 4, 2018 What were the visual differences if one were to contemplate an attempt? Substantial. The pretty Stroudley cab was gone for a start, and the extra carrying axle put a new perspective on the poor thing. You might try Googling for some photos.
