When they do do a popular livery, they manage to get the font wrong. I'd have had a modest rake of as-built BOGIE BOLSTER Es; ex-works and supposedly on delivery from Ashford. That said, looking at the production samples, the underframe trussing looks a bit too deep and under-nourished. Nothing that can't be corrected, but why not get it right when cutting the tooling?

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted May 22, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 22, 2019 Nice! The era issue seems to be causing problems again though. Dapol quote 5-7 but surely branding with BEV/YNV places them in era 7 - not 5 or 6. Paul Bartlett's site has pre TOPs branding as E bolster V Wont stop us getting some - now where are the pre TOPs transfers? Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tim No; that was reserved for air-braked wagons; there was a project to fit some wagons with air-brakes, and replace the bogies with a two-axle underframe, but only five were done, and given the code name 'Pollock'. Most of the remainder became 'Turbots'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmrspaul Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 21 hours ago, Michael Delamar said: So what year was the brown livery on these first used? What? Always, as they were built fitted. These came relatively late to BR. It was grey that BR dropped for a few years in the early/mid 60s. Initially they were BOGIE BOLSTER E which became BOLSTER E VB when they received the boxed in style of lettering. https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/brbbe/e3f37b8a9 Speaking to Joel on Saturday advance sales are good and I'm hopeful a steam era version will be produced. https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/brbbe Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got confused with the mention of steam era version, assuming that they should be grey in the steam era. I’m happy to renumber and remove TOPS lettering to backdate one of these.
