RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted March 19, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 19, 2021 Have pre-ordered a tops blue version with sound, and I'm looking forward to its arrival in due course. However, my bank account is swearing at me as it's also having to deal with an SLW 25/3 with sound. Fortunately I'm not interested in the 'current' 37s as I need tops blue 37/0 and revised standard 37/4 versions. However a Manor may yet be looked at (for a different era, natch). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted March 19, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 19, 2021 Ah, but that's an early tops 37/0 with headcodes circa mid 70s. I'm after a later tops, mid 80s, with blanked off headcode boxes (not even domino). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XChris Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 There's one 37 I'd like to see A/S do, and that would be 37057 in its BR green colour while in use with Colas on test trains. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry lamb Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Good morning, seeing that 'English Electric' type locomotives have been unquestionably the most long lived and reliable of DE locomotives on BR and it's successors, with many of the classes from the '50's and '60's still active in main line use, could possibly benefit from a dedicated thread on BR era EE products which may be concentrated on these locomotives as they share much in common mechanically and in longevity. I reckon 'English Electric' rail products as a whole deserve recognition. If there happens to be such an existing thread then please ignore this observation! I'm only a 'lurker'! Regards. HL.

I have no interest the class 50's and of all the 'EE' DE locomotives I find the 50's the least appealing! Awful looking machines! Bland is bland and then there are class 50's! I am not interested in wish lists whatsoever and I will pick whatever model I may deem useful for conversion to 18.83 gauge with correct size wheels and fully sprung/compensated bogies to improve running and appearance. I also re-gear some models if I find then too 'quick' for basic DC use, in particular some of Heljan's offerings which appear to have Mach 2 capability! However, if somebody gifted me an SLW quality 4mm. fully sprung 18.83mm. gauge model of a class 50 I would thank them very much for it, rip the body off and trash it and then have hours of enjoyment playing with the mechanism and maybe putting it in a EE type 3 or twin engined EE type 5. I also reckon the class 50's would have had more appeal, for me, that is, if they had wrapped it in a BR Mk.1 carriage shell! Anyway, I had always thought of 'wishlists' as belonging to the larger layout owners and users rather than small time bods like me who only 'dabble' in modelling in a small way. My biggest expense is in finding and purchasing components for the conversion of some of these RTR jobs to run on my very limited 'test/shunting plank' and that can be time consuming. Class 50's? Never! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 96701 Posted March 23, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) I'll just leave this here, then to try and get back to Deltics. I can't work out whether the number begins 55 or 9. I don't have a record of the date, but I have been told that the headcode is the up Flying Scotsman. Loco uncoupled from the train that it brought in. I have probably posted this elsewhere on RMweb, so please accept my apology for repeating myself.
