Wickham Green Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Odd that there was no speculation that the 'Brighton' brake was long overdue an update* ............. that'll have to wait for another day but I'll have one of these - thanks - and consign the Jidenco kit to the scrap bin ! * Just spotted that it HAS been updated ..... it's THE '2019' wagon !

Skinnylinny Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 How does this Version of the LSWR brake van differ from that being produced by Kernow? The Kernow one is a rather older design, with outside framing - see this image: The Kernow van is also a "Road Van" - that is, it is effectively a goods van which has a guard's compartment, which would be used for carrying small parcels which wouldn't justify a whole van, the guard dropping them off as the goods train travelled along the line. The Hornby one is purely a guard's brake van. [image is CC, from Wikimedia Commons, by Geof Sheppard] 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Good to see some love for pre-grouping wagons. Wait for the inevitable comments that it's too modern. Built between 1915 and 1921 if anyone is wondering. Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, my layout's 1900-1910, but still... one of these might appear as a placeholder while waiting for me to either build or buy a Panter van... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Curious that they've chosen this diagram instead of the similar 1549 built for the ROD and brought second-hand by a number of pre-grouping companies and the Met.

Not that similar ! - sort of a cross between this and the Road Van announced by others ................ apart from the 2'' width difference between the ROD and 'domestic' version ( they'd get stick if they ignored it ) there were, inevitably, as many different versions as owners - but it'd be a nice van for certain.

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted January 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Curious that they've chosen this diagram instead of the similar 1549 built for the ROD and brought second-hand by a number of pre-grouping companies and the Met. Diagram 1549 was a Road Van, effectively a larger, modernised version of the one Kernow are planning, rather than a full Goods Brake van. There is a current kit available, from Smallbrook Studio, I think. The 24T "New Van" picked out by Hornby will be very welcome.

RMweb Premium Islesy Posted January 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2019 Anyone know how long they lasted in BR service? Withdrawal of the type from service commenced in 1957 and by 1961 just two remained, 55006 and 55037, lasting until 1962 and 1963 respectively. Some examples made it to departmental and internal use, with 55072 being noted at Gorton, Manchester in 1950 and 55025 being noted at Andover Junction between February 1958 and January 1961 as 080673. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
autocoach Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 No longer a promise on old Cambrian website...new owners of Cambrian apparently could not get to it. Alas no fun of a kit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilwell Park Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I have been waiting for the Cambrian kit for ages so this is very welcome. I can now replace my, not very good, conversion from a Trix, LMS?, brake van. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan70000 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I can't deny it looks good, but I would have thought an SECR one would make more sense. Then they would be able to issue a train pack featuring the P Class, the SECR 3 Plank and a matching brakevan. I do think Hornby have missed a trick there.

That's Hatton's. The only SECR locomotive Hornby make is a passenger engine. Obviously not including the Terrier.

nathan70000 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Good point! I suppose they could have done a pack with the SECR Terrier though, elementary seeing as they've done an LSWR one. I wonder if they're planning an LSWR freight locomotive of some description? Edited January 7, 2019 by nathan70000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they're planning an LSWR freight locomotive of some description? I think the LSWR bought a terrier at one point too so it's still a possibility for the future.

Robin Brasher Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 The Adams Radial was a maid of all work in LSWR days when it was retired to branch lines and was used on freight trains. The LSWR Terrier does not look out of place on a freight train. Unfortunately the 700 looked different from the Hornby model in LSWR days so it would need more than LSWR lettering.
