railroadbill Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) Very nice layout there, barrymx5. Here's my terrier, not the best pic but it's getting late :-) Terrier is a really nice model imho, just oiled it as per instructions and it purred round the layout straight out of the box. Runs very slowly as well. (This is dc). Excellent finish, cab interior looks good as well. So very pleased with this, glad I got one.

Jenny Emily Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I’ve just recently got Brighton from Hornby. I must say, I love the rendition of this livery. I’m tempted to track down a Merton and pick up a Leadenhall too. Have any others been done by Hornby in this livery? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffnut Thorston Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 That’s Stepney, number 655, when placed onto the “duplicate list”. So, no number plate, which was the original number, 55, which could then be reused on a new build. There are some differences to Stepney as now preserved at the Bluebell Railway... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pre Grouping fan Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 There probably a few minor differences but the new collectors club limited edition model of the Brighton works shunter is the closest to Stepney as preserved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be churning these out for decades in every conceivable variety. I half expect a preserved Stepney special very soon. It is the 60th Anniversary of the Bluebell after all.... No inside information just a guess. Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the alphabet, but Precision Labels will make up a custom name and (printed) number plate for you at this link: http://www.precisionlabels.com/pay.html?6.00&Terrier-55-Stepney Simply replace the 55 with your running number, and Stepney with your chosen name, in the Description text box on the web page. For example I would write Terrier-35-Morden. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted August 18, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 18, 2020 Railtec as well. They have the carrier-less transfers. Always found them to be fantastic and quick with custom work. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepney had the Westinghouse air brake pump removed, certainly by the time that the loco was working the Hayling Island branch. No Westinghouse air brake pump has so far been refitted, as far as I know. I did some basic modifications to a Dapol Stepney with 55 number plate to represent Stepney as preserved...the loco started off in IEG with the number 55 painted on like the 655 version. Later, replica cast plates were fitted... I also did some basic modifications to a Hornby, ex Dapol, model of Brighton Works... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cor-onGRT4 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Received Brighton last Friday , have two SR versions 2662 and Bembridge, and was no intention to by others but could'nt resist Brighton, as Jenny says this pretty colour, i was lost and bought one. Now to wait for Hattons LBSCR 4/ 6 wheel coaches, what a nice couple this will be. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Emily Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I received my Brighton Works, along with a Leadenhall, in the post yesterday. I am certainly not disappointed. The colour looks right to my eye, and certainly far better than some of the older version offerings in my collection like Waddon and the almost faded Whitechapel that looks particularly bad. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
