Dixie Dean Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Lima once made a model of 87017 as Lima L204809-HR01 "Iron Duke" in EWS livery. Was this just wishful thinking or did it in fact carry that livery at some point? Also 87101 was for a time owned by EWS. Did it every carry the EWS livery?

sirwilliamfrs Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Never seen that before! As to 87101, it never carried EWS livery, no Class 87 ever did. https://www.hattons.co.uk/175959/Lima_L204809_HR01_Class_87_Electric_87017_Iron_Duke_in_EWS_livery_Pre_owned_repainted_renumbere/StockDetail.aspx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No 87's carried EWS, the Hattons link is to a repainted Lima version (as stated in the advert) 017 carried BR Blue, Intercity (various I think) and Virgin red 101 carried BR Blue, Triple grey with Speedlink markings and back to BR Blue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaneofFife Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Was Lima still producing models when EWS came onto the railway scene? Not saying it didnt happen but I thought I knew every Lima 87 model they ever and I dont recall an EWS one. Dont even recall 87 017 appearing in any livery from Lima to be honest. To my mind from Lima we had (my knowledge on the virgin red releases is sketchy though);- 002 swallow 003 virgin 005 blue 005 exec 009 virgin 009 exec 010 limby 012 exec 018 exec 019 blue 021 exec with red buffer beam 022 ficticious large logo 031 inter city 034 blue 101 railfreight Edited January 12, 2019 by ThaneofFife Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 2004 I think they stopped Edited January 12, 2019 by teacupteacup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK, Lima didn't make that model in that livery. Hatton's description clearly states it's a repaint/renumber job. If you Google "Lima 204809" it comes up with 87101 Stephenson in RFD livery John Edited January 12, 2019 by Dunsignalling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard 87 model though, none of the unique mods of 87101 were incorporated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it lacked the accurate fidelity of all the other Lima models, the Lima class 42 was a landmark model in that respect never bettered, even by the latest Bachmann Class 43.

PM47079 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 MR & ME models used to do a Lima guide this list is a complete list of the 87s pretty much to the last one which was 87021. The red buffer beams generally meant they had had their previous overhaul at Stratford level 5 depot. Similarly treated were some 86s which I believe a couple had black headcode panels painted. I can't find any entry for 87034 so if it did get made it would be 2000 onwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
