We should have a reunion at the start of next month at Spennymoor Show. Wonder if I can persuade Oxford to attend in place of DJ Models with the J27. Would be nice... then they can find out how much a J21 is bloody well wanted. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

truffy Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 This is going to be a Rule 1 for me, for 'tis 'andsome! Early BR (and probably NER when it comes to pass). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Phil Parker Posted November 22, 2019 Administrators Share Posted November 22, 2019 Dusty, and it's taken a few knocks, but looking nice. We'll have more detail in Monday's free BRM Express newsletter. 11 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGair Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 There was a photo on Railway Modeller mag's facebook page with Steve Flint holding a decorated BR Loco. No tender attached. It looked pretty good to my eyes. Here it is below. Just a taste to wet your whistle. Mark 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2019 As I hoped, after the excellent N7, the J27 is not disappointing, and I hope to make several purchases. It’s nice to see the three link couplings and fire irons. How well Oxford are doing with this lovely model. Lets hope that next a B16/1 is developed for passenger services, since we now have two freight engines - the Hornby Q6 being the other one.

micklner Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Large safety valve on the unlined LNER version whic would be early 1930's at the earliest , correct ?? Either way she looks excellent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earliest? No, they were never lined in LNER livery. Balance weights fitted from 1932. Safety-valve trumpets hung on till at least 1936 - and probably beyond, but that's as late as I've ever modelled one. 4 hours ago, micklner said: Either way she looks excellent I wouldn't go that far on the strength of these photos. Cautiously, I'd say the boiler-smokebox relation looks improved, but it's not possible to say if the cab-side windows and brake gear have been corrected. The frames are still too deep (too low between the wheels), but that's probably unavoidable in RTR - Hornby's J36 is the same. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes iI know they were'nt lined !!, I see what you mean re the Cab windows a tad deep perhaps?. I wont lose any sleep over the frames however, as you said r.t.r , the Tender looks good too, and at a good price too !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too deep, no - too small, and therefore too far apart on the artwork up-thread. But that is hopefully no longer the case. What was your question re safety valves?

As to Cab windows, I will have to compare with the Oxford version against my Bradwell in due course, as above !!

DougN Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Well I think I will be getting at least one. I however better get a Dave Bradwell kit one finished! But it is pushed back by the V2 and the J39 I have been doing things on! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
