Broadway Clive Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Yippee! a class 11 shunter for 00 at last - that was my suggestion in the current Accurascale poll. Another good model choice by Chris. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Decorum Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 A Class 11 is excellent news. There will be fifteen liveries! Also announced is a Class 12 with BFB wheels “but please be aware that limitations to the tooling may mean that it’s not possible to include some smaller detail differences (also applicable to the Western Region machines).” Five liveries. There will be 300 produced of each livery and they’re due in the first quarter of 2022. Note that the editorial ends, “But we’re not done yet... watch this space!” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caradoc Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Great news about the Class 11/12/etc, well done Model Rail and Heljan. I enjoyed the article on the Hinksey Yard layout, having grown up in Oxford and spotted from the footbridge as mentioned ! However I would question the historical detail on the prototype; Surely Hinksey Yard was built during WW2, and while it subsequently served car traffic, that was not why it was constructed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 If you get a copy from Sainsburys, its bundled with "Britain's Model Trains 2019", 1156 thumbnail reviews of British N, OO and O models. Worth having if you haven't already bought a copy at cover price..... I'll leaf through the magazine this evening. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No- only a pic of the ones they have received with the review to be in the next issue. Puzzled over Chris Leighs article on detailing the tram loco as its seems to be truncated as if the Kernow advert has wiped out the end of the article. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve1 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Impressed enough with this issue to have actually bought a copy. Some real modelling in the real articles and interesting background gen on the 04 in particular. Plus the announcement of the Class 11. Good to have a modeklling mag to read and not just a picture book. steve 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Harlequin Posted July 13, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 13, 2019 The editorial on page 3 says: "Class 11 0-6-0DE [snip] it's perfect for steam-era layouts from the 1930s onwards." Really? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butler Henderson Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 What become class 11 was defiantly introduced in 1945 - 7120 later 12033 being the first in April that year. The proposed model of 7120 in pre war LMS black probably needs "as Preserved" adding to its description Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butler Henderson Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Had a quick re read of Brian Haresnapes book on LMS liveries (Ian Allan 1983 ISBN 0 7110 1281 4). During the war yellow lettering shaded red was applied so originally that presumably is what 7120 carried. Incidentally the loco on the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway masquerading as 7120 is actually WD70202, later WD26, WD878, Longmoor 44, AD878, and AD601; the real 7120 was scrapped in 1970. From photos on the web it looks like the phoney 7120 might have gold lettering which if so does lead to the possibility of two versions; yellow lettering as built and gold lettering as per the L&H loco.

Only the first few though. That's the earlier version as made by Judith Edge. Photo from Wiki. The rest of the LMS built ones had the LMS block straw livery. Then BRITISH RAILWAYS until they started applying the early crest. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
knitpick Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Interesting comment at the end of the Editorial:- "The class 11 perfectly complements our J70, USA and Sentinel, plus forthcoming 16xx and E1 [my emphasis - what E1?]".
