John Isherwood. Thanks I guess there will be quite a bit of sideplay in the wheelsets then. It sure is one ugly looking loco but each to their own I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Hawkins Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I managed to finally order the Late crest green version today, had great difficulty using the KR website, Michael was of tremendous help, just waiting for the GT3 now, so looking forward to getting my mitts on it.

It will be interesting to see how it manages on 2nd radius curves with its long overall wheelbase (longer than any Stanier steam loco including the pacifics and also longer than an LNER P2 2-8-2) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KR Models Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Right now, the sample is undergoing its testing and will be for the next couple of days. Once the testing is complete, we shall try to get the requested photographs. As a reminder, this is the first EP sample of the Fell and things are bound to go wrong. So please don't be shocked if it does. This is only meant to show that production is still continuing despite what is happening in the world. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ColinK Posted September 24, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 24, 2020 I’m delighted to see it progressing so well. If you have a spare body I would be happy to try painting it in BR large logo livery, it would need lots of yellow paint. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big square nose gives it a powerful appearance, IMHO. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'CHARD Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 There's a special place reserved for things like this (and Class 31s*); fortunately it never darkened the door of the Waverley Route at any point, and nor was it around by 1967, the commencement of my modelling era. [I've no aversion to one-offs and prototypes: DP2 did use the line in its daily routine as an honorary Deltic, I'm sure one day I'll cave in to temptation and add this to the allocation, in fact I've an Amercom donor body on standby.] * D5511 did - infamously - run both ways over the route, happily long before the Summer of Love. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
