I would think that 5 locos would be enough for my eventual layout Q1 x2 R1 T C Quarry works shunter Though the second Q1 can wait a while until I get another working chassis A bit half Noah there then... Its always better to have multiples of the same class if you can, its more realistic.... Andy G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many K's ones have you got? (i've got 3 and I don't do the southern....) Andy G All of them have detail differences, and livery too where possible since they are all pre-grouping (Though not all LB&SCR) I had some help with research on pre-grouping changes to them, and have pretty much all the details for every change before 1923, I am quite confident I can do all 50 with some level of difference, I only have the one K's one, but would get more if they come up for a good price.

RMweb Premium uax6 Posted August 10, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 10, 2021 Well I think you can pass the test. Have you tried the Branchlines chassis under any of them yet? Andy G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted August 10, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 10, 2021 Not yet, it's on the todo list, as the Hornby made ones sit 2mm too high, which I find odd as the Dapol made ones were the right height and I can't find any difference, so I'm hoping I can use the Branchlines chassis to correct that, and make one quieter running with a decent motor / gearbox from High Level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia NSE Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 That's far too much Brighton for my liking! Anyway, both clerestories are now sporting several coats of Ashford's finest olive green (who's she? ) and their roofs have had their meeting with Mr Razor Saw. A quick spray of primer and a smearing of filler has us eagerly awaiting the sanding process. Having consulted my copy of Russell, the former J72 body has had its dome repositioned. The body will require plenty of bracing and filler, but it looks to be in proportion with the drawing within. Speaking of the Russell book, I found an error which was missed during editing, ironically in the Q1 section! A picture of what is claimed to be a Q1 pictured with a pagoda roof. Unfortunately it was an H instead but we'll let it slide as the book is a fantastic resource. I'll post some pictures in the morning for your perusal 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted August 14, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 14, 2021 Pre-grouping is the most sensible time period to model, there's no one around old enough to remember it and tell me I got it wrong 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
