Al. Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Does anyone have any photos of K3 No. 227 fitted with experimental foam indicator kit? I've a pic of the LH in B Haresnape's 'Gresley Locomotives, and I've found a pic of the LH side from RCTS (See below). I could use copies any other photos that are available, particularly any pics from above or from the rear right. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

slilley Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 There are some good pictures of the loco with this equipment in Yeadon's Register of LNER Locomotives Volume 8 which covers the K3s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al. Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 Yeadon's, always a good place to start. I've just ordered myself the book. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just started on the CAD work for the kit to fit the Bachmann model. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why, but the K classes seem to have passed me by. Pity really as they are an impressive medium sized loco. Perhaps one day! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
