RMweb Gold papagolfjuliet Posted January 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2021 Is the ex-Tri-ang cattle wagon, which first appeared in 1956, the oldest British railway model still in production? I can't think of any which predate it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hroth Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 An ex-Lima Deltic with TTS for just under £100 isn't that bad. I think I'd get the green one... 21 minutes ago, papagolfjuliet said: Is the ex-Tri-ang cattle wagon, which first appeared in 1956, the oldest British railway model still in production?

The blue and red lines in the large BR logo were very short lived. They were applied to the existing LL livery in late July 1981 and removed that October. The two Silver Jubilee 47s were 47163 and 47164, which were in BR blue with large bodyside Union Jack. Bachmann and Lima both produced that livery.

47164 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 A nice balance of 47/37’s with prices to suit tighter budgets. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDG Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 37510 Orion - is the model the correct split headcode body variant, or generic Limby centre headcode? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) The A H BETTS number 45 has been done before by Hornby using a detailed wagon. I normally buy everything SECR but will give this a miss. Edit: and will also give the Ex-'Thomas' E2 in SECR lined green (with H class number!) a miss too.

Had a major engine failure about 10 years on a tour to Paignton. Its in the queue to return at some point I believe. 164 is still with us too, although as a 57. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatloaf Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Ill probably get at least one of the 37s and 47s. Normally i go for BR Green or blue but i do like some of the modern liveries such as the colas and europhenix liveries. Scotrail 47 with TTS looks good as well. Deltic with sound seems interesting hopefully it will be decent. Green for me i think Shame they didnt do TTS with the network rail bubble car Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffnut Thorston Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) The cattle wagon was also used as a SR Sheep Wagon (Return to Lewes), a Harvey’s of Louth, Lincolnshire private owner wagon a GWR cattle wagon, a LMS cattle wagon, and appeared in the Thomas and Friends range in at least two liveries.... The original models had a die cast chassis with open axle boxes. The original Mk2b couplings were replaced by the new Mk3 Tension Lock couplings in 1959. The die cast chassis was replaced by a plastic chassis with plastic wheels on steel pin point axles from 1963. The Silver Seal version of the Sheep Wagon still used basically the 1963 chassis... The later chassis has the coupling loop moulded as a part of the chassis ... Thomas versions... The new Hornby Railroad version, if this illustration is not actually a retouched version of the above, still has integrated coupling loops, and the “low profile” coupling hooks, which have not been used for a good few years now I think...

Over the past few years it's been released in GWR livery with several running numbers. 105 (R1109), 107 (R1138), 597 (R1222), and others. A release with the correct number is a rare thing nowadays. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGR Hooper! Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Some lovely choices for the Railroad range, I think the younger ones will be drawn to the colourful liveries more than anything else. ROG Class 47 #47812, ROG Europhoenix Class 37 #37510 and a few other unlisted items have caught my eye. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
