It could be the lighting, although Dapol don't have a great track record on colours for some of their models. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently just the running numbers, they're both Class 21. Incidentally, it's interesting that the "Revised Class 21 running numbers" call-out is placed alongside the Class 29 locos!

Signaller69 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 They are looking good, the bodyside turn under looks better than the early samples. I'm not replacing my BR blue Bachby-Hornman hybrids, due to the blood, sweat and time that went into them, and particularly as Dapol have chosen the same 2 numbers that I have already done.....! But I may well be tempted by a two tone green version which would allow my third hybrid to become oddball class 29 D6123 with disc headcodes. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve, Without getting the books out, weren't the GN batch the pilot batch and had a different grille arrangement for the radiator intake? They were altered to be the same as the production batch after being transferred to Scotland. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I seem to think the GN ones were low numbered so I'm sure you're right. Thanks for letting me know; it'll save me making a mess with transfers ....

stewartingram Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I saw D6110/12 on delivery from Doncaster (assumed as I've seen pics of it there when new), heading south towards Cambridge on the loop via St.Ives. Stewart 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted August 3, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 3, 2019 D6121 is in its pre 1964 condition, before it swapped cabs with D6122 following an accident. D6122 had windscreen wipers at the bottom and (D6122- onwards) no cab vents, unlike D6100-21. Post 1964 D6122 was rebuilt as a 29, and D6121 became stuff of legend in Barry with both numbers showing through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some time ago when discussing the Hornby 29, BernardTPM pointed me to a Wikipedia photo of D6103 in 1959 at Harringay which shows the original grilles: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_21 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also has LT trip cock gear fitted, which I haven't noticed on this batch before. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
