bike2steam Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I don't think a T1 ever looked quite like that , with a Drummond dome and safety valves and Adams ramsbottom safety valve on the firebox . One or the other but not both. See the smeg - sorry - semg page on the class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium mclong Posted September 29, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 29, 2015 See the smeg - sorry - semg page on the class. According to SEMG No 10 did not ever receive a Drummond boiler , only Nos 11 , 15 , 63 and 361. Muz,s model would need an Adams firebox grafted on a Drummond boiler it did not ever happen.

Peter Bedding Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 As the postings above now include most useful comparison between the O2 and T1. My preferred timeline is 1946, expanded to include the decade before Nationalisation. I believe that both Number 7 and 255 were Friary locos at that time, and would have been seen together on any number of occasions. Likewise, pull-push set 734 was Plymouth based immediately post-war: My new K2105 has joined contemporary company. The layout is work in progress at the earliest stage.

tender Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Eagerly awaiting the arrival of 2 of the three O2's I have on order, both have been charged to my card but as the ship with the second O2 has only just docked it doesn't look as though any O2's will be running on Camel Quay at Wigan MRE this weekend. Boo Hoo! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Yes I am aware of the error with the dome on my model to t1 no.10 it is on the list of things to correct, having been built in my earlier days when I just the kit as it came (as it only had the one dome supplied) rather than used a kit to make a model.

mevaman Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Dear all As many of you know, I used to work for Kernow. Having spent the day at Havenstreet many years ago with Dave Jones, assisting with the laserscan of 'Calbourne' and taking 100s of detailed photos - I would love to see more photos of the model. I am at home recovering from a major operation and cannot go to the shop for several weeks. Any photographers out there like to share some pictures?

RMweb Premium Popular Post Nile Posted October 2, 2015 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2015 You want photos? Here they come. The box comes neatly wrapped in tissue paper. This box will look familiar to owners of a Beattie Well tank. it is in fact 1cm longer in all dimensions. Inside is the familiar ribbon. It comes with two bag-o-bits. Note the RCTS head-board. Secure inside the foam is the model itself. Here it is placed on my 6 inch micro layout. A close up of the plumbing and bits at the front. There is a lot of detail inside the cab, which is very hard to photograph. Nice lamp irons on the bunker. The electro-gubins inside the smokebox, easy to access behind the magnetically secured door. 30 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Storey Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 An absolute beauty! thank you. But that foam packing is not right. Eastleigh used green foam packing for their locos, surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozexpatriate Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) An absolute beauty! thank you. But that foam packing is not right. Eastleigh used green foam packing for their locos, surely? Quite right. But Mr Bulleid changed the shade of green and called it "Malachite". Surely Nine Elms used sage for their packing foam? I'm kidding of course. It should be Adams green, not Drummond sage or Urie whatever that olivey pea soup colour is called. Edited October 2, 2015 by Ozexpatriate 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mevaman Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Thank you so much for the photos. I am biased but she looks superb and definitely worth the wait. How can I run one on my 1990s/2000s China Ckay themed layout? I imagine that the Bodmin and Wenford could have Calbourne on loan one day and she takes a trip on the mainline with clay hoods!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold papagolfjuliet Posted October 3, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 3, 2015 I especially like the RCTS headboard. You can justify almost any engine on a layout set almost anywhere if you stick an RCTS or LCGB headboard on the front. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bodmin and Wenford have had Calbourne on loan, no need to imagine. (2012) Unfortunately the mainline Clay Hood trip would have to be an add on.

Intercity125 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I have Calbourne on pre-order and can't wait for it to arrive. I haven't been this excited since Everton beat Chelsea a few weeks back LOL. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PhilH Posted October 4, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 4, 2015 I saw 30182, the one I'm waiting for,on DJM's stand at Fareham today. If this, and the J94, Class 71 EP and well tank also on the stand represent what we can expect from him it really does look like a golden time for rtr. They are simply superb. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's still on a ship I believe (30225) but from what we can now all see it will well worth the wait. And with the sample photos of the gate stock looking great too, we are, as has been posted above, indeed in a golden age More power to your elbow!

Mike Storey Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 The Gate Stock does look gorgeous, but given the number of us who will have ordered the IOW versions of the 02, I just wish someone comes up with some carriages to go with them, even if just kits. Nothing on the market as yet, unless modelling the IOW pre-02's. There are some near-enoughs around, and these will have to do for now - I don't fancy cutting and shutting several £70 kits, and probably ruining half of them! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebell Model Railway Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Sadly we shall have to make do for a long time, with the Islands stock being unique and second hand, some were heavily modified like the SECR birdcage brakes, it was very mix and match so would be difficult for a manufacturer to produce any, and I hate to say it kits to, shall just have to use Ratio or suburban coaches, which are just about passable. Sadly shall have to keep dreaming. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spannerman Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hi For those looking for IOW stock there are currently some kits listed on Ebay item no 271926200332. Look to be manufactured by SmallBrook studio on the island itself. Absolutely no link to the company and I can't make recommendations one way or the other but I may order a set for when my 02 gets here.
