33C Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) Chassis is defo Hornby Dublo and the pick up arrangement is outside WIRE, like a third rail, think docklands type. A curious arrangement that had its brief heyday between the wars. Plus, it did look like point rodding in a way. Check early Model Railway News issues for this "new 00 gauge" sensation!

Perhaps he's been reading Snow White and got confused with what poisoned apples might look like? Mind you, that looks like a loco that would benefit from "scrapyard" style weathering! He's a bit of a bodysnatcher, if you click on "see other items" the majority of his stock appears to be bodies, with a few chassis interspersed. He might have other things, but I only got to page 5 of his listings before I lost the will to live.... * JOKE!!! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) I have to admit a liking for the B.R. Express Blue B12. It went with the old GWR non corridor clerestory coaches in B.R. Corridor coach Carmine and Cream livery. https://www.hattons.co.uk/66483/hornby_r1089_the_anglian_analogue_train_set_with_b12_and_2_clerestory_coaches_produced_for_a/stockdetail.aspx Lovely looking...but totally “wrong”.

I got an Express Blue B12, DCC fitted no less, when you could pick up such things for little more than "mr_mike" is wanting for his distressed body*. Mine occasionally hauls blood'n'custard Mk1s, rather than the set clerestories. 7 hours ago, Ruffnut Thorston said: Though the B12 was an express loco when it was first introduced by the GER...which also painted them a shade of blue Very much a secondary loco on the retirement list by Express Blue days, most being repainted into black from Apple Green by BR. Its a pity that Hornby didn't do extra tooling to produce the original S69 body when they did the new tooling, with wheel valences and the Belpair firebox boiler. Now that woud look smart in GER Blue! * Perhaps that could be rephrased, but I can't be bothered.
