The big prairie it was converted from carried with a no 2 boiler instead of the no 4 on the 3150 which the 43XX is a tender version of. In 1910, the drawing office only created eleven extra drawings for the 43XX, everything else was from the 3150 plan. It was an interesting idea by the WSR but based on sound history.

Mike Wiltshire Hi Mike It is a real life "What could have been" or Swindon's version of a BR standard class 3. More importantly it is a working steam locomotive in 2020. 4 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Brian The reference to the BR class 3 was in relation to the boiler, the class 3 tender and tank locos had what was basically a GWR number 2 boiler but with BR bits and bobs added to it. So as a 2-6-0 it is Swindon's version of the BR 2-6-0. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As promised we see ROD class 3005 on a westbound mixed freight train running under H lamps. Also seen is a LMS three plank which has the RAF liveried Willy's jeep as a load, hopefully roped correctly. The Bachmann ROD has an adjustable screw on the tender which really allows close coupling between the loco depending on your curves. 29 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted November 30, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2020 Really like the ROD loco, Robin, but I can't work out if it's a grubby black one or an even grubbier green one? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I had no inclination these were going to be announced. I won't get a NCB version, but would be really nice looking if it had the red connecting rods! I'll probably end up repainting an unlined one into a fictitious livery for the 15xx's, either 'GWR' or the transitional 'British Railways' version. Just depends on how much time I want spend working on sanding off the smokebox plate 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted December 1, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2020 Good to see that they are doing a Z4 as opposed to being a duplicate of the Parkside Z2, though at over £30 for a short wheelbase wagon its going to be a tough one to justify (when you could have 3 parkside kits for the price) Its probably a good thing that the 15xx were a BR build as I dont think I would have been able to resist something with that much character, even if it never went anywhere near Brent. 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
