RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted February 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2015 92214 is to run as 92220 'Evening Star' http://www.gcrailway.co.uk/special-events/railways-at-work-weekend-1819-april/ Looks like being the ultimate confusion for the punters, I'm surprised that the NRM have gone along with it (unless they are being handsomely reimbursed ).

RMweb Gold Corbs Posted February 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2015 Not really any more confusing than 'Bittern' running as 'Silver Link'? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted February 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2015 Ah but Silver Link (the real one) is long since gone. The real Evening Star is mothballed in the NRM still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, I still have no qualms with it, only if they appeared in the same place at the same time would I be concerned! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Accord Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The big question is are they going to inflict a copper capped chimney on it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

avonside1563 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Easiest way to add the copper cap is a few packs of this stuff http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/doff-slug-and-snail-copper-tape---4m-670664 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren01 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Latest news regarding the 9F is that it is set to appear at a forthcoming gala in unlined black and in weathered condition. So who is going to have a go at air brushing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Triang Paul Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 If I owned a 9f, I would paint it SDJR blue ; so there ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebottle Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 If I owned a 9f, I would paint it SDJR blue ; so there ! As Henry Ford nearly said, you can paint it any colour you want, so long as it's black. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who is going to have a go at air brushing it. I imagine this will be the same treatment that the 9F had before (and the 8F more recently) - poster paint. It's pretty convincing!

caradoc Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Surely a 9F is the perfect loco to show what a steam engine would have looked like in BR blue with double arrows, if only they had lasted a bit longer ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Boar Fell Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Erm, wasn't that gala last year when 92214 was changed from lined black to green via weathered plain black? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Colin Posted May 23, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 23, 2015 What about Railfreight grey, with the red stripe along the running plate and a large double arrow on the tender? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already been done, by BR, with matching coaches. They worked uphill out of Aberystwyth! Looked B----y awful. Phil T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
