RMweb Premium Dava Posted March 3, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 3, 2015 Seeing is believing (not that I'll be there to do either, sadly).

mopar Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 The Dapol saga rolls on and on....Yawn I was pointed in the direction on Roxey/Omega models whitemetal kits. Their Terrier and P class look nice, I might just give one a go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

flexible_coupling Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 The photo of the Southern livery on the Terrier is very sharp. It looks as though it'll be worth the wait (in my singular opinion)... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NeilHB Posted March 7, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 7, 2015 Quick snap of the sample Terrier from the Lionheart trains stand at Kettering today - lovely! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthesnail96 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Mr Webster dropped in to our club meeting last Friday with the samples that are on display at Kettering today. There's a few photos on the blog here. As I've said before in this thread, I'm no expert on Terriers at all and cannot comment on the various detail aspects- personally I have no interest in sitting with a reference book and nit picking- but aesthetically they are lovely and certainly capture "the look" for me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 7, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks Matt! now I'm going to have to buy a Southern one! Certainly captures enough for me to dabble, just the one for display honest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted March 7, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 7, 2015 I can be a bit nit-picky when it comes to one fo my favourite classes of locomotive, but even I'd be happy to own one of these (in A1X, Marsh Umber or BR Lined Black).

Kickstart Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hi A few more pics from today:- http://www.alfa-pages.co.uk/TempPicture/Terrier1.jpg http://www.alfa-pages.co.uk/TempPicture/Terrier2.jpg http://www.alfa-pages.co.uk/TempPicture/Terrier3.jpg http://www.alfa-pages.co.uk/TempPicture/Terrier4.jpg I really like them. Richard confirmed these are the factory paintwork All the best Keith 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Western Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I assume the real loco has a hole in the cab back wall for the fireman to shovel coal out of ? Has the model, I can't quite see on the pictures ? Great Western . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Question, so this Richard from Lionheart is the same Richard from Dapol who are also doing an O guage Terrier. Is this a conflict of interest? I am confused, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted March 8, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Richard Webster of Lionheart has also been working for Dapol on their latest developments for a while now. It is the Dapol Terrier that he has been showing on his stand. Edited March 8, 2015 by Graham_Muz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ressaldar Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) I had a good look at the Terriers at Kettering yesterday and my only comment to Richard Webster was that on 2644, the 'condensing pipe' from the smokebox to the tank (as fitted on the other version) was missing, otherwise, a very good model. I hope that the pipe can be incorporated in the production model. The pipe on 2644 and the tank top vents were removed by the time on Nationalisation, I think that there are pictures of 32644 in plain black livery with British Railways in Sunshine lettering cheers Mike edited to include references to 2644 Edited March 8, 2015 by Ressaldar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_tyne Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I know nothing about the Terriers really, or Southern locos in general to be honest, but that green SR liveried version looks lovely! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted March 8, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) I believe condensing pipes were removed from the Terriers mainly in LB&SCR ownership. I don't think any reached grouping with them. Ignore this, I was in error due to my failing memory Edited March 9, 2015 by Ian J. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Dava Posted March 9, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Some Terriers did retain condenser pipes in SR days, even after rebuild with A1x boiler, whilst others lost them as A1s. The only authentic answer is to model a specific loco at that time. Dapol seem pretty close with their variants. Handal Kardas' book is worth having as a guide.

alaneggleston Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Photographs in Tom Middlemass's excellent book 'Stroudley and his Terriers' show 2644 still with condensing pipes in May 1939, but gone by July 1948 when in BR black. Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ressaldar Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hi Alan, many thanks for posting that information, I had seen the book but could not remember the title. I have been informed by Richard Webster that it is too late to incorporate the pipe onto 2644, my feeling is that there might now be a change of number to suit the configuration. I shall be buying 2644, remove the vent pipes and repaint it in plain black with sunshine lettering as I think it is portrayed in Tom Middlemass's book, as I have already done on a San Cheng model, using 4mm scale Fox Transfers. cheers Mike 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreservationModeller Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I don't do O gauge... normally. But these Terriers look enough to make me start. Just waiting for a 55 "Stepney" as preserved before the wallet finally gives in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cromptonnut Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) It doesn't fit my modelling needs in the slightest - wrong part of the country, wrong time period. But it's going to be very difficult to resist. Can anyone come up with a picture of a Terrier at South Nutfield in the early part of the 20th century?
