muddys-blues Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Not decided on the missing vallances yet Craig, but it will definitely be BFYE I have the books from the 22 project society, great books with plenty of pics & information on withdrawals etc Best regards Craig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tove Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 The problem with missing vallances would be finding clear enough pics or diagrams of what is vissible when they are missing ? There are also some great pic`s on the Flickr class 22 group also. https://www.flickr.com/groups/2174423@N23/pool/page1 Some of which are duplicated in the two book`s that Craig has mentioned. But even saying that it`s still nice to have the books to flick through,plus it support`s the 22 build....... (no conection,other than a perverse liking of ugly...?, loco`s! ) Brian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Thanks Craig & David I have joined the Flicker group & I will study some of those excellent pics before settling on a particular member of the class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tove Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I forgot to add, that Classic Traction Images also has some very nice colour shot`s of 22`s that can be brought as a download for the princley sum of a quid!; https://classictractionimages.weebly.com/class-22s.html# (again no conection,just a happy customer ) Brian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) I have now picked a loco, & I am seeking any pics of the water tank area, particularly what is visible when the valance is missing? The loco I have chosen is D6343 in BFYE livery with the above panel missing. Edited July 30, 2018 by Phill Dyson (onslaught832) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 In the 2nd book of photos by the Project Class 22 Society, there's a photo on page 8 of D6343 at Barnstaple c.1970, with rather more than just one valance missing!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help? D6343 at Exeter St Davids.jpg No date, sorry. Dave In Vol 1 from the above, there's a photo of D6343 in June 68, with all valances intact, & looking quite clean & ex-works. So the above photo could be circa 1969 at a guess. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daifly Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 When it comes to weathering, note how the area above the windows has remained very dirty and uncleaned compared with this June 68 photo: Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Of course it might also depend on which side of the loco you look at. I wonder if one side was more prone to 'missing panels' than the other, depending on what was underneath that needed access? PS that last photo from Dave above is the June '68 one in Vol 1.

Druid Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Hi Phil If you have it take a look at British Rail Fleet Survey No 2 Western Region Diesel Hydraulics page 50 picture of 6338 with missing middle valance should do the job .

Druid Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hi Phil I'm no expert but looking at a picture of 6352 on the scrap line at Swindon page 93 of Looking back at Western Region Hydraulics which shows the other side would indicate that its a straight reverse of the other side . You always drop Steve Harrod a line I am sure he would be able to clarify . All the best Andrew 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druid Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hi Phil Having had another look at the photos (also see Rail on line Class 22 pictures 6352) definitely appears to be a rectangle box rather than square as on the other side . As an outside Fred Phipps 1/32 models my also know fphippz@yahoo.com All the best Andrew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hi Phil I attach some photos of my build which I really need to finish .I obtained some parts from JLTRT when they strted to produce their model .Notably new buffers ,fuel tank and bogie side frames and pipe work . In addition I had some new indicator panels etched which I had to do quite a bit of fettling as there was a mix up with the size .
