Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) Hi Ph Hi Phill, When the 45/s were fitted with ETH the plated over steps on the side were welded up so the side is flush. See pic below. The boiler section on the roof was change too. I did the mod on my 4mm peaks. Hopefully the pic below will show the difference. Cheers Peter. Thanks for that Peter, much appreciated Looks like a renumber to a 45/0 is in order then?.....maybe 45035/45/65 or 45075 would fit the bill for this loco then?

RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted September 28, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 28, 2017 That pack only makes provision for plated over steps though Hal And the water filler covers - but yes I'd misunderstood the mods in question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be changing the number rather than doing the mods. The 45/0s still worked plenty of passenger trains back in the day more so in your time period. Had a quick look on Flickr and 45045 is a namer the others would be fine as they all had the small grilles covered. Cheers Peter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted September 29, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) If you put "class 45045 Saltley" into Google images someone rather conveniently crashed it into a viaduct allowing several photos of that end of the roof! Although its a different era as what is left of the nose is the later style, I still think once the steps were plated up, the two roof access points would normally be as well.

Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Having looked at a few 45/0's with numbers ending in 5 (making life as easy as possible) I have I think opted for 45035 as most 45/0's seem to have their numbers at the opposite end , but thankfully 45035 was numbered on the same end as mine ........pic below shows 45035 in this guise in 1976 , altough she too had her numbers at the opposite end later in life, but a 45/0 circa 1975/76 is fine for me https://www.flickr.com/photos/pics-by-john/8437745482/in/photolist-dRBDLo-ee3Ks9-da8BvR-VEwMo6-Vw7qde-nnQKg5-fptvDP-bNBE3x-VVrJgV-82d9Ep-73warV-e2swj2-9xcKVj-ddkcEr-4y6vgX-bCYgAT-n2XAjb-QZ6Co-9v2eFQ-kGvb4-cgxLpw-5JSUJT-aiZXzv-Jbi8ci-9sSSj1-VmpS66-oixY6W-9qFaAr-cApcQW-VDyi7Q-fzy6NQ-2sTeCu-f18Wpp-n8SjJZ-mCdD5r-nwiXkX-e6qETe-fseXwm-h9iBJk-9URPVU-ghejr3-aSJqke-rr3QCx-WAope6-cNNb4s-eemjH-rAvVge-r9tnju-q3wmMo-UFrjdt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 Interesting - wonder why they bothered with the steps then?! The steps would quite rightly be part of an agreement between management & rail unions for staff safety with overhead wires I would think Hal.

I wasnt about to compare you to Arnold, but after I wrote my Post, the Arnold Rimmer World and Terrorform episodes - and his song - popped into my head too LoL! It would be hilarious, but pricey, if a layout could be populated with modelu figures all with the same head, ie the owner/builder of the layout, it would really freak visitors out! LMAO!
