hartleymartin Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Well, the range of "industrial" types that we have are the L&Y Pug, and the J94/Austerity type 0-6-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwardian Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I suspect that, once manufacturers have taken the plunge, and, I hope, been rewarded by good sales, we will see more small industrials. Hornby may have been encouraged by their Sentinel diseasel, but their Pecket and DJM's Hudswell will be the proof of the pudding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 A very welcome addition! When I saw Kilmersden in 1965 it was in malachite green and red not the olive green of its preserved years. Regards Definitely getting at least one of these. I remember the one at Culter Paper Mill [just outside Aberdeen] being a green colour which on reflection probably wasn't far off malachite green. It certainly wasn't a "livery" and I rather had the impression this was the standard ex-works colour, ie; Pecketts came in green unless the customer wanted something different, just as wee Barclays came in light blue. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockershovel Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 More to the point, a great improvement over locos which were essentially designed and specified as toys, thirty years ago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted November 28, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2015 I'm hoping Hornby do one of these as 'George Jennings' for the Parkstone pottery line. I'd suggest it to them on their forum but I don't have a colour photo for the livery. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was aware it was an EP (As you say, it is obvious), and I'm aware the wheels that will be fitted to the model are spoked. I was merely questioning whether they were Bulleid FB wheels fitted to the model, since in my mind the front bogie wheels of a MN never had a crank pin. In a sense, I recognised them, but found it difficult to understand. So I guess, my question was more: Of all the spare wheels they could have fitted from their 'bargain bins', why BFB wheels and not a set lifted from a more apt model to better represent the EP? Apologies, I should have made myself more clear. Regards, Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Matt I imagine it was just the quick and easy option to get a set of serviceable wheels under the 3D printed shell to check the overall proportions. Dead easy to fix crank pins through the holes in a BFB bogie wheel - damn near impossible to drill through a spoke. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted November 29, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2015 That will be irresistible if they do one in Huntley & Palmer livery - no use whatsoever to me but definitely one to buy and invent a tale to justify it! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer an H&P fireless loco, as I drove one of them, but a Peckett or two would fit my favoured modelling period, and a small corner of H&P's system could make an interesting micro layout. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Dava Posted November 29, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 29, 2015 With reference to the BFB wheels on the EP, imagine if Mr Bulleid had designed locos for Pecketts! An airsmoothed 'Beast of Maerdy'? Q1 style shunters? Seriously this looks an attractive little model. Dava 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJS1977 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I'd prefer an H&P fireless loco, as I drove one of them, but a Peckett or two would fit my favoured modelling period, and a small corner of H&P's system could make an interesting micro layout. I never knew that - I nearly bought a full-sized H&P fireless loco a few years ago! I have got one in 00 somewhere I built from a very butchered L&Y Pug chassis but alas it's never really run all that well - I think the operation to reverse the cylinders was too much for it! Richard Picton did a painting of one some years ago: http://pictonart.com/photo_12096247.html I did once design a layout based on Reading Low Level Goods Yard, into which the HP locos ran - if I can get it to work in Anyrail I'll post it on here somewhere. Incidentally the H&P fireless locos now have a road named after them by Reading station - Bagnall Way. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
