I seem to recall seeing a couple go for silly money on eBay...? Hi D5541 Trix done a model that was in their strange scale of 3.8mm to the foot. I have one and it does not look too out of place.

Fat Controller Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Hi D5541 Trix done a model that was in their strange scale of 3.8mm to the foot. I have one and it does not look too out of place. I had one; the flanges were so deep, they rode on the 'chairs' of Triang Super-4 track. The body was quite nice, though, and the motor was rather better constructed than the X04.

Brian R I don't know what plastic Trix used for their underframes, but I'd love to see it used for some modern models. The only problem was that you needed stop-blocks on both ends of any storage tracks on shelves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
br2975 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Br2975 - would you be able to email me a copy of the class 11 drawings if I asked nicely? I have scanned both articles, wich contain drawings of (i) GWR No.1 / BR 15100 (ii) SR No.1 / BR 15201-15203 (iii)LMS No.7080 / BR 12003 - 12032, and (iv) LMS / BR 12033-12138 - BR 15101-15106 . It's too big to go via RMweb, so PM me your e-mail address and I'll sent it on to you. . Brian R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The body (not too bad) and underframe (not too good) have since been seperated. . I'll leave it to you to work out what the proposed outcome may be ? .

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted October 24, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 24, 2015 Hi Clive I didn't know that Judith Edge done the class 11. Last time I spoke with Mike, we chatted about the LMS Jackshaft locos, I couldn't remember which version I have built so I came away with a Ruston-Hornsby 165hp kit instead of another Jackshaft loco. No we have not produced any class 11 or near relatives - yet. Judith & Michael D5541: How about one of my favourite classes, an ex WR PWM loco, built by Ruston.? http://www.ukmodelshops.co.uk/judithedge/kit/141 They also do Ruston 88DS, which worked at Reading Signal Works and was numbered 20 in BR days. http://www.ukmodelshops.co.uk/judithedge/kit/390 Both Judith Edge kits, very good reputation. Hint to Mr Edge: would still like these in 7mm......... 7mm RH 88 and 48 are at the test building stage now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell Saxton Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 If of interest several Class 11s and at least two Class 12s made it to BR Blue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell Saxton Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Black with wasp stripes-several hundred Class 08s and some carried the black until the 70s, D3052 was withdrawn black in December 1973 and 08105 is believed to have been black until 1975 though I do not have concrete proof.

Swindon 123 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Black with wasp stripes-several hundred Class 08s and some carried the black until the 70s, D3052 was withdrawn black in December 1973 and 08105 is believed to have been black until 1975 though I do not have concrete proof.08221 is another early livery that lasted late. See the photo here, https://flic.kr/p/rWWSaY, and decide for yourself. My moneys on green livery, but with the first Lion & Wheel emblem. If of interest several Class 11s and at least two Class 12s made it to BR Blue. Russell I know of eight class 11 as follows. D12040. D12047. 12052. D12062. 12069. 12071. 12082. 12083. Also 12108 had a double arrow logo in green, 12121 had TOPs type numbers and 12091 retained the first style of Lion & Wheel emblem until the end and may well have been in black, although it's impossible to tell on the photo I have. The only class 12 I've seen in blue is 15212, although 15224 was in a "sort of" BR blue when in service with the NCB, was that the other one? Paul J.

Russell Saxton Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 The other Class 12 was 15211, I have a good colour shot of it but can't post here, though I can PM you with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) I think I will have one with SR Boxpok wheels, I hope that one day, a company will producea model of the LMS Jackshaft diesel shunters LNER 150001 - 3 Similar to the LMS diesels were LNER DES J45 https://www.lner.info/locos/IC/des1.php Those LNER shunters ended up at Crewe shed at or around withdrawal in September 1967, Edited February 5, 2020 by Pandora Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two types of wheel were very different and, as far as I am aware, Boxpok wheels were never used in this country. Even in mainland Europe they were a rarity outside of the American built class 141Rs on SNCF. Jim Edited February 6, 2020 by jim.snowdon Typo.
