WhiteRoseRambler Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) According to DerbySulzers, the following non headcode box examples were still active in 1977: 24023 24035 24036 24047 24057 24073 24082 24087 24091 Forgive me if this has been asked earlier in this thread but would any of these be a direct renumber from 24063 as the model is depicted? I would consider getting another example of 63 to complement the version I have if a simple renumber is possible. Grateful for any advice. Many thanks.

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted January 17, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2017 So what to check? Boiler tanks...sand boxes....nose doors Those are the issues that immediately come to mind - others may come along with more Kind regards Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of IKB Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) 24035 and 24091 are both same spec as 063 in terms of nose doors sand boxes and underframe tanks, though the position of warning flashes on nose ends varies over time, between locos and even from one end of a loco to the other. Both 035 and 091 had them inboard of the tail lights on at least one end also builders plate is in different place compared with 063. Otherwise they're the best candidates. Also check the bodyside footsteps, some locos had them all plated over, others including 035 had the lowest one open and just the top 2 plated over. It may be that this was just on one side, to be honest im not sure. The model has them all plated over on both sides so is incorrect. I've seen at least one picture of 24081 with one step unplated, so possibly the model is incorrect. 023, 036, 047, 057, 073, 082, 087 are all definately out because they have the water tank still fitted to the underframe Edited January 17, 2017 by The Ghost of IKB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ghost of IKB Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 No problem, I'm toying with the idea of getting a second 24063 to renumber into 091 myself, so I was already looking into the differences. Don't know whether to get 063 again or wait to see what is the next release. Hopefully it will have the water tank fitted underframe, so will be good for all the other late survivors bar 24133.

RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted January 18, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 18, 2017 Was 24 081 not active as well? As was 063, but list is for potential renumbering options and these two models are/were available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of IKB Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 24081 was of course the last one to be withdrawn, but it had different sand boxes to 063 and all the other non water tank locos, so it isn't strictly an option for renumbering from 063.

WhiteRoseRambler Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I know, and I have that one. My question was about 24063 and which of the others (not including 24081) could it be renumbered to! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium wagonbasher Posted January 18, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 18, 2017 Has anybody else seen on ebay that there's a SLW 24 ( D5098) for sale. As Charlton Heston said about his gun & taking it from his cold dead hand. The same applies to my SLW 24. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322383968770?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true The hillbilly farmer said much the same to the bug in MIB, different result.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted February 2, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 2, 2017 I agree, but there are still a few variants of the skinhead version missing..... D5018 with the extra grille on one side only. Any of the two tone green ones, a ER small yellow panel loco they had the thin green line between the yellow and the lining band at the bottom, an all green production locomotive (so far the all green ones have been pilot locos) and a Derby repaint with the square top small yella.
