south Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Why no br blue shunters with tops code and high level break pipes for shunting emus as the southern is very popular and i suspect going to get more popular. These would be a good idear as the main manufacturers already have the main tooling. 07 being developed. Could be done in main catalogues or as limited editions and later in there lives but still in br blue went around the country so would appeal to more modelers then just the southern Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapford34102 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Hornby did a couple of versions with high level brake pipes some time ago http://www.hattons.co.uk/11280/Hornby_R2419_Class_09_Shunter_09012_Dick_Hardy_in_Civil_Engineers_Grey_/StockDetail.aspx Apparently not good sellers so unlikely to be repeated Stu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
south Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 Agreed in part but br blue was around for a lot longer then the liverys they did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium G-BOAF Posted September 18, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 18, 2016 Hornby did a couple of versions with high level brake pipes some time ago http://www.hattons.co.uk/11280/Hornby_R2419_Class_09_Shunter_09012_Dick_Hardy_in_Civil_Engineers_Grey_/StockDetail.aspx Apparently not good sellers so unlikely to be repeated Stu If they weren't good sellers, if someone can point me to a brand new R2419, that would be most welcome! I should have bought when they were around...! There was also a Mainline Blue high level piped 09 for Modelzone. I'd love to see the recently retired Brighton Southern Green shunter.

lapford34102 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Nice shots Ernie. Love the odd buffers on the front - hopefully Dapol won't notice these :-) Stu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted September 19, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 19, 2016 There is one of these on my local Auction site at the moment. In basically brand new condition. https://trademe.co.nz/1165049496 I'm sure if you were interested we could arrange something between us to get it to you.

south Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Awsome close up pictures makes me want 1 or 2 of these even more. The problem i have is they are not br blue and i am not good at painting. Can you get the pipes as spare parts from Hornby and just glue them on ?? Or do i need to wait for Hornby to do a blue 08 and 09 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Hroth Posted September 19, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 19, 2016 Is it just a bit of extra pipework on a bog standard 08? What liveries would appear with high-level pipework? A few bits of plastic rodding bent into the right shape with plastic card to form the mounting brackets, with wire for handles and a lick of paint should do the job. (I don't have a need for one myself, so the above is left as an exercise for the reader... ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
south Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Agreed about trying to do the pipes myself with bits of pipe but still worried. I can lay track do scenery but when it comes to modifying locos i always finish a bit disappointed. Think i will have to wait and pray to Hornby to do these fingers crossed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted September 22, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 22, 2016 One or both of the Cotswold Rail Class 08's Hornby issued also had the high level pipes. Used one for a repaint some years ago when they were selling them off cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
