RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted February 2, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2018 This is beautifully presented,sitting in its now customary clear plastic cradle within a foam lined wood presentation box with accompanying instructions and attractive illustrated booklet prepared by Locomotion/NRM. 2516 is finished in Great Western gloss (Locomotion speciality ) green and is a altogether a handsome model with much fine detail over which I am currently drooling. Let's just say that I am happy and it is worth the wait.Well done Oxford,Brian and the guys at Locomotion and not forgetting Sandra who has moved on to pastures new but who still keeps popping up on occasion. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted February 2, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Looking forward to getting the sound version but Locomotion told me a couple of days ago it'll be about another month.

Quarryscapes Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I'm sure it'll look fine when you've dirtied it up a bit... Yeh, it's going to end up black! Not sure if I'm going to just swap the running plate with my black 2409 and save the Green body for something else yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted February 4, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4, 2018 Be interesting how the NRM version and the bog standard version (whenever it appears) compare when in the notionally same livery. Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarryscapes Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Be interesting how the NRM version and the bog standard version (whenever it appears) compare when in the notionally same livery. Keith Website artwork shows it to be exactly the same minus the silver on the smokebox door and a green safety valve. It will be dull finish rather than gloss.

rovex Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) Wow, came with a free laptop Does look very decent though. Yes but Oxford have got the colour of the keyboard wrong and have added extra rivets round the letter A. Edited February 5, 2018 by rovex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWR8700 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) A nice model, it looks enough to me like a Dean Goods to pass as one. I particularly like that some of the finer details are quite secure and not easily broken. It certain't makes me less anxious when it's upside down in it's locomotive cradle! I do wish that they had painted the underside of the boiler green like the rest of the loco but other than that it's a pretty nice locomotive and I'm glad I've bought it. It runs faultlessly so absolutely no qualms on that front and the box it comes is pretty special, I can see why they're pleased with it! I look forward to the plain green one soon.

Garethp8873 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 On the subject of liveries of 2516, is she wearing GWR Wartime Black or GWR Green in the attached photo? If I need to remove it I will but I can't determine if she is in Green or Black livery... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarryscapes Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Technically its BR Black. The GWR markings on the loco were only added for this particular railtour, the buffer beam numbers remained on afterwards but the smokebox plates were returned to white. There were 2 GWR lettered tenders at Oswestry at least, and 2354 shared 2516's appearance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarryscapes Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Icidentally I'm trying to work out out what to do with mine. I thought I'd found a photo of it in this livery (but dirty) at Oswestry with a Parallel chimney, and was going to run with that - till I found a photo taken the same time which shows it was in shirtbutton livery and with different tender frames.

As far as I can tell the date of the tour was 21 May 1955 and I suspect that the location is Cleobury Mortimer?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
