No Decorum Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) Countdown as in C4 Countdown? Bet Andy's ordering 4mm versions of Carol Vorderman and Rachel Riley! 12" to 1' would be better! EDIT: finger missed key due to excitement.

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted September 9, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hmm, So what we know so far... It's more than 1 model, it's of a class more than one, one of them has strong hints of SECR compatibility. That narrows it down a bit. Loco 1: Must be 36001 Leader, and 1 complete and 2 halves were built, and could be painted in modern liveries as a departmental loco too.. (those diesel guys won't notice the difference), it's clearly a Southern loco, and most likely worked with withdrawn SECR stock for testing. Loco 2: as the first one was a steam loco pretending to be diesel, it goes the second one must be a diesel pretending to be a steam loco, similarly, as it was a big inefficient steam loco designed for doing little jobs, this must be a little diesel built to do jobs oversized for it... it's Claytons DHP 1 Am I close ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpencer Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) The SECR did have 15 Great Northern 2-4-0 E1s loaned to them between 1913 and 1915. However I doubt it will be this class announced as it won,t be high many SECR wish lists. If there are 2 classes, a Midland 2P is still a good contender. No one has done an RTR 2-4-0 tender engine before, probably because few made it to BR. If there is an SECR loco in there, as preserved types, we have the D class, P class and O1 still in preservation. If it is a D class, then Hattons will doubtless do a dozen variants/liveries, I could then easily see myself buying quite a few if I can afford them. Assuming of course it is not one of the wonderful prototypes since 1948. Edited September 10, 2017 by JSpencer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Well, one and all, between you, you have created a list as long as my arm. I’d be delighted by most of the suggestions and I hope I shan’t be disappointed by something run-of-the-mill. Whatever it is, I hope it has a decent motor and transmission. It would be a shame if we get something exotic let down by poor running because once it appears, no-one else is going to put the money into producing a better one.

RMweb Premium Izzy Posted September 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 10, 2017 It might be an extra bit of mis-direction to enhance all the fun and games - but the silhouette appears to show that the loco has salter valves on the dome. Although I always think of this as a mainly Midland trait others did have them in the early years, but it might narrow the potential field a bit.

coachmann Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) If it is a repetition of the ridiculously designed 14XX, it can stay on Hattons shelves for me. Edited September 10, 2017 by coachmann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
45568 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I hope it has a normal ordinary regular chassis with working coupling rods... Mmm..not *** models all geared drivers then for you Mr. C? (Mind you, I cannot see an MR 2.4.0. ever went near Carrog!). From Oz, Tongue-in-cheek, Peter C.

Steamport Southport Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Confirmed that it's two locomotives on the cover, which is slightly different to the one in the BRM thread. "Hatton's reveals two all-new locos" https://www.world-of-railways.co.uk/brm/store/back-issues/british-railway-modelling-october-2017/ Definitely a Kirtley 2-4-0 in the silhouette.

Can't be the Ratio one then, as the Ratio kit had an etched brass chassis by Perseverence and proper wheels (Maygib?). I've got one in my stash.

Butler Henderson Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Ordered 14:26 on Thursday, arrived before 10:00 today, isn't bad. Not as good Track-Shack, but does an extra day really matter? With one exemption every order I have placed with Hattons has been at least a week. Latest order was placed on Thursday. as yet no confirmation of it being despatched, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest order was placed on Thursday. as yet no confirmation of it being despatched, Providing you have a reliable Yodel depot near you, then this is the best Hattons option. You pay £7.00 and if you order before 2pm it is packed that day and dispatched for next day delivery together with tracking info. I can't use Yodel because I can no longer trust our local depot, so now I have to wait a week sometimes. Result: I often shop elsewhere. One thing that irritates me is the request to sign up and choose a password then after shopping with the retailer for some time, their computer suddenly doesn't recognize my email or password.

Steamport Southport Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Royal Mail is normally adequate for Hatton's. The Warrington hub is not far away from them and they drop them off at mine usually early the next morning. But I don't know what any of this has got to do with model locomotives though?

I sympathise with the individuals contracted by Yodel who have arrived gasping for nicotine induced breathing after climbing the steps up to our house ( Are they on zero hours terms ? ) but not on my doorstep,thank you. FWIW,Hermes is another "carrier" I avoid like the plague.They also operate on a "drop it and run" method. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted September 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2017 Yes, I'll certainly be ordering a couple (or maybe more) of one of the announcements and I'm sure there will be a fair number of people very pleased with what's coming. So that one won't be a Fell. I was also hoping for 10800, so no joy there either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is that a Crimson Lake herring? Jason Perhaps they will fill the gap on the Midland 0-6-0s with a Johnson 2F. Lots of potential for various spin-off rebuilds and liveries over a period of nearly 90 years. We've already got the 1F Tank, 3F (tender and Fowler tank) and 4F so how about the missing link. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
