Caledonian Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Have you been in touch to ask? My order would still be sitting there quietly going nowhere if I hadn't. Very friendly and helpful staff and swift response/action on the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Very much in line with my reasoning. Not much need for an NCB, Caledonian or GWR locomotive in coastal Essex. Bernard Yes, I think my only criticism so far is an excessive reliance on specific industrial or preservation liveries, rather than plain liveries. The Caley one in particular grieves me because while the [preserved] livery looks great, any cunning plan to invoke rule 1 and pass it off as a genuine Caley loco is scuppered by the post-WWI cab.

ndg910 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Am sorry if this has been covered already. As I understand it the GWR 705 version is a fictional as preserved version. But the GWR absorbed a Swansea Harbour Trust Andrew Barclay and numbered it 701. It was renumbered 1140 I think byBR and scrapped in 1958. Can the Hattons loco be converted? I ffound a poor quality pic and it looks like the cab is slightly different along with buffers and safety valve cover but am sure there will be other Swindonisation that will be needed. Can anyone out there help as I need to find an excuse for one of these. I may be barking up completely the wrong tree. Do I need one - no, but Rule 1 will prevail if a conversion is relatively painless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold tetsudofan Posted April 15, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 15, 2018 Have you been in touch to ask? My order would still be sitting there quietly going nowhere if I hadn't. Very friendly and helpful staff and swift response/action on the phone. But why should you have to get in touch? Surely if Hattons have taken the money and advised that the order is being processed that's what they should be doing - processing it. It worries me that the service being offered by Hattons is not what it used to be. On March 5th I returned a defective Heljan NCB Cl.14 to Hattons but not having heard anything from them by April 6th contacted them by phone and got a callback later advising that the item was with their dcc department who had done nothing because they were very busy. They hoped to look at the item that day. One week later I have still not heard from them. In retrospect maybe you are right, things are sitting there quietly going nowhere....

Surely if Hattons have taken the money and advised that the order is being processed that's what they should be doing - processing it. The problem was that they hadn't taken the money, which is why they hadn't started processing it, which is why a simple phone call sorted it.

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted April 16, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) 'Coronation' is currently trundling gently away on my rolling road. What a little beauty. Whoever designed it clearly read the NEM manual first. One pair of Kadee #19 heads fitted straight in no fiddling and gauged perfectly. You might get away with #18s if you have really gentle curves, but that's not really what such locos are about, is it? If my 'P' and this one are anything to go by, Hatton's are well on the way to establishing a very good reputation as 'manufacturers'.

Steamport Southport Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) 1140 looks like it's a much smaller version. Just had a look in the RCTS. It is a 14" with 5' 6" WB. Built 1905 as works number 1045, withdrawn 5/1958. Jason Edited April 16, 2018 by Steamport Southport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted April 16, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) 1140 looks like it's a much smaller version. 10" or 12" cylinders? Jason Looks like it doesn't it, but, according to the Winter 1955/6 abc (reprint), 1140 had: 14" x 22" cylinders, 3' 5" driving wheels, and weighed 28 tons.
