Wickham Green Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Drivel Factor 10+ With comments like that you'll start a digression on the merits of types of Whisky and the use thereof in imparting a Scottish atmosphere to a layout involving a distillery via a Seuth smoke generator.... Ooops... ........... now that's a thought - with all these e-ciggy thingies on the market nowadays, I wonder if they do a peat smoke flavour to use in that afore-mentioned distillery Seuthe ? ......................................... or - to get dangerously close to back on topic - do they do a coal-smoke flavour for the P ??!? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted January 22, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 22, 2018 Well, its on the boat. I wonder where the boat is? Why? Yes, why? Viva la difference mon amis. Let's have a sing along a P thread to lighten the tone every so often. Life is too short, get on with it. A. G. Reaper 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I’ll have you protesters know that thanks to the “drivel”, this thread is now one screen ahead of that other one. JSpencer will now be in ecstasy. That has got to be good! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenrithBeacon Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I've looked through the thread and can't find a similar query, so apologies if this has been asked before. Is the chassis built on traditional lines for a steam locomotive, ie motor driving one axle, or has it been designed as though it is a diesel/electric locomotive with a geared chassis, but with cosmetic coupling rods? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a smoke oil designed to smell of coal and hot oil. I’m sure it’s very evocative and a lot better than the smell of violets but only safe for garden layouts, I dare say.

It’s been done properly, i.e. the coupling rods will do their job. Hatton’s Dave seems to have read RMWeb, noted which features people didn’t like and avoided them.

RMweb Gold Hattons Dave Posted January 22, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 22, 2018 Morning all, Our P class loco is one of the most eagerly awaited models of 2018. We can now confirm that the majority of the production run left our factory and are on the way to us. The production samples can be seen below and show the detail we have included on these locomotives. For the SECR versions, we will have full samples soon but the images below show the improved lining we have been able to reproduce (the model shown is not to full production standard and is missing some of the smaller details). There will be 2 batches for delivery and the dates of delivery are as follows: H4-P-001 - SECR P Class 0-6-0T 178 in SE&CR full lined green (with brass) H4-P-002 - SECR P Class 0-6-0T 753 in SE&CR full lined green (with brass) H4-P-003 - SECR P Class 0-6-0T 754 in SE&CR grey H4-P-004 - SECR P Class 0-6-0T A325 in SR lined Maunsell green with Maunsell lettering H4-P-005 - SECR P Class 0-6-0T 1555 in SR black with Egyptian lettering H4-P-006 - SECR P Class 0-6-0T 1558 in SR black with sunshine lettering H4-P-007 - SECR P Class 0-6-0T 31027 in BR black with early emblem H4-P-008 - SECR P Class 0-6-0T 31323 in BR black with late crest H4-P-009 - SECR P Class 0-6-0T "Pioneer II" in Bowaters Paper Mill green H4-P-010 - SECR P Class 0-6-0T "Pride of Sussex" in Robertsbridge Flour Mill green H4-P-011 - SECR P Class 0-6-0T 27 “Primrose” in Bluebell Railway lined black (1960s) H4-P-012 - SECR P Class 0-6-0T 323 “Bluebell” in Bluebell Railway lined blue (2010s) Cheers, Dave 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted January 22, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 22, 2018 The loco is so small it makes the coupling look like those horrid old giant ones used by Hornby and others....

Peckett size has no influence on taking a P. ...Our P class loco is one of the most eagerly awaited models of 2018... I am sure Hattons could afford a length of code 75 bullhead (ideally ballasted and painted) to really show off older/smaller steam models? I want to click 'like', 'thanks' , 'informative/useful' and 'Craftsmanship/clever' all at once to the Hattons post. How do I do that please? A dream is finally coming true.
