Certainly - so long as you can confirm that that'll be Hattons next project ...................... hang on, that ought to be a new thread ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted April 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 19, 2018 It must be someone's next project, after all I have just got a kit of one!! Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Ok, a couple of pics of the Q. The only connection is that it was running on the day I took my Hattons P class to the line and uhmm the Bluebell shop had Hattons P Pioneer II on sale in their shop display cabinet. In this next shot, I stood on the front of foot plate as the engine headed back to Sheffield Park. My Hattons Bluebell was in my camera bag at the time. Boy that was hairy, but how many can boast standing on the front foot plate of a steam loco heading backwards with a Hattons P class in a camera bag, try desperately not to fall off nor touch the hot smokebox door? I bet I,m the only one.... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium phil-b259 Posted April 20, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 20, 2018 That Q looks lovely sitting in the sun! What's the wreath on the smokebox door for? I believe it was in memory of a long standing volunteer and seemingly semi permenant fixture at Sheffield Park who passed away recently.

47606odin Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 It appears I have chip issues Fitted my DCC concepts chip from my 03 and it runs perfectly Well, received my 2 today, bit of a mixed bag. Both are beautiful to look at, but currently running awful. When I fitted the Hattons 6 pin chip, the body was tight to pull down, no matter how I tried to wiggle them. And when I run them, they both stall on pretty much every set of points (electrofrog with switch feeds) I am quite disappointed Any suggestions? Originally they would work beautifully on 1m length of track using Bachmann EZ command digital controller, but jumped all over the place on my ECoS. Reset CV 29 from 6 to 2, so runs now on my ECoS but with the issues above Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davknigh Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Cheeky question, but if you're replacing the chassis, do you have plans for the old one? Actually I do. As I have running rights on a couple of 00 layouts I’m going to keep the old one and swap it in and out as gauge requires. I suppose this will make my engine a convertible.

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted April 20, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 20, 2018 My early crest black one came yesterday, as I've been being tight with the postage costs and having it sent along with the Barclay, but I haven't had time yet to open the box.

As I couldn't see anything lose in the box There should be a tap on the end of the left-hand side tank just by the cab door. There’s a hole on your model about half-way up where it goes. Perhaps Hatton’s knocked it off when opening it up and didn’t notice. There should be one on the other side too, so you know what you’re looking for.

Jack Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Am impressed by Hattons service with returns. There was a very swift turn around with the BR P which arrived with the quartering completely out. Its replacement arrived this morning and is now happily running in. In the end I removed the keeper plate from the Southern loco and it was very simple to put wipers where they should be. I've also chipped them up using Lenz Silver Mini chips, very straightforward Happy days. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenGiraffe22 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Got a disc on 1558 today for Brighton - Horsham running, they're far more fiddly and stressful to fit than Bachmann 's but I got it on there! The other 3 went on my Merchant Navy which in my world is being used for Brighton - Salisbury services. It took a LOT of patience and swearing to get them all in place properly, such a small surface area to glue together. Took an Ex SECR family portrait this evening, I would like to thank model railway companies for releasing them all with 1xxx numbers, now, who's gonna give us the D Class? 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
