159220 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 HSTs remaining with GW, as I understand it, are to be reformed as 2+5 for services between Plymouth and Cardiff after the 800s take over the Pads and these will presumably receive similar refits. John There are to be a total of 11 HST 'GTi' sets based at Laira, mainly for services between Penzance and Plymouth. The majority of Taunton and Cardiff services are to be made of Class 166s (having started in anger this Jan). Some GTis shall form the Penzance to Exeter St Davids or Cardiff and Taunton services. They are a 'stop' gap measure until sufficient class 158s are released from the Portsmouth and Cardiff services. Seeing they are receiving Vapor Rail sliding doors, Hornby do not have the tooling. But, Oxford Rail has hinted they would be tooling for all Mk3 variations Interiors shall be brought into line with GWR grey/green. Expect the first Mk3 with sliding doors to make an appearance 'in the coming weeks' out of Doncaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamDaniel Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) I'm a 'younger modeller' (22), but I buy and run what I like, so I have everything from a Mehano TGV to a Javelin, Eurostar and (full-length) HST to three A4s, Tornado, Clan Line, Exeter and a load more. Looking forward to seeing what comes out tomorrow - I've had a few steers, as I write for the Collector's Club mag - but it is always nice to see the reaction once embargos lift...

Given the permitted speeds in the Duchy and the differing acceleration characteristics of the two kinds of traction, GW could almost certainly run a faster service using the 166s or 158s down west. That would release HSTs for use on bits of line where they can stretch their legs more. John Edited January 7, 2018 by Dunsignalling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewCarty Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Was there ever an early emblem 28xx or 2884 which wasn't weathered? I have looked through my catalogues and on the web, and I can't find one! Surely a few more of each of these classes would be worthwhile, as there was only a few examples of each type to start with with, and non since!

There arent enough 165/166s being transferred to cover the routes around Bristol hence the retention of the 158s up there, so where do you get the 158s to run in Kernow? Given the choice GWR would rather use 158s on the service, in fact that was option 1 until the cascade went base over apex, all this information is freely available with a 10 second google search! Where do you intend to run the 2+4 (not 2+5) HST sets so they can stretch their legs, they are not allowed over part of the route to Portsmouth so dont bother mentioning that one! Havent we done all this several times previously? Edited January 7, 2018 by royaloak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the reports of build 'quality' are as bad as I am hearing it will be going straight back to Doncaster to be done properly, using a rubber gasket where a weld is specified is one example, yes I am being serious!

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 7, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Grrrrrrrrrrrr! Philistine. I quite like the 1134 class panniers with their bits whizzing around the outside frames. I suppose a 1901 class looks cute as it is a smaller loco. Then there are the 322's with their curved outside frames. The prettiest GWR 0-6-0 tank was the non condensing 633 class but they weren't pannier tanks.

That would release HSTs for use on bits of line where they can stretch their legs more. John Indeed, they do have their wings clipped. But a 2 + 4 formation is restricted to 100 mph - for the services they shall be on, this shall be more than satisfactory. (DfT has not allowed the leasing of an additional coach to make the 11 sets 2 + 5 and thus 125 mph). Remember from December 2018, Cornwall services between Plymouth and Penzance are going every half hour. Hence the need for the HST GTi's in the short term. The 165/166s heading west, are all required (18 diagrams) in the Bristol area. The 165/166s start to take over the 158s in May 2018 on the Portsmouth/Cardiff, but full change over not until electrification is complete in CP6. They are a stop gap measure until there are sufficient class 158s to run the services. (of course, stop gap now means at least till 2022) There is a list of the 43s staying, inc. all of those already painted into GWR. (and 43002). They certainly would make a good model, if Oxford and Hornby are now, indeed working in partnership. Edited January 7, 2018 by 159220 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 We all know this is the best looking pannier tank and a proper colour as well. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_05_2013/post-126-0-72043200-1367837320.jpg Hint, hint.
