sem34090 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 How much different is a T1 from an O2? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Annie Posted March 19, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 19, 2018 Ooooooo a 'T1'. Nice. It's plainly enough from the same family as the 'G6' so I would guess that the differences would be slight. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 I know they're very similar, but if a T1 is virtually the same as a G6, then what's an O2?! If a T1 and an O2 can both be done using a G6, then what's the difference? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwardian Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 How much different is a T1 from an O2? Ooooooo a 'T1'. Nice. It's plainly enough from the same family as the 'G6' so I would guess that the differences would be slight. T1, the first Adams 0-4-4T for the South Western. His thinking was that it was not possible to produce a larger, more powerful version of the 415 Class radial 4-4-2T without causing unsteadiness at speed, so the 0-4-4 T1 was the next generation of suburban tanks. Deliveries commenced in 1888 and a total of 50 were built through to 1896, the last few, thus, under Drummond. Coupled wheels: 5'7" Bogie wheels: 3' W/B: 8' + 10' + 5' Like the Radials before them, they tended to migrate to the Sticks when more powerful types emerged, in the case of the T1 this being Drummond's M7 (of 1897), so the Edwardian period sees them at various depots, Nine Elms, Strawberry Hill, Basingstoke, Guildford, Eastleigh, Bournemouth, Salisbury, Exmouth Junction, Plymouth and Fratton. My particular interest is the fact that there were a stalwart of the Barnstaple-Ilfracombe line. O2s followed in 1889, designed as a smaller version, specifically for light suburban and branch line operation. Coupled wheels: 4'10" Bogie wheels: 3' W/B: 6'10" + 8'6" + 5' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Well, the 5' 2'' of the 1400 is permissible for either, given the model was intended as a G6. They are slightly closer to the O2 though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike2steam Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) A small kit making company called 'Craftsman', that has changed ownership a few times, used to make a kit for the T1, and pretty good it was too, I used to have one before I changed from Southern. The only thing against it being the full size version went into oblivion by 1951, so demand for another could be a bit limited.

Your nearest RTR chasses (to a T1) would be an M7, as these had 5'7" drivers at 7'6" centres, or a Radial, with 5'7" drivers at 8'6" centres. Either way, you're 2mms out on the w/b. The 4800/14XX had 5'2" drivers, as you say, though at 7'4" centres. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 The 14xx (It came from a BR example) is all I have spare currently, so it'll have to do. The BR Body now has an Airfix chassis in place of the Dapol one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedGemAlchemist Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Sorry, fell behind a little. Thanks, crummy work internet! I could have sworn I'd put 'models railways' in my CV, but apparently not... Ah, that's why. I forgot to put 'railways' after the term. Whoops. To be fair I did the same thing. Besides, I can't imagine 'Models Railways' being particularly appealing to those in literature circles... Speaking as someone with an A-Level in English Literature and a healthy love of the works of such luminaries as Dickens, Tolkien, Clarke, Wells and Orwell, I can easily disprove that. Also every time I see your username I want to call you "Semprini". Hopefully some of you will understand what I'm thinking of with that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGemAlchemist Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) I'm studying literature at university and almost decided to plan my dissertation for next year around the Railway Series, but decided against it; I may come back to the idea in due course. I find Dickens terribly dry, though his works lend themselves well to close textual analysis and adaptations, I didn't get on with Tolkien when I first tried to read his books but I'll come back to them at some point and give them another go (I found him too twee), Wells and Orwell I rather like, can't say I've read any of Clarke's works. I much prefer du Maurier, the Brontes, Austen, Hawthorne and Fitzgerald, among many others. But that's what is so enjoyable about literature, surely; its versatility and the capacity for different interpretations and receptions of texts. I know categorically, for instance, I am not a fan of Blyton or Louis Stephenson due to the language choices and the style of narrative; it just doesn't work for me. Fair enough. Excellent choices nonetheless. Personally, I like Stephenson but not Blyton so much. Fitzgerald meh, more a Hemingway guy. Never really read any du Maurier. And I adore Jane Eyre, it's actually one of my favourite novels (my favourite actually being The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, in case anyone's wondering. They probably aren't.) Also go for it. The Railway Series is actually far deeper from an analytical perspective than most think. And Simprini; is someone a fan of Monty Python? I've never seen it myself, to memory, but I'll get around to watching it at some point! Got it in one! It comes recommended; personally I love Python.

Ekki viss um hvaða tungumál það er, en google segir mér að það sé íslenskt. Ég geri ráð fyrir að það þýðir að ég sé vanhæfur? Eða fæ ég aukalega stig fyrir að hafa truflað svar á íslensku? Hins vegar er það allt í London, Chatham og Dover, en að minnsta kosti er það ekki Suður-Austurlöndum. Engu að síður fæ ég fyndið einkunn fyrir að reyna að skrifa um fyrirframgreiðslu járnbrautir á íslensku? Eða hef ég tekið brandara of langt?
