JSpencer Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Surprisingly with KR doing fictive locos, they have not chosen other numbers in the class. 5 were under construction and 36002 nearly got a chance to have a puff outdoors! I think I could be tempted by 36002 in BR early black at some point.... 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the image quality - a bit of a smash'n'grab at the end of the show. Starting to look the part. Is that real coal in the bunker ? If it is easy to remove it can easily be crushed and refitted. That's assuming that they do not provide finer coal to the production models. Certainly a chunky beast.

No Decorum Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) Earlier pictures show that the bunker under the coal is very shallow. It would have helped if it had been deeper but perhaps the gear tower doesn’t permit that. Still, there should be enough space to add real coal in 1:76 rather than the 1:1 supplied. The finish looks closer to the proper grey than the earlier silver samples, which is good.

In the model railway world I wouldn't give much for the chances of a bridge made out of cardboard but the interface with a resin one could get very interesting. 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too saw the model at GETS and the ridiculous 'coal' load is the first thing you see when looking at the model. I was told that it will arrive in December, but then last year at Warley I was told July. I would rather have it next July if it means getting rid of the moulded plastic 'unremovable' coal. all the best Godfrey hanging on in hope that it will be 'right' when it eventually arrives! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the ‘unremovable’ comment was a joke. In Jenny’s preview of this exact model, the coal fell out of the bunker more than once when the body was inverted, so I don’t think there is much to worry about on that score Edited October 18, 2023 by Edge 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
