Denny Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) I must admit, I'm really quite excited about these. It's been difficult to choose which one to pre-order. I've gone with 005. I think I'd also like 004 if it's announced but then I'd have two celebs (are they celebs?) and no bog standard one!

I don’t think there will be a bog standard one – won’t they all have different liveries? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the livery carried by 69003 can be considered the "standard" one for this small and varied fleet: It's the same livery as applied to 69006 and 008 (just waiting to see now what colours 69009 and 010 appear in).

Perhaps. It’s the livery which attracts me for that reason but I’ve always fancied the “tunnel” livery, with the blue/red half- circles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially a model manufacturer's minefield where the differences are comparatively minor. Edited February 8 by Cruachan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially a model manufacturer's minefield where the differences are comparatively minor. Not just liveries. The cab profiles vary according to the batch that the donor comes from. Just compare the ledge under the front cab windows of 001 with 002 for starters. 001 is gently curved/ridged, 002 is flat and angular. Cab door handrails can also vary. Some are round, some are flat. 69004 has both! Edited February 8 by newbryford 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the auto-uncoupler is part of the tension lock coupling and has a easy to disconnect electrical connection (i would guess something think most Hornby steam locos) Edited February 10 by Bryn_Bach_Railway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted February 11 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11 The auto uncoupler is discussed in some depth in the Class 30/31 thread, but you can see the difference between the standard and auto uncoupler versions in the unpainted images above - the Romanian built loco on the left has the standard version whereas the other two have the auto uncoupler identifiable by the bronze coloured metal. As to the model, to me the later cab front with the flat shelf looks better than the curved versions on which the outer ends seem to drop too low. But it may be an illusion and I really need to see a painted version to judge properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Meerkat Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 thank you for the information im getting a better understanding, just one more question, i get loco has auto uncoupler, bit would you need another uncoupler nem for example for the Dapol IOA network rail wagons so it unhooks both hooks from loco and wagon?

You need to watch the Bachmann video of the class 30/31 uncoupler in action. Edited February 11 by Covkid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
