I confirmed it here: On 17/02/2024 at 21:04, RapidoCorbs said: Yes that's correct, Mr. Jones didn't seem to go in for branding (no bufferbeam numbers and no H.R on the tender). Drummond took over in 1896 and the elaborate white-black-white lining was applied until 1902 when the HR seemed to run out of money for paint and seemingly everything was painted plain green. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium RapidoCorbs Posted February 20 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20 Here is 103 (the preserved one) in Jones green showing the bufferbeam. The Am Baile site is a fantastic resource for Scottish railways. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drt7uk Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Hi @RapidoCorbs - you'd previously indicated that you might include the front footplates as an optional accessory, is that still on the cards? thank you 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so yes the intention is to have these in the polybag. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The order book has closed but if anyone still has pre-ordering open on their shop then you should still be able to place one - we still have 'extras' available direct too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR suburbans, aren't they? With M prefix. I thought they were an Accurascale thing? Bachmann have done them too but these don't have the over-prominent roof ribs of those. Might be kits of course - there was or is a firm that did these in plastic but I've forgotten the name. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewartingram Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I did at least expect those cows to run away from the lineside in the opening shot!

A correct scale Avro Triplane IV complete with Sir Percy Ware-Armitage figure would be a nice addition 😉 AFAIK a 1/72 Triplane kit was done many years ago, but they're like hens teeth now. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammy2305 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I hadn't realised, until seeing the photo of the painted samples from the rear doing the rounds on social media, that the rear bufferbeams of the Jones and Drummond examples were green and lined as if they were panels on the body proper (I did check the literature and there is a lovely painting by Arthur Wolstenholme that shows this on the Jones livery). - James 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Kits. ISTR at the time they were the only manufacturer that made the full set. Both Bachmann and Comet had missing vehicles. Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
