Hunslet's BR D1/1 cab interior (11500/D2950)

[sir douglas]

I am currently scratch building this in O gauge using the Don Townsley drawing and would like to add some basic representation of the interior, was it the same as big sister class 05?

 

the only thing i can find on the D1/1 interior is the one below at Goole which conveniantly has the top half off , the controls looks similar with the joined levers up on the back of the bonnet and i can just see the knobs of the other controls sticking up from behind the cab side but there is an obvious difference with that big hand wheel behind the chair

example photo of an 05 for comparison, ive also looked at a cab ride video showing that there is a brake column at the back by the left hand door

The 0-4-0 is the same as the early version of the 05 (the big hand wheel is the brake) but the later 05 ( the Heljan one) are quite different.

I’ll put some drawings up for you tomorrow.

This is the cab layout drawing from our 05 kit, DY1 is very similar.

The New Zealand Dsa locos had very similar control arrangement, photos in the cab one of these below.

Details and instruments are obviously different for NZ but the basic control layout was much the same.

Would be an interesting model in that form.

thank you again Mr Edge, it was you that i got the Townsley drawing from to start it

Happy to help, I do have some 4mm test etches for the DY1 but it's a long way down the list and even further away for 7mm.
