50025 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I’ve got 2 on order but so tempted with 50017. I remember seeing her go past me at Saltley in that livery thinking ‘what the hell’. Was the first NSE I saw, a bit of a shock after large logo! Are there any plans for other suprised in this batch? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southernman46 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) of course - that terrible raised roof panel (I'm sure it's there somewhere) - I was forgetting 🤣 Just couldn't resist ordering "Neptune" after seeing the PP sample Edited February 28 by Southernman46 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Accurascale to think the production versions will be even better !!!! The challenge is to make them "hoover" !!!

Me and my mates called them "DP2s" to differentiate them from the other EE Type 4s that had been knocking around for years. Then when I was doing my BR training at Kingmoor the staff called them "bleeps" because of the unique sound of the DSD. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know that as well. I've ordered D423 as this is the livery and numbering I remember on the 50s, but MU cables were fitted as they ran in multiple on the WCML.

BrakeCoach Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 The Class 50 looks too "naked" without those front MU cables. I guess I'm too accustomed with the revised look. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they looked much more elegant with the clean front as built. Both styles are historically accurate Or there's this livery, found on Fickr 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there was a Class 50 but a HST makes an appearance in one of the later books. I seem to remember Christopher Audrey kept writing them into the 1990s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredo Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Hi, thanks MCC, I am planning to pre order D423 and renumber it is D403 as I am trying to create a scene when D403 was the trading loco at Lostock Hall in early 1968. Fred Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
