37081LochLong Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I don't like the LMS liveried 50017 but I'm sure as an exclusive in a maroon and gold box it will sell like the much derided purple Deltic (but please please please do 55016 in blue in the 3rd run (or even green) don't give it a third purple release) it's not for me but I'm sure the fans will come crawling out if you did it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

50025 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) I’d love models of the last 50s I saw in active service at St. Davids: D400 50003, 50029 and 50033 revised NSE 50031 Large logo One of my retirement pipe dreams (5 years, 9 months and 28 days- not that I’m counting) is to make a model of St Davids shed on that day when I saw the 50s for the last time. I very nearly bought the Hornby version of 033, glad I held off. I thought 50017 looked awful. I used to see her at Tyseley. However, put me down for one! 🤣 Edited April 3 by 50025 More info 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No cantrail in original operations so could suit 80s and early 90s modellers (maybe with an optional nse decal for the headboard, or just as easily removed with thinners). Having the emblem too makes it a cut above a 'vanilla' 50 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted April 3 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3 (edited) I’ll probably be in a very small minority in this one but… 50033 as it was at the end of the SVR 50’s at 60 gala in 2018… with all the marker pen comments as donated by passengers on it. sorry @bucoops i saw you posted it.

RMweb Premium nightstar.train Posted April 3 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 3 3 hours ago, rob D2 said: Do they ? Anecdotal .. I’m just going by the purple deltic. It is much hated and there are many many negative comments about it over on the deltic thread. However it sold out very fast and sold so well it’s the only loco that Accurascale have (so far) ever made an exact re-release of. I get a similar feeling for the sentiment around 50017. It’s a marmite loco, strong feelings either for or against, not so much in the middle ground. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

97403_Ixion Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I'd love to see 50017 in LMS Coronation - after all, it really did happen! Others oddballs of interest, in order of preference: 50032 'Courageous' in NSE with dark blue nameplate 50044 (D444) 'Exeter' in two tone green, with black side lamp surround 50037 'Illustrious' in Departmental Blue (to complement 50019 and 50008) 50135 (50035) 'Ark Royal' in Load Haul Not so sure of the Intercity 50 but it might be rude not to... 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajax50046 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I would absolutely get 50017 in LMS colours…I still recall my shock at seeing it on the cover of Railway Magazine as a 14yr old 😄. I liked it a lot. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devonian Ditherer Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Hi all, first post here....... I'm hoping for the revised darker NSE livery, and if I'm allowed to be really picky, one with the 'West of England' logo next to the 'Network SouthEast' which was carried by the likes (if memory serves) of 50002, 5, 9, 17, 24, 29, 45, 48 and maybe a few others- can't remember if 37 or 43 also carried it although they were in the darker blue (of course 27 and 35 were also in the darker blue but they didn't carry it) As a 10 year old back in the second half of 1990 and into 1991 I spent a lot of time at Exeter St Davids watching them- my parents had moved into a house along Bonhay Road right next to the bank up to Exeter Central so they could be heard at their best, and back then the bank was clear enough of vegetation to be able to see the train- no chance of that now! The darker revised NSE 50's were my favourite so that's what I'm hoping for, I know that Hornby did cover this livery but unfortunately they got the size of the bodyside number wrong, it was oversized and therefore put me off buying one- I'm sure that Accurascale will have it spot on!

Devonian Ditherer Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 6 hours ago, Iron Horse said: Thanks Flood..........Reso, Light revised with ploughs please from those final months, she was a monster 😎 Resolution was always recognisable from other similar liveried 50's due to (for some reason) the bodyside number being applied higher up the body compared to all of the others. Pretty sure as a pre-teenager I got haulage behind it up the bank from Exeter St Davids to Central, I only wish that I'd been able to record/ photograph the experience with a modern phone, unfortunately it only exists as a memory- although luckily there are good videos of it on the likes of YouTube which capture the essence.
