37079 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Does anyone happen to know (or have any suggestions how I might find out) which 28xx still had inside steam pipes in the early BR era? I found a list (on RMWeb) of those that never received outside pipes, but i believe some may have been converted post 1948. I am especially interested in when 2811 and 2827 received them as they are the numbers I happen to have in stock already! I have found pics of both with outside pipes in the BR era so I know both were converted...but not when. Thanks in anticipation, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in anticipation, Mike According to the RCTS "bible", 2811 got outside steam pipes in 2/43 and 2827 in 12/52. Others that were converted in the BR era were: 2801 6/54 2804 10/50 2822 3/48 2826 6/50 2838 3/51 2840 11/48 2846 3/53 2856 5/51 2857 8/48 2859 6/52 2860 1/51 2861 3/52 2864 8/50 2865 10/48 2866 8/49 2867 3/50 2869 11/53 2870 2/49 2875 5/58 2876 6/59 2878 5/51 2882 12/50 Others were converted in GWR days but no dates are given for 2805 2815 2818 2825 2863 2868 2871-2874 2877 2879-2881 and 2883 which suggests they retained inside pipes until withdrawal. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted December 10, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 10, 2023 The change from inside pipes to outside pipes would only happen if there was a cylinder change. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike You’re in luck: The RCTS locomotives of the GWR volumes have recently become available as print on demand in three parts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
