RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 30, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 30, 2009 Interesting - 4 wheels and Southern not interested. So what didn't the Southern have that everyone else did have? Well they did have collieries and freight traffic so that sort of knocks out anything in that line. However the one thing which comes to mind is water troughs, but they don't have wheels. However sludge tenders working from the water softeners at some water troughs did have wheels and could be redundant tenders with the middle wheelset removed and they were painted black.......hmmm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

60B Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I'm guessing NPCCS. Maybe something like: http://www.semgonline.com/vandw/4wpassbrakes.html or a B4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 30, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 30, 2009 Can see we are all well of the sent! Until we look at something you posted elsewhere - 'cos I don't think the Southern had one of those either - and add 2+2 and probably get 42 and can't remember what the question was Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRat Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Like I said, think you are all off the Sent! Not long to wait, but I'll def have one! Whatever it is or isnt! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim49 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 For what it's worth, my guess is either a railbus or a Wickham trolley. Jim49 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernman46 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Blue Pullman ???? Only joking !!! As a southern modeller - I've been racking my brains as to what ran elsewhere not on "our" bit, had 4 wheels and that was black. Since just about every black 4-wheeled wagon / NPCCS item could have run regularly on the Southern at some time then I have to say "Railbus" too or perhaps some obscure small steam loco (Pug ?) / diesel shunter (possibly a class 02 / 06 ??) Personally I'm hoping (in vain) that it's a 4 wheeled ballast hopper such as a Catfish / Mackerel etc which were never seen on the Southern (Dogfish - yes but not the others) What ever it is - there will be somebody out there who will notice that the 3rd upright on the the 5th vertical rib has been modelled a scale 2mm too wide - see the Dapol MBA/MCA thread - just had a rant about detractors there !

S.A.C Martin Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Definitely FOUR wheels. CHRIS LEIGH Definitely four wheels? ...maybe less likely a locomotive then. Something the Southern wouldn't be interested in? Sounds like a wagon to me, or a type of four wheeled coach. Clueless on this one! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
industrial Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 What about on this forum under, Gwr Sentinel Shunters as the SR was the only one not to have one of these. :icon_what: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im still learning railway history and infrastructure but could I summise from your linguistic pun that its anything to do with mail.... or is it male we could go on for ages ... or akin to my avatar ?

RMweb Gold Taz Posted November 2, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2009 Well, my subs copy has just fallen on the doormat and BlackRat was spot on Another Dapol commission. Laser scanning of the prototype has already taken place. Well done MR for introducing something different Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
60B Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 At this rate, Dapol are going to have to hire more ataff for these commisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigwelsh Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 At this rate, Dapol are going to have to hire more ataff for these commissions. Or finish some of those already on the go... I'm assuming its a diesel shunter common to industry from the hint. What kind of Colliery is being modelled in this issue, Yorkshire or something? Does it use Skaledale/Scenecraft in the same way as Hornby mag's recent one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Hat Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Just opened my subscription here today and the answer is a 0-4-0 sentinal shunter... am happy here as Id love to see No. 54 being a former Darlington machine and its the preserved example which would be better for my line that runs today. Now just need that aforementioned Q6 to take the train that the Sentinal has shunted away! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted November 2, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2009 Am I missing something but there seems to be remarkably little interest being shown in 'Model Rail's great leap into the unknown? Pleas for industrial locos on here one minute and yet when one arrives (sorry, is promised) very few folk seem to have even noticed let alone said thank you A very bold step and one I hope will succeed although the range of livery choice being offered in the poll in the mag seems bewildering - surely 'black, undecorated' would be a good one with a range of transfers on offer? And I like the idea of suggesting other livery variants although I don't think, regrettably, that 'Singapore Waterworks' would be a very commercial choice despite the fact that on a pic I have it looks quite attractive in photographic grey. All I have to do is find the right excuse to have one in South Wales (not too difficult I'm sure) or go in for a hyper period precise model of the Malmesbury branch, but I certainly want one B) PS Thank you 'Model Rail' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleas for industrial locos on here one minute and yet when one arrives (sorry, is promised) very few folk seem to have even noticed let alone said thank you I think its a case of waiting to pass judgement till people see something more than pixels or to see said pixels in the magazine. Plus plenty of people are hard at work (or hardly working ). This is a great announcement and hopefully opens the door for RTR industrial locos.

Arthur Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 And the announcement/discussion is a bit lost in this thread, 'Model Rail October 2009'. ? Perhaps a 'RTR Industrial Loco Announced' thread topic might raise the temperature. I have to say that as, over the years, more and more of those locomotives which I built as kits have now become available RTR ? I never imagined my humble Nu Cast Sentinel would be joining them.
