00ERmissus Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Looking good..................and unless my eyes deceive me, that looks like a WuM Railbus loitering between the Baby and Lion too. Anyone have any close-ups of that for the Railbus thread? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdseyecircus Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Whilst it looks like a BD compared to the image of 5901 on wikipedia it is apparent that the small cab 'a ' window does not quite meet a point, the area under the cab door is a bit out and the circular gauge near the nose end could be larger. These apart and so long as their is no repeat of the clayton motor issue it will do for me. Just a note that the Heljan 15 is my best runner on circle st!!

BrushVeteran Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Just bear in mind that the images are of 'pre-production' livery samples that were sent for approval and subsequently rejected. The final samples have not yet arrived for approval. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final samples have not yet arrived for approval. I figured that was a reject because of the print. The silver kick plate under the cab doors looks a bit shallow, as does the light green area.

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Just bear in mind that the images are of 'pre-production' livery samples that were sent for approval and subsequently rejected... They can reject it in my direction any time! Much better than I could build for myself, and has all the character of the pretty little original. Such a shame that the prototype's mechanical gubbins inside let it down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigherb Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 looks like June is going to be an expensive month with the Metrovick due then as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 And some more news just in; Merseyside merchants of marvellous modelling magic Hattons; have just emailed me to announce the official start of the Heljan dainty deltic mini-me's tour of the UK with the first gig in Liverpool Smithdown Road Palladium on Wednesday, June the first.

BrushVeteran Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Not wanting to put too much of a damper on things folks but the final livery application still has not been approved for production. There have been some issues and in an endeavour to get it as near perfect as possible it has been neccessary to reject the latest samples of this week. However things are getting better and hopefully the next samples received will be good enough to allow production to commence. There has been some fairly strict quality control concerning this model which hopefully will reflect on the finished product when finally released soon. Patience is a virtue! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted April 21, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 21, 2011 Excellent post Brush Veteran. Its good to hear that the right care and steps are being taken. I'm sure people wouldn't mind waiting a bit longer for a correct model than rushing out an incorrect one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Deltic Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 D5908 works a GN suburban through Harford Street at the Leytonstone Show. Thanks to Brush Veteran for bringing along a pre-production model for the show. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluex5 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Looks good. Only thing I can point out is that the axle boxes don't seem to line up with the wheel centres? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrushVeteran Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Looks good. Only thing I can point out is that the axle boxes don't seem to line up with the wheel centres? Hi bluex5 I think the camera sometimes creates that illusion that things don't quite line up. I've taken a few more shots and got as close as my camera can manage and I don't think that there is a problem with alignment. Looking at the Bachmann Class 20, which shares the same type of bogie design, there appears to be no fault with either model and I suggest that sometimes the angle from which you view creates this misalignment illusion. There is also some fair axle play in both models which obviously helps steer the models around the track. Both models match up identically with wheel spacing and bogie frame length which scale down exactly from the prototype. Hopefully this puts your mind at rest? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike knowles Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The bogie side frames on the BD look excellent. I've always thought the ones on the Bachmann 20 were rather poor. So, will the 20 body fit the BD chassis? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should also mention that this version of the class 23 has been modelled without sandboxes on the bogies as these were mostly removed soon after refurbishment.

bluex5 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Thanks Brushveteran, from the other views you were kind enough to post I'm happy it's just a quirk of the angle your initial shot was taken from, as it looks fine otherwise. Can't wait to see the GSYP version, IMHO that paintscheme flatters the bodyshape much better than full yellow ends (although I can't see anything glaringly wrong with the body shape).
