Porcy Mane Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I forgot to say: Besides looking like French Adrian Helmet it also has the look of a Chivers Type 50 boiler steam collector cover. (Dome) Another Q6? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted July 5, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 5, 2016 I forgot to say: Besides looking like French Adrian Helmet it also has the look of a Chivers Type 50 boiler steam collector cover. (Dome) Another Q6? Yes, although I think it's an Alexander one, spare from 63340. Lots of little jobs to do but it will be 3443 - yes the same loco as it was at Newport shed in 1947. Dome and cased safety valves trial fitted. Hole in the boiler filled with plasticard and superglue, boiler top ridge and smokebox number removed. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porcy Mane Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Hold on. Am i missing something? Wasn't the boiler band spacing slightly different on the type 50 boiler? (Shuffles off to start studying photographs) P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted July 6, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 6, 2016 Well they're staying as they are, I'm happy enough with it as is, I don't think they're too far out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micklner Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 The front Numberplate, it it a easy removal please ?. I presume top of Boiler should be smooth on both types ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted July 6, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 6, 2016 The number plate was cut off bit by bit with a new No 20 blade. The boiler top joint was discussed on the Q6 thread and it was decided,I think, they never had it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted July 9, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 9, 2016 Back to the class Q, quite a bit of progress, the tender body is finished, brakes to add and the loco is getting close, I had fitted the lamp brackets but they were so weak they broke off with the slightest touch. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted July 10, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 10, 2016 Not much more to do now, the last of the bits are now attached, next job is to study photos to see where and how lubricators are fitted. Every available space at the rear of the loco has been filled with lead, including under the cab roof. Luckily the motor sits quite low so there's a bit of room above for lead. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted July 11, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 11, 2016 Lubricators fitted, all there is to do now is two sandbox lids, loco/tender drawbar and the dreaded brakes. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ArthurK Posted July 12, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 12, 2016 Fantastic work again Paul but is that really the tender for that loco? ;-p Yes! These locos were paired with the NER standard 3940 gallon tenders. The two that lasted into BR (only just) ended there days with the smaller 3038 gallon tenders.

RMweb Premium ArthurK Posted July 14, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 14, 2016 To what? The Clerestory roof was removed and replaced by a convention roof as on their counterparts the D17/1 (NER M class). The preserved loco 1621 was D17/1. I saw both of the remaining pair of D17/2 at York around 1947/8. Both had been renumbered to 2111 & 2112. Class Q1 (LNER D18) had a similar clerestory roof but they were both withdrawn in 1930.

ArthurK Thank you for clarification of the factual matter, although I think perhaps that in hindsight my attempt to make a comic "point" in the original question was too subtle. Maybe I should just have appealed for an extra "o" to complete the preceding post? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
