DavidM Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) The stock photo on the Hattons website shows the lack of headcodes, and it's entirely authentic - there's a great photo on Flickr of D9526 at Westbury in 1977 (that unfortunately I can't link to properly as I'm on my phone!) showing the removed headcodes. Edit - hope this works.... https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/masonphenix19/8072413898/in/search_QM_q_IS_d9526+blue+circle_AND_mt_IS_all_AND_w_IS_all Edited July 27, 2014 by DavidM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rail-Online Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Some of the NCB ones had their Yellow and Black striped re-painted over the headcode box. This too looked strange Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Flashheart Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Are there any plans for a version of preserved D9537 in desert sand livery.....?All ready done, well 1 anyway. At the recent 14s@50 event at the ELR Hatton's had a stand there selling class 14s and had a specially done D9537 in desert sand to win in a raffle prize. There was only 1 done so someone out there has a unique model and unfortunately it isn't me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRman Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Back to the decoder fitting issues: I received my weathered example last week and after running in on DC on the rolling road, tried to fit a decoder. I thought the Hattons small decoder would do the job but it was just too tight a fit - as per ColinK's warning earlier, don't let the decoder touch anything metal. Mine did with the squeeze when I put the body back on, so went pffft! I could try another with extra insulation around it but it was still a rather tight fit, so I think I'll have to order one of the DCC Concepts ones recommended.

RMweb Premium 47137 Posted August 25, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 25, 2014 Is the D9539 'all over green' one a BR livery or 'as preserved'? Tony It would be difficult to answer this question without first-hand knowledge of every locomotive. Possibly neither. A search on Google suggests D9500 entered service with wasp stripes on the bonnet, and the NCB painted these out on this particular loco in favour of stripes on the buffer beams. I think you have got to either pick a real locomotive and model it as it was at a specific time; or do what you like and accept that one day someone will tell you it is "wrong". There is a nice artists impression of an all-black one here: http://andrewbriddonlocos.co.uk/abl2/locos/br-class-14-d9500-s/122-br-swindon-class-14-d9500.html You could force the issue one way by adding a nameplate to be sure the model is in a fictional condition (perhaps 'freelance condition' is better). I'm very happy with my Loadhaul one, and it was popular enough to sell out at Hattons. - Richard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted August 25, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 25, 2014 Not sure that these locos ever ran on BR in any livery other than two tone green with wasp stripes - but stand to be proven wrong! Allegedly D9502 still carries the original Swindon paint. http://preserved-diesels.co.uk/2004/9502_2.htm Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandtraction Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) I agree that there's potential for further liveries on the Class 14, although whether these would sell well? I did contact a well known shop in Sheffield which specialises in DCC. On their site is a customer commissioned 14 in EWS livery, against which it quoted about £200 for supply of the model resprayed.I followed this up with an enquiry re D9523 in maroon to be told £200 for supply of model and respray + £30 for the number etches. I'm guessing D9537 in sand would be about the same plus BR cast lion and wheel etches (£6 pair from Extreme Etches). Am not arguing with the price, its just more than I can afford, and they won't respray a customers model. It has to be bought from them too, at prices I noted somewhat above most other sources.Beggars can't be choosers so am in the market for a decent secondhand pristine one, and will take my chances with the desert sand (I've settled on D9537s livery), a lining pen for the fiddly bits, and a ton of patience. Finding a pristine one is the problem. Weathered are still available at £75 from Hattons, but a nice new paint job with dirty windows??KeithJust chanced upon a thread elsewhere concerning said business, in which widely conflicting opinions are expressed concerning pricing and quality of workmanship. At least am not alone in thinking them expensive. Edited December 14, 2014 by islandtraction Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessy1692 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Morning all, our 14 went up in a puff of smoke last night, dead as a door nail now, anybody re motored theirs and if so what motor did you use? Smells like circuitry has gone too so will have to hard wire, any advice greatly received! Cheers James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I thought a preserved one in blue livery was used on the construction of the channel tunnel (or rail link to it). I think one of the two used on the construction of CTRL Section 1 had been repainted into blue and given a TOPS number. Despite having been brought up in one of their old stomping grounds during the time they were 'active', I had to wait until the construction of Section 1 to see one moving..I remember a row of them stored at Landore, where the order changed every few weeks, but I never saw one move.

Yup - there was an awesome youtube clip of it on Youtube but cant find it now But to be pedantic does CTRL/HS1 count as BR?

RMweb Premium 47137 Posted February 19, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 19, 2015 in preservation class 14's have been quite colourful and a popular choice for "having fun" fictional liveries.. Including sand, maroon, blue, green (with cab side), load haul etc as well as fictional numbers. Hang on. Do we have any evidence of these liveries? If a locomotive carried such a livery, it would be prototypical, not fictional. - Richard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Saunders Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 One of the CTRL pair was also used for a time on the Chatham Dockyard branch, which presumably does count as BR. No! It would count as industrial use/hire! Mark Saunder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Flashheart Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 D9513 isn't fictional as its in NCB blue which is different to BR blue, D9521 was numbered 14021 not 14901 when in Rail freight livery, D9524 has also worn BR blue while numbered 14901 and 14701 in Load Haul has ( thankfully!) only existed in model form as a special limited edition from Hattons.

Highlights: <cut> Thanks for the link and the list. I think the maroon with small yellow panels is my favourite. The loco carries off the colours of the Railfreight scheme well, but to my eyes it would be better without the logo. - Richard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
