vac_basher Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 And does anyone know who makes etched brass snow ploughs to fit the 50's? I think PHD Designs do Hey all. Can anyone tell me, the model of Hood, did it come with a certificate? 50031 did not come with a certifficate. Nor did the weathered version of 50007. The only Class 50 to come with a certifficate was 50149. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gribble Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I think PHD Designs do 50031 did not come with a certifficate. Nor did the weathered version of 50007. The only Class 50 to come with a certifficate was 50149. Not strictly true. The weathered version of 50007 (R2499) did come with a certificate if you bought it from Hornby and not Rails of Sheffield. In an unusual twist the name of the original buyer was printed on the certificate so I expect a lot of people bin these when selling them on? *gribble* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted March 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 3, 2014 Hi all, Thought I might add a few pics of 50's, mainly just repaints/renumberings of standard Hornby models. Cheers, Phil. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted March 8, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 8, 2014 Does anyone else have trouble with droopy couplings? My Ark Royal fails to couple properly sometimes, resulting in derailments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted February 20, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2015 How am I supposed to model the whole class if I start to sell them ??!! Cheers, Phil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Phil. produce two of each 1 for me.. 1 for you.... 1 for me... 1 for you On a serious note tho.... if you change your mind... im still interested Edited February 19, 2016 by dugdug03 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted February 19, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 19, 2016 Can't see me selling any, I've cleared a shelf long enough to hold the whole class. Only 9 gaps left to fill on the shelf, and I've already got 5 of the base models for those ! cheers, Phil. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I used to watch the 50s a lot as I lived near the Maidenhead / reading area. 1984 - 12 years old, magic ! I was never convinced by the Hornby version - I think it was the lack of effective weathering on mine. Phil - you've nailed it though, just like i remember !

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted February 20, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2016 Thanks rob D2, The 'patches' on the model of 011 stand out more in the pics than they do in the flesh, it's only matt varnish, sprayed on, until it starts to go opaque.

rob D2 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Looks nice either way. We were always disappointed when the lights of an HST came round the corner from taplow - 50s were next most numerous.starngely the times I was there never really saw many 47s and hardly any 31s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiket4 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I used to go to Gerrards Cross in the late 80's to see the evening express come through which was normally a class 50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to get it re-named and numbered but not 100% which other 50 carried that livery, domino and tail lights in unfurnished condition.. I also have a 50002 which i had renamed and numbered to 50030 only to relies it never appeared in this livery. I need to also find out which class members carried the NSE revised livery with the west of England badge, if anyone could help, that would be great!

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted February 22, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2016 IIRC 50030 appeared in the revised NSE style livery, but with the original pale blue colour. It did get some patch painting around the cabs with the darker blue though. Try 'class50.com' and go through the galleries section.

Assuming you mean refurbished but with BR blue livery, you have a few to choose from including 50006/17/47 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that at first too, but then realized that would cover all fifty 50s, except 50007 and 50035 which had a spotlight arrangement in the headcode panel at one end only, so assumed he was asking something else! 50007: http://www.hondawanderer.com/50007_Oxford_1982.htm 50035: https://www.flickr.com/photos/24555083@N08/3040664047 Edited February 23, 2016 by brushman47544 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted February 23, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hornby have never produced a model of a refurbished but plain blue 50. All the plain blue models, either named or not are of un-refurbished examples. Cheers, Phil. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classsix T Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Indeed Phil, the first six 50s out of refurbishment at The Plant were shod in plain blue (19 was another) and the only way to do one of these is strip/repaint a later liveried model. A bodyshell of which I have ready stripped awaiting paint. C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The six 50s that were refurbished in BR blue were in order, 50006, 50017, 50019, 50001, 50047, 50013, then the first into LL blue 50023. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted February 24, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 24, 2016 Brushman is indeed right with the list. Here's my 50001, a repaint from a revised NSE Achilles. Cheers, Phil. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classsix T Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Modelling the Peterborough area (May 1980 datewise) as I do, I'd have been hard pressed to justify a 50 on the layout but have a fondness for the prototype and the Hornby effort was a must have. Hence a check of the 50 refurb shopping dates in "BR Operations in the 80s" (Colin Marsden, OPC) resulted in a viciously weathered Anson and what will become Swiftsure in an ex-works condition, both either en-route to or out on test from Doncaster. Rule One applies, but I still have to convince myself of a plausible reason! C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
