Oldfield_Park Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hello all. I'm not a Scottish area modeller, but I happened to stumble across this image a while ago. I may be wrong, but I sense it's incredibly late for the connecting doors to be in use within any class - let alone the Class 21s. http://www.railphotoprints.co.uk/index/detail/3671/D6141-D6156-CoveBay-1065-RPCBR105.jpg.html Thought it might be of interest given the impending Dapol release.

'CHARD Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 We'll get ye tattooed with a Saltire yet, laddie - coming out with 61A FILTH of that nature. Brilliant spot, and possibly the first time I've seen Sad Eyes with umbilical cord deployed. My mate lives in Cove, I'll tell him to keep an eye open tomorrow when he pilots yet another Turbostar through that very locus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Well the date's probably right, as they're pulling one of the APCM bagged cement vans which were only built from 1964. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennine MC Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Somebody linked to that shot in the actual Products thread, but it is a cracker, well worth another look. Also found today, courtesy of Jim G on Western Thunder (shot #9, if the link doesnt go straight to it): http://railway-photography.smugmug.com/Class21-28/Class-21/16807182_rrTm86#1423536430_gtXRLmp A few nice diesel shots on there, but you gotta love that train formation with the four BGs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldfield_Park Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 I think there was a shot in BrushVeterans album which showed two 21s at Queen Street in the earlier 1960s with their connections deployed as well. Worth a look if it can be found. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andytrains Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 According to Dapols website it's a class 22, Diesel Hydraulic for the Western region that they are doing. Cannot find any reference to a class 21 (or 29). Thank you as I am in the middle stages of detailing an Hornby Class 21, with a lot of alteration. Lots of problems with it and it will only be accurate from one side as it appears that the sides are the same for both so the detailing on one is the wrong way round. Will soldier on regardless. I suspect that when I am finished that somebody will release an accurate model of the class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pennine MC Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmc1947/5863815597/in/set-72157626906365181 From the same collection that Chard linked in his HBS thread, I give you D6152, the last survivor of the 20 GNoS machines (withdrawn 16.8.68, outlasting its kin by eight and a half months). By that time it had been transferred to Eastfield; it's tidy enough, but nowhere near as smart as it would have been when running off Kittybrewster.

'CHARD Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Top Link Ian, and what's more, with recent filth like this, aided and abetted by the big blue book of ScR diesels that came out not so long ago, I've found myself piecing together a mental picture of the fleet, and more specifically its regional character. The GNOS machines are a fascinating parallel in many ways to the HBS, but even more esoteric given their very short lives. That this refugee ended up at 65A is a story in itself. When we get the ScR Sad-Eyes RTR I reckon it's a stone-hearted cynic that won't foresee some explosion in modelling transition era Moray Coast, West Highland and Central Belt, to name three of the areas that were briefly synonymous with the 21s and 29s. (I'm gonna stop this now, before I get onto the Three Hour Expresses along Strathmore, and Dave sees Inchkennet rematerialise in a whisky haze...)

Pennine MC Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 ..., I've found myself piecing together a mental picture of the fleet, and more specifically its regional character. I'd expect nothing less, obviously TBH it does peeve me a tad that so many folk think the Scottish type 2 fleet was one mahoosive conglomerate that roamed the Region indiscriminately. Oh and they all had snowploughs and tablet catchers y'know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
