Cab Lining doesn't match the tender. The Cab lining the model carries (two horizontal lines) is consistent with that only seen with Raved tenders, even with the Late Crest. The tender being a C/D 5500g, not only mismatches the cab-width, but mismatches the lining on the cab. 34030 had the same 4500 tender its whole life.

I also think that the green is a very slightly different shade between the tender and loco, which may help explain this - clearly a marriage of disparate parts.

RMweb Gold RFS Posted May 21, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) I also think that the green is a very slightly different shade between the tender and loco, which may help explain this - clearly a marriage of disparate parts. Perhaps, 'spares or repair' would be a better description. 34030 Watersmeet was originally sold by Hornby as part of the Devon Belle boxed set - see http://www.ehattons.com/17578/Hornby_R2568_Ltd_Edition_The_Devon_Belle_train_pack/StockDetail.aspx It thus had an unmodified tender with original emblem. So this model has a replacement tender. Rails also have another model from the same stable - 34090 92 Squadron but inexplicably with an Exeter nameplate - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-YOUCHOOS-ENHANCED-R2220-92-SQUADRON-BR-BATTLE-OF-BRITAIN-DCC-SOUND-7H/191865517973?_trksid=p2046732.c100040.m2060&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140107095009%26meid%3Dcd933b05520e4f71b52da71a00a2b1e2%26pid%3D100040%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D131813982132. It's also described as 34081. Plus it has not only route disks (also fixed in the wrong place) but also "working" express headlamps just like the other example, even though the Southern never used this form of train description.

Nearest offer....£125.....mainly for the sound chip. I suspect the sound fitting was done first and then the 'renaming' was done by the buyer. I've had a few YouChoos sound fitted locos pass through my hands and I must say he does a very tidy job, not just with the speaker and light fitting, but with hiding the wiring, as well.

BG John Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 O gauge manufacturers really need to improve the quality of their products, when scratchbuilt locos to this standard are offered at a bargain starting price.

Earlswood Nob Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Obviously the well known vendor thinks that Larry Goddard forgot to sign the loco. Perhaps I should sell an unsigned painting that I have in my hall.
