andytrains Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 When the (original) Modelzone in Birmingham had a working Hornby layout I asked why it was always operated by a couple of the basic 0-4-0s. "because they are the most reliable" was the answer. Keith You mean Beatties? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted October 4, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 4, 2016 You mean Beatties? No. Modelzone in Bull Street, now Computer Exchange, before Modelzone it was Music Zone. At the back of the store was a two track Hornby layout which usually had a couple of these 0-4-0s speeding around pulling 3 or 4 Railroad wagons. Beatties I remember from the Pallasades.

(IMHO It is about time this dreadful thing was pensioned off. It was poor by the standards of the mid-fifties when it first appeared.) To be pedantic.... ( ) This body tool was a new one.....the 1950s body has a "box" on the Port Side in front of the fuel tank to house the key-hole for the clockwork version. This body dates from th e1980 (i think) with the auto-uncoupling feature... It also has guide lines moulded in for the high level stripe appiled to the "Australian" version... The chassis is the "B12" type as well! But still very "wrong" in the chassis dept.! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Yer wot?! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRI-ANG-RAILWAYS-MODEL-No-R52-ex-LMS-0-6-0T-NER-JINTY-TANK-LOCO-CODE-3-/401177001060?hash=item5d68033c64:g:p6gAAOxy9X5Tar3M Now then.... The Train Collectors Society Magazine "Train Collector" Issue 40 September 2016 has a piece about some re-painted Tri-ang Railways "Jinties".... These are Pre 1959 locos, with the earlier MkIIb (open loop) Couplings.... The Ebay example is 1961 onwards, with the side mounted body screw. Missing in this case! Going by the chassis, probably 1961 made...Solid wheels and plain coupling rods... The TC examples are possibly credited to Bassett Lowke or Bonds....The TC North Eastern loco has "North Eastern" in full, and the numbers are all on a red oval.... So the origin of this loco is, to say, uncertain! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
