ModelRail USTC 0-6-0 Tank Loco Project USA

Beautiful. As someone lucky enough to get to drive 30065 regularly at the KESR I am really pleased to see these and they are stunning. I just hope I can persuade the MR team to come down and have a play on the real thing in 2016 and bring a sample down to photograph with the real thing. The only thing missing is the the blood splatter where the drop down front plate traps your fingers whilst your doing disposal!

 

Lovely stuff Model Rail, congratulations.

Andy, if they won't bring theirs down, you can borrow mine!

Not long to wait now for this small model with its intricate coupling rods, just 5 weeks to the Glasgow show where the liveries will be unveiled. Shame MR haven't done another late BR green model to curb Gostude-esque eBay extortionists (as Spet0114 says in the Bachmann LT Museum Class 66/7 thread). I have an early BR one on order but would definitely go for a late green as well.

The last of the livery variants have yet to be decided. I believe up to another 3 versions could be ordered, while they aren't limited editions, so larger runs are possible. We now have livery samples of the coloured ones as well.  (CJL)

The final three livery variants are illustrated in the March issue of Model Rail. (CJL)

Ooops! That's let the cat out of the bag! Sadly, the Colas one is the wrong colour. It should be Pepsi blue and its been done in Coke red! (CJL)

 

 

Either would be pop-ular (well you started it!) 

 

 

I suppose we'd need to do the 'B4' 0-4-0T next, then, as the Diet Colas version....... (CJL)

 

Groooaaan! And you lot thought I was a bad one for puns!!   :jester:

The Model Rail office is noted for its puns, groan-worthy headlines (some of which actually get published) and my movie obsession of the moment. All of these get us into trouble because, according to some, model railways aren't supposed to be fun and work certainly isn't supposed to be! (CJL)

Just bunged in an order for 2 more. A KESR USA tank to go with my terriers (though I think some details may be wrong for KESR service but never mind). Now if DJM could just add a KESR J94...,

 

Wonder if anyone will do a USA tank sound chip complete with song "We're on the way"?

DS237, currently running in BR black as 30065. Sister engine DS238 "Wainwright" is due to return to service in departmental lined malachite green later this year.

So far we have seen pictures of 4 black ones from the original batch plus 3 latest additional ones in painted EP form, however has the remainder of the initial batch been done in painted EP form yet and if so, are there photoes anywhere?
