rvp Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 It may also have been Mr Ermel that just south of here, photographed the down Heart of Midlothian(double headed by Class 24s) being rescued by another Sulzer with two brake tenders. That in turn had to be rescued by another Class 24 with DBT. It was reported in the contempory railway press at the time. I'm told the photo definitely exists. Trumpted Ya... Edit: Whilst checking back through old Trains Illustrated to see if I can find the report of the above incident (And just to check the facts so as not to let the truth get in the way of a good story!) I came across a rather nice pic of D1 with DBT leaving Kirby sidings being piloted by 4F 43888. 14/07/1963. This in turn reminded me that I have a neg of a V2 hauing a DBT on the east Coast main Line near to Chester le Street. So who needs a nasty Diesel to pull a DBT. Is there any chance of seeing this picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted November 7, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 7, 2017 The full size one is finished. It looks great and well done to all those who help make it. We now have our brake tender with BR Mk1 bogies. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opelsi Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 You never know - they may do another run of them at some point. I had discounted these myself but having seen one on Youtube, wish I had got one now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Francis deWeck Posted February 8, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2018 You never know - they may do another run of them at some point. I had discounted these myself but having seen one on Youtube, wish I had got one now! I bought one, a good model. It appeared some time after I had visited Olivia's and proposed an OO gauge model; I don't know how much of a coincidence this was, I left an incomplete model with them, maybe a rep picked up on it. I hope that there will be another run to add to my two units (one a kit built unit) with different markings, and, if we are lucky variations on the type.

73c Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 When I spoke with them, they said they'd just broke even on them, doubtful for another run it seems. Wouldn't be so bad but I was one of the team that built the full size one and didn't buy the model version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted February 8, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2018 Presumably, if and when Hornby Magazine decide they have no further interest in these, Dapol could produce a further run off their own bat. I'm very happy with mine and wouldn't mind another. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad McCann Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Does anybody do an accurate set of decals for an as-built DBT? The markings on the model as supplied are pretty s**t. D4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can make it in OO gauge, O gauge or most others too, or make changes to the design if you are interested. Thank you. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I ask; how have you suceeded where others have failed, ie in ironing out some of the issues that other manufactureres havent/missed details? Apologies I could only see the one view and I am not familar with navigating the Shapeways site. Does your kit come with Bogie side-frames and sub assemblies too? What about detail parts such as VB pipes and brake wheels etc? Any idea what a 7mm version would cost? ATVB, with thanks, CME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D4 Yer man CCT does not, I'm afraid. The difficulty is the lack of reliable records of what was actually built, as opposed to what was supposed to have been built, and the corresponding lack of information re style / dumbering / lettering. ....... and they're just outside my self-imposed timescale !

John Tomlinson Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 When I spoke with them, they said they'd just broke even on them, doubtful for another run it seems. Wouldn't be so bad but I was one of the team that built the full size one and didn't buy the model version As it happens I was chatting with a man on the Hornby Magazine stand at the GC event last weekend, and asked about these models. (I wished I'd bought one first time and didn't) He said that serious consideration was being given to another run, possibly in time for the Great Electric Show at Gaydon, which I think is early October. So let's hope...! John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
