RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted January 8, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2013 I take it none of the Caley pugs made it into preservation?, not counting the NBR one which although similar is not the same thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted January 8, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thought so, wonder how much work it would be to mod a Caley into an NBR one ......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefrk Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 There were only two built and both were sold by the LMS in 1935 with one scrapped c1940 and the other one scrapped 6/56 when at Corby steel works. Eh, sorry but what were all the ones I've seen in BR livery doing? Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stuartp Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Industrial - Are you getting mixed up with the Barclay pugs the CR inherited from one of it's joint lines ? Redgate - It depends how much work you want to do. New cab uppers, stovepipe chimney (?) and dumb buffers as a minimum. The Hornby one is overlength though to fit the GWR 101 chassis - if you correct that (Branchlines do a chassis) you'll only have the saddle tank and smokebox left from the Hornby one.

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted January 8, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm thinking about the Slaters O gauge kit, but as Fourgig is a heritage line ideally I'd like to model something preserved. Modeller's licence could kick in though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted January 8, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2013 What type is the Hornby 'Caley' pug, or is it a mongrel? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesperus Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 A couple of pictures here http://www.flickr.com/photos/67908005@N02/galleries/72157630839442370/ I think they were built by North British as a standard small shunter and were bought by both the CR,NBR and a few industrial users such as Bairds and Scottish steel company but I could well be wrong.

Guest stuartp Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 They were originally a Neilson* standard industrial design, later bought by the two mainline companies with minor alterations. There was a genuine industrial one (i.e. not a main line cast off) still in NCB service in the 1960s at one of the Ayrshire collieries although the LMS and BR later sold some out of service. The Hornby Caley pug is indeed a Caley pug but stretched a bit to fit an existing chassis, other than an oversized backhead to clear the motor there's nothing wrong with the body that chopping 8mm out of the saddle tank doesn't cure. The Branchlines chassis gives you both options, either scale or stretched, see my signature for a link to a (so far incomplete) build. (*Or possibly Dubs - distentangling which Scottish loco builders went bust and were bought out by whom and in what order is a bit like trying to keep track of who Liz Taylor is married to.)

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted January 11, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 11, 2013 Carry on the discussion chaps, all very enlightening There was of course a reason for my original question and that was I'd put a cheeky bid in on eBay for a kit that in the end got sniped away from me at the end, so panic over for me Would be nice to have an O gauge Caley in full CR livery as I have the Hornby version from my childhood collection (with a spare body sprayed LMS black) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted January 11, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks for the link to your pug project Stuart. I had no thoughts about one until I saw a recent article in Bylines on Dundee Harbour lines which featured one with an 'attractive' looking wooden tender. Lovely!
