Mike Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Cheeky Now one of these would look great on Reely Grate, if you need a test bed the layout will be at Warley NEC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 While I have no particular use for the model (it would look very strange on EM track), I've stumbled upon a couple of prototype pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/30937/8589309284/in/set-72157632839455669 http://www.flickr.com/photos/30937/8589309526/in/set-72157632839455669/ This example appears to be fitted with some sort of exhaust conditioning/flameproofing device. Quite a handsome livery too; much more interesting than the rather florid GW scheme - which I'm sure will be very popular. Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam It even has a copper-capped chimney and what appears to be a steam whistle. Does anyone know the works number? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flexible_coupling Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'd be quite keen on that colour/livery variation as opposed to the green. Very cool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
81A Oldoak Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'd be quite keen on that colour/livery variation as opposed to the green. Very cool. We are doing the fully-lined GWR version and a plain unlined green version. You are most welcome to repaint the loco and alternative lining should be quite simple as the loco is mainly straight lines. We will be interested to see what owners do to their Fowlers.

HeatherKay Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 It even has a copper-capped chimney and what appears to be a steam whistle. Does anyone know the works number? It's probably a air-driven whistle, like the Underground uses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
