RTJ Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hi all, I'm toying with the idea of making a ('O'gauge) David Andrews Black 5 kit - ideally of one that ran on the S&DJR. …But which one… - there are 5 types listed here (http://www.locomotivekits.com/pricelist.pdf). I believe that most/all ran with 1B tenders. Any help gratefully received. BW Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTJ Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Yes, thanks Paul. What I really meant to ask is which of the 5 types listed: D141 LMS/BR ‘Black 5’ 4-6-0 (Short Firebox, Riveted Tender) £319 D142 LMS/BR ‘Black 5’ 4-6-0 (Short Firebox, Welded Tender) £319 D143 LMS/BR ‘Black 5’ 4-6-0 (Long Firebox, Welded Tender) £319 D144 LMS/BR ‘Black 5’ 4-6-0 (Long Firebox, Part Riveted Tender) £319 D145 LMS/BR ‘Black 5’ 4-6-0 (Long Wheelbase, Part Riveted Tender) £319 ran on the S&D.

bike2steam Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Now then, that's quite a big ask, as boilers, and tenders used to be swapped around, you need info that gives which had what at the period that suits. I must admit I haven't seen the new(ish) series by Irwell Press on the Black 5's, and whether it gives the required info, at about £100, or so, for the three, I've got to keep saving the pennies.

Combe Martin Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 As ever, it's study the published photos I'm afraid. The S&D allocated ones (44826/30/39, 44917 and 45440) were all transferred away by mid 1958, so it depends upon your modelling period. After that the photos suggest their appearance was sporadic with no regular appearance by any one loco. Of course, the photographers didn't capture everything, and in those days were mostly out at the weekends ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
