Jack P Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 So as some of you may know, I purchased the H2 off ebay the other day, and I didn't have too much faith. Imagine my surprise when I got home tonight to find a box waiting for me, from Taiwan.. The tender doors are in the small detail bag that came with it, Which I haven't got around to fitting, because also waiting for me was a package from PDK - anyways, sorry about the not-so-great pictures and shaky phone video. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack P Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Here's a photo of the gorgeous cab interior I can also confirm you can straighten out the coupling rods once removed with no issues As this was more of a chance encounter than a planned thing - can anyone tell me if there were any H2's still in black in 1947? 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebell Model Railway Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) I took the plunge and ordered on early September... thanks to De-Rails it arrived yesterday so thanks to them for the fast delivery, excellent.I have noticed Bachmann have started to mould things on, like lamp irons on the back of the tender body... and the hand rail on the cab which a year or so ago would of been some bent chromed rod.Nice model all round, but would of like a little bit more for the money rather than all the moulded on parts (Clever design) [media] [media/] Edited September 22, 2018 by Bluebell Model Railway 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevor7598 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 My Beachy Head arrived this morning in less than 24 hours from ordering over the phone. That's tested, despatched and delivered at a good price, with free delivery. So many thanks to Derails, and for once the Post office, for the superb service. As for the loco, it's one of Bachmann's finest efforts to date, a beautiful model. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZ Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Picked up mine at lunchtime from East Somerset Models. Fitted with a Bachmann decoder for the moment. Nice smooth runner. For some reason it was sent to Branksome shed for servicing and it was "borrowed". All extra parts and a Lenz decoder will be fitted when I return from the land of Oz.

WD0-6-0 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Were there major variations in the class? I was originally only going to get the H1 in umber but the black H2 looks so lovely I don't think I can resist it!I'm thinking I might remember to 32425 Trevose Head (purely because of the Cornish Connection) if it and 32424 are the same.

Iltman Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Picked up mine at lunchtime from East Somerset Models. 20180922_143947_resized.jpg Fitted with a Bachmann decoder for the moment. Nice smooth runner. For some reason it was sent to Branksome shed for servicing and it was "borrowed". All extra parts and a Lenz decoder will be fitted when I return from the land of Oz. Looking very nice, am I mistaken but weren’t the H2s regular visitors to Branksome shed in the 50s on the Brighton-Bournemouth service Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted September 22, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) They are such wonderfully elegant locomotives - such a tragedy none survived. What I have seen in the photos of the model on this thread makes me even more excited for the Southern liveried version I have on order. I am still very tempted by the LBSCR umber H1.

mow Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I saw one of those in Green at Kidderminster Station last night in Bachmann's display cabinet. It looked impressive. Unfortunately there was no battery power left in the camera when I saw it. Perhaps another SVR visitor might have taken a shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Andy Hayter Posted September 22, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 22, 2018 It was confirmed to me this morning that the SR Olive Green and LBSCR Brown would be arriving mid-October. Does that mean we are getting a LBSCR livery H2 or are you referring to the H1? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he records that the H2s were transferred to Blazingsmoke in November 1940, and 2422 was noted at Bournemouth West on a troop train 11.3.41, while 2421 was seen on vans at Dorchester South 17.7.41. By January 1943 they had been transferred to Ashford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
