Good. Thank you, I'll be able to run my blue/grey saloon with a 25.

 

Regards,

 

Rob.

Here's a link to one I posted earlier. The Saloon was TDM 45026 and the loco is 25051

Picked up this today, had it on pre order at trident trains and it arrived yesterday

Lovely little model, compared to my LMS one it has a different roof vent towards the centre and twin horns at both ends

 

I may well do as I have with my other one and add people to it and put bigger buffers on

That's nice, I've got a blue Grey one but nothing to run it on, I'd prefer an EWS one if I could afford it.

Hi Big Jim,

 

you need to include the heater vents I had some made for my O Gauge build & used JLTRT ETH equipment.

That's lovely, I think I can live without the heater vent though

 

The Bachmann detail pack has the ETH cables in there but they need a dab of orange on them (there is also brake pipes etc)

Is there anyone else like me waiting patiently for a carmine and cream version of this lovely looking coach?

Pity they don't have anything to tell you where the bits go. I've not opened the packet yet but there are two bits that look a little like lamp irons ??

However it's a very nice model. I finally gave in after saying I wouldn't pay that much for it. Oh well.

Can anyone please confirm whether the BR Maroon version has a different running number from the first release ? A friend of mine states that the model now has painted black end panels. Is this correct as my local dealer hasn't received his allocation as yet ?

Hi All,

 

Given the popularity of these coaches on 1st release I made sure to pre order with Harburn Hobbies for the EWS release. I had a pleasant suprise that this had come out sooner than expected when they called me and went to collect on Tuesday. Great service as usual and a cracking model.

But we need a Western Region design Inspection Saloon now haha.....

 

Hi Coachman,

 

I have an O Gauge Q13 in the pile to do but before that, I must finish what has become a 'shelf queen' - the H33 Restaurant Coach conversion to the S&T Inspection Saloon KDW150266. I am using the JLTRT kit for the Restaurant Coach and this is the story so far. The lower two elevations show the sides marked up prior to the 'cut and shuffle' exercise for the new door installations together with the location of the additional window. The windows in the ends were built up having formed one large aperture.

The coach is preserved on the East Lancs Railway, unfortunately, not in the period that I am modelling, but a prototype reference all the same.

 

Hopefully I will be dusting the box off in the very near future.

 

regards
