The Nth Degree Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I have a Clayton kit that I'd like to start soon but I can't find any pictures of a Clayton Class 17 cab interior anywhere. As the kits starts with the cab I'm falling at the first hurdle with knowing what is which colour. I've checked Brian Daniels thread (it's the same kit) but his cab interior doesn't look much like the colour scheme on this B&W picture, for example: http://www.rail-online.co.uk/ImageView.aspx?id=6562bede-ed6d-45f2-893d-199685aaaf4a If anyone has any colour pics I would be very grateful.

RMweb Gold 96701 Posted November 8, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 8, 2013 Well, now you've hit the perrennial problem. If there aren't any colour photos, how would anybody know that you've chosen your colours incorrectly? I painted the cab of my DC Kits Clayton Type 1 the same colours as most cabs of that era: - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/74/Class_37_cab.jpg Are they the wrong colours?

Fenman Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'm not sure how helpful these are - taken on the Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railway of preserved Clayton D8568. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nth Degree Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Thanks Paul. Like they say in the blue supermarket, "Every little helps" – which doesn't actually make sense; every little what? Sure it should say "Every little bit helps"?

The Nth Degree Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 No, it was JLTRT, but I sold it unmade - I now have a cunning plan... Did you know it uses the same bogies as a Class 15? Ahem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 ..... I now have a cunning plan... Did you know it uses the same bogies as a Class 15? Ahem. No, but I had a very dangerous thought just now of using Bill Bedford's sprung 8'6" coach bogies as a shortcut to having suspension in it.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
