daveymills Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 hello all I have 2 Bachmann models of 37057. One I will retain as 37057 but wondered what options I had for modelling the other also in large logo livery. AFAIK all ScR examples lost the livery before getting the high intensity headlight. 37116 had the headlight but also still had skirts fitted. Others such as Motherwell's 37108 had the headlight but also had the nose doors plated over. Any ideas ? thanks Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas ? thanks Dave Dave only other one I can think of would be 37025, again as with 108 this loco had plated doors both end, you could remove the hinges etc with a knife/file Regards, Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractor_37260 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Bachmann's 37034 can makes a nice donor for 116 Davey.. Nice job on the re-livery to 116. What catches my eye, is how the more "bulbous" nose ends on 034 look even worse on a L/L painted loco than they do on a std BR Blue one - compare to the nose ends on 37 057. BTW 37 116 had a plated boiler roof panel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
45059 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 For some reason I can't reply quoting posts any more. But in response to tractor_260s post, no it didn't! http://www.railphotoarchive.org/rpc_zoom.php?img=1243020049000 Sorry Ken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in response to tractor_260s post, no it didn't! http://www.railphotoarchive.org/rpc_zoom.php?img=1243020049000 Sorry Ken. I think you need to look a bit closer at the photo you linked above ! As built - Split box 37's - No's 37 096 to 37 118 all had plated boiler roof panels, including 37 116 which later went on to become "Sister Dora" .Plenty (clear) photos on flicker that will back up my original comment. Just to be clear - my comment is not about the boiler exhaust port being open or plated over, it's the main roof panel at that end of the loco, being smooth plated rather than having riveted strips across it. Regardless it's still a nice rework. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The penny dropped that you must've been talking about the ribs on the boiler compartment roof- an oversight that I really should have noticed at the time! Sorry- thought you were talking about the boiler port itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRS37069 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 How's about a few splitbox large loco examples, not previously produced by Bachmann to consider: 37004 - http://www.flickr.com/photos/24292321@N02/2899059772 37008 - http://www.flickr.com/photos/74384955@N03/6976678119 37012 - http://www.flickr.com/photos/45921043@N07/6599827637 37022 - www.flickr.com/photos/39661085@N07/5140170671 37026 - www.flickr.com/photos/60883475@N03/8390499320 37027 - http://www.flickr.com/photos/eastfield/8387834028 37043 - http://www.flickr.com/photos/eastfield/8387828388 37051 - http://www.flickr.com/photos/eastfield/8386739069 37081 - http://www.flickr.com/photos/eastfield/8423937777 37085 - http://www.flickr.com/photos/eastfield/8423934715 37111 - http://www.flickr.com/photos/eastfield/8384467688 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveymills Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 thanks however the Bachmann model as made has the hi-intensity headlight fitted. All the examples you give require the removal of this, and also in some cases addition of the Scottish Region headlamp. If I was half the modeller I think I am I might have had a bash at attempting the modifications. I was looking for an example that did not require any mods like this - sadly there don't seem to be any cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
