JSpencer Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 One thing I did not mention. The cab is painted too, with light umber in appropriate places. There are numerous fitted cab details, although somewhat rudimentary compared with an E4. (But better than an E2 or Terrier). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestburyJack Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 OOWORKS have posted new pictures of their I3 in Southern olive green livery on their website, and very fine it looks too ! http://www.ooworks.co.uk/ Not sure how many were made, but Olive Green now sold out! I got one of the last, very good it looks too, lettering and lining is OO Works' best yet - apparently it is "Tampo printed" as opposed to Waterslide transfers on the OG version (but I think Waterslide are still used on the SR Black "Sunshine" version).

RMweb Gold Budgie Posted July 3, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 3, 2015 I wouldn't mind an H class, which I understand they did a few years ago. Has anyone got one going spare? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forester Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I wouldn't mind an H class, which I understand they did a few years ago. Has anyone got one going spare? The H Class was one of OO Works best models and good examples fetch prices well above new. There is a strong demand for an H Class, if any current producer is looking for a "pretty tank".

Edwardian Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Having seen the finish on the Southern olive green version, I can't wait to see the Marsh Umber. Apparently due in September, so put down for one before it's too late! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Sets the Pace Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Having seen the finish on the Southern olive green version, I can't wait to see the Marsh Umber. Apparently due in September, so put down for one before it's too late! From their website, OOWORKS have now sold out of the LBSCR livery version and only have models left in Southern sunshine black and BR lined black. Glad I already have my preorder for the LBSCR version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Sets the Pace Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I wouldn't mind an H class, which I understand they did a few years ago. Has anyone got one going spare? I did send an e-mail to OOWORKS in June asking if they would be doing a re-run of the Wainwright 'H' class as I too would like one. Their reply was that unfortunately they would not be doing a re-run, and it was onward with the next project. Exciting to see what their next project will be though...

Edwardian Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Crikey O'Reilly, I ordered one of the Umber ones the day before yesterday - order confirmed - I had not realised that I had only just got in under the wire - phew! It is my first time dealing with OO Works, but signs are encouraging as I received a prompt and helpful response, for which I was most grateful. They seem like a very pleasant as well as efficient outfit to deal with, and that always helps. Anyway, the olive green one is a stunner, and has really whetted my appetite for the umber version. I must say it is very exciting to be expecting a first loco from them. I have long wanted an OO Works model, but the I3 in pre-grouping livery is the first of their models that I felt I could make a home for/have an excuse to run. I suspect OO Works is generally a Good Thing for our hobby and I am glad that the I3 is apparently doing so well, and, I, too, will look with interest for their future products.

PrestburyJack Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Received notification today that my umber LBSCR version is ready to be delivered - all I have to do is pay for it! Looking forward to seeing it alongside Birch Grove. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwardian Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Today is not a good day for photographs. It is raining solidly, mist is still shrouding the view and it is one of those dull winter days that never gets light. But, my I3 arrived in the post yesterday.

Edwardian Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Since I do not have a layout [sigh] I took the I3 along to my local model shop for a run. They have a code 100 set-track oval for testing. Here's how she did: She ran forward, sweetly, straight from the box, starting at a fairly slow speed, starting with no apparent inertia. She ran forwards perfectly smoothly and we got her down to an absolute crawl. Backwards she was a little jerky every so often, but soon smoothed out. Not bad as she had not been run-in. She had no problem in either direction around what I guess was 3' radius plain track. The rear pony truck consistently derailed when running backwards in one direction only across a set-track point. Backwards at slow speed a Hornby level crossing on a curve derailed the bogie having locked her coupled wheels and brought her to a standstill. Baring in mind the nature of this item, I would imagine that the OO Works I3 is unlikely to be run over such 'train set' track. For me I do not mind these minor limitations as the standards that I am expecting to work to are Code 75 SMP or C&L with Peco off-stage. Points and curves will not be as tight as those experienced today. Obviously, I would be interested in any reports of performance under other conditions. I did not run her with stock, so I cannot vouch for her pulling power. Again, as I am planning a straight and level London to Brighton mainline run, I trust that I will find her able to haul the Southern Belle from one end of a future layout to the other! I hope this, admittedly limited, test is of some interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Getting on for almost 2 years now and she has proven to be a lovely reliable runner. More satisfactory than the Adams radials from other makes. I,ve had her regularly working a 6 coach Maunsell rake with ease. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
