BG John Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Is there a bookie taking bets on either the Peckett E Class or the Dapol Terrier making it to sales first? Who cares? A Peckett is of absolutely no use to me, but a Terrier is! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadnought05 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 End of July was when I heard for the Terrier. When is the Peckett E due? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG John Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 End of July was when I heard for the Terrier. And I suppose I'll have to sit here impatiently waiting for the next batch with the K&ESR one, while everyone else drools over theirs . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaneggleston Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Any word or whispers out there about the first batch of Terriers? If they are on schedule for the end of July and are coming by sea shouldn't they be on or about to be loaded on a ship anytime now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multiple identity account Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Any word or whispers out there about the first batch of Terriers? If they are on schedule for the end of July and are coming by sea shouldn't they be on or about to be loaded on a ship anytime now? If it's due for July end then it should be more than half way.......So somewhere on the high seas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Emily Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Given how close they have allegedly been from time to time over the last eight or more months, I'll believe they're definitely on their way when I see them in the shops. Sorry Dapol, but you yanked my chain too many times over this one - it was ordered as last Christmas' present for my Father and I'm now hoping that it might at least arrive in time to be his birthday present in August.

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted July 7, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) It seems odd that a 3 pole motor would cause interference when there must be a great many locomotives out there with such motors that don't have this issue. Electrical interference is usually caused by poor design or construction of the motor rather than the number of poles on the armature. It is more likely to occur in motors that has been built down to a price and, by definition, such motors are unlikely to have five poles. As you say, there are plenty of three pole motors that don't cause problems so this issue evidently arose from Dapol initially selecting an inferior component for their model.

hartleymartin Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Well, if all goes well, there is a Terrier now and a Peckett for Christmas. Shame that Dapol missed my birthday with the Terrier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy1066 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Having been tempted to the dark side, I have ordered a BR liveried loco to run on a planned IOW garden railway but cannot find any suitable bogie coach kits! Any advice gratefully received.. Thanks .. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartleymartin Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Can't help you with Isle of Wight bogie coaches. The only IWR coaches I know of are 4mm scale ones from smallbrook studio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poggy1165 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Roxey do various Southern pre-group coaches but I am not well enough up on IoW stock to say if any qualify. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ryde-on-time Posted July 18, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) I think Roxey Mouldings do the 4 coach 4 wheel rake in 7mm but don't think they do any bogie coaches. (They do quite a range in 4mm) Perhaps if Dapol do an IOW terrier Roxley could be persuaded to do some 7mm bogie coaches?

IWCR Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 There are a number of 7mm coaches available as kits. Roxy do several Bogie LBSC some of which are correct for IOW. (Look for IOW shape mark for the relevant ones) Alan Gibson also produced most types (Currently not available) Others have produced the Bogie LBSC push pull set, this however is as mainland and needs the driving end of the trailer altering for IOW. Some other odd LBSC and LSWR relevant types have also been made. SECR bogie carriages were available from Bill Bedford, I cant vouch for these and internet pictures of the brake 3rd etches appear to show major errors. The saloon looked OK Roxy also do some LSWR parcel vans and a variety of correct wagons. Roxy for Stroudley LBSC 4 wheelers as previous post, also for an add-on set of IOW specific parts for a full rake of 4. D&S produced several relevant LCDR 4 wheelers including the Push Pull set 484, these have not been available for a long time though a push pull kit was on Ebay last year. Coverage of Island types is actually reasonably good but as always with kits availabilty can be very patchy. If you are looking to do an IOW prototype buy anything relevant when you can, you might never see it again. Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartleymartin Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Thanks for pointing out Roxey Mouldings. I had forgotten about their LBSCR stuff. The ones they have listed as going to the Isle of Wight: 4w Composite, 4w Third, 4w Brake 3rd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy1066 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Thank you all for the info. I have recently moved to the Isle of Wight having bought the old Ningwood station complete with both 180ft platforms and had always planned to build an OO gauge garden railway wherever we moved to, but now having so much space, I am leaning towards 7mm modelling of the Freshwater, Yarmouth and Newport line. I have already dipped my toes by an impulse Ebay purchase of a cheap modded Lima 4f with brass chassis and finescale wheels .. so much more presence than OO. Thanks ..

Andy Just looked on disused stations. It looks lovely, I wish you all the best. Isn't it hard to believe that there was enough traffic for a railway, let alone to need a loop for two trains to cross? Ed You never know, if the tunnel had ever been built, a 4F might have got through. Edited July 19, 2015 by edcayton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones they have listed as going to the Isle of Wight: 4w Composite, 4w Third, 4w Brake 3rd. Careful with this, The 4w composites were to be sent over but what actually came were 4 comp firsts, these then had the two outer compartments downgraded to 3rd for use as composites, (Roxy do also make these firsts). There were two Stroudley 4w sets each formed of 2 brake thirds, one third and a composite (ex first) A rake of these would be correct for the Freshwater line in the 1920's with additional vehicles for busy times There were also three Billington 4w sets but no-one makes suitable types for these.

Andy1066 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Thanks all .. I dont want to hijack the thread so back on topic, I guess I have until Sept/October before the Terrier starts shipping so need to trawl the web to find out any differences for the Island locos. My preference for the bogie coaches stems from when I went to Sandown on a school journey in the late 50's and travelled from Ryde Pierhead on the steam train, an unforgettable experience. Also, I think a Connoisseur O2 kit will probably be on my Christmas list ... Thanks ... Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ianmaccormac Posted July 19, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 19, 2015 Roxey also bought the MSC LB&SCR range of coaches and I thought Dave was developing these to be able to be sold as a current standard kit, the originals didn't quite meet that definition ! Ask him, he may well have a load of etches ready or some old stock? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy1066 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I called Dave at Roxey and he has nothing suitable for the IOW available at this time but may have by the year end or early next year. Worsley Works list a kit for an IOW saloon 6986 but is sides, ends,floor and battery boxes only. Dave said he can supply bogies and other items so this may be a start ... Cheers ..
