Judge Dread Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 They would have looked rather nice in BR black. Doncaster built these not Dagenham. Hurry up Dave please, I cannot wait any longer but I suppose I must. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Didn't realise Grand Central had any, it will look better with the orange stripe. Very nice. Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 The springs on the bogies look helical, as on the Westerns, rather than the usual solid mouldings. It looks pretty good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium cctransuk Posted March 16, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 16, 2016 They would have looked rather nice in BR black. Just imagine it with silver bogies, raised chrome bodyside strip and numbers, plus an early BR crest !! Regards, John Isherwood. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted March 16, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 16, 2016 ooooorrghhhh lookit the bogie detail! Not only that but DJ as his own man has parts which stay on the bogies whereas his previous employer currently has models where they fall off. That look the badgers nadgers. Now for my 74s - please! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2009 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 That looks absolutely superb - it really captures the feel of the original. The pantograph and bogies are both excellent. It'll sell like hot cakes when you shrink it down to N gauge. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptic Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Just imagine it with silver bogies, raised chrome bodyside strip and numbers, plus an early BR crest !! Regards, John Isherwood. I like your image John, but how about Photographic Grey ?. By this, I mean, I'm still not completely convinced (in black) by the cab-front to body-side curvature transition. Looking at Andy Y's / Kernows' photos, The near-side front corner looks to be 'ok', while the off-side front, and rear ends' look to be 'unattended to'. Still, Best to catch'it'early with this loco, Dave, is it not ? All the best, Frank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Phatbob Posted March 19, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) I was lucky enough to get to see and handle the EP in the flesh at Ally Pally (thanks Captain Kernow). Looks good and has a good weight to it too. There'll be no lack of traction! Edited March 19, 2016 by Phatbob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be just an optical illusion, but, compare the two lower front corners in the overhead shot. Here's a tracing to illustrate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidH Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 That looks to me like an illusion caused by the angle the model is photographed at. However, what is really needed to nail your question is a front-on photo, at the very least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Hi, Until i get the model back from Kernow later this week i cant get you the required picture, however, from the updated cad/cam all 4 'corners' were altered when it had the slight re-tool. I could show you the cad/cam but in all honest i'll wait and show you the model just to put all doubt at rest. Cheers Dave 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a tracing to illustrate. DJM Cl.71 Front end..png Hi Ceptic. From your sketch, I see what you mean but I'm afraid I don't agree wholely. I think your sketch misses the nuances of the curve and the light and dark shading. Take the overhead shot and explode the area of concern and a very different picture emerges. Anyway. Roll on more shots when available. Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf27 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I agree Dave, the angle that the picture is taken at is not directly central over the loco , angles and lighting are unforgiving and misleading. Cheers Shane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivegreen Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Many thanks for posting the photos, Andy and the same to DJM Dave for the work he and the team are doing on this model - I look forward to receiving mine! To those who are ... shall we say … 'interpreting' what the photos appear to show, do you really think that DJM Dave would have corrected one corner and not the other three? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Just taken some nice high resolution pics which I will post tomorrow. All four corners are the same. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 As promised a fresh set of pics of the DJ Models Class 71. The revised corner taper should be evident in these. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptic Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Many thanks for these latest images Andy. It's always best to 'measure thrice, and cut once', is it not ? My concerns are now at rest. Cheers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
