jsp3970 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Now this is the most interesting news I have read this year. Will await for further info on how to acquire one of these models. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NXEA! Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Bloody hell a 71. Thank you very much, you'll certainly be getting £130 from me! My wallet is screaming in agony, a Dapol 73, Hornby Blue Bil, DJM 71, plus I keep umm'ing and err'ing about a third EPB… PS, I claim credit for influencing your decision for when I suggested a 71 back in January in the wish-list thread. Thank you very much, can't wait! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rembrow Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Dave Brilliant news, have ordered the 2 BR (Southern) green liveried versions. Let's hope it's a success as this is a new method of customer participation and you deserve credit for organising this crowd sourcing project. Can't wait to get mine, now when will that be !!!!

RMweb Gold Phatbob Posted August 18, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 18, 2014 Pair of green 'uns ordered :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernelectric Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Fantastic news indeed! The KMRC newsletter has a mistake in it though, it has the Blue FYE 71 013 model showing as E5004 (the same as the green model). Order going in for a blue FYE and a green SYP imminently...

Guest Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 So I know which one would be most suitable for my needs, does anyone know when the 71's received the SYWP's? Anyone, Please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted August 18, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 18, 2014 So I know which one would be most suitable for my needs, does anyone know when the 71's received the SYWP's? Small yellow panels began to be applied to locomotive ends about 1962/3, so it is likely the 71s would have had the additional paint within the next couple of years at the most, almost certainly before end-1964.

Also pre-ordered (from Model Junction) the New Haven equivalent of the Cl.71 - the EDER5 being produced by Rapido. Must make sure I don't mix up the rolling stock for them......

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted August 18, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hi Keith! I'm on the fence with the FL9, must make a decision soon or i will miss them, but my NH layout is fading in my eyes and SR third rail is in the ascendency! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it was a little later than that - here is E5009 without any yellow in April 1967. There aren't many pictures around from 1963-1966, but BR(S) was the last region to add yellow panels on locos by quite some margin E5009_PettsWd_8-4-67 by robertcwp, on Flickr Edited August 18, 2014 by stovepipe 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil, Just realised I'm ahead of myself......it's the Cl.74 that's the equivalent of the FL9.....doh..... Let's hope that the Cl.74 does follow the Cl.71.

southernelectric Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I put my order in yesterday afternoon for E5003 green SYP and 71 013 blue FYE. Did these ever run in blue with SYP? Would make a nice livery for a future release if they did... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
