ndg910 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Kernow Model Centre have advised today that tooling has now commenced on the 1361 GWR Saddle Tank! They have also announced an additional model, K2201A in Works Photographic Grey. Unfortunately the additional tooling required to cover the unique features of each of the five models has required a price rise, but existing orders will be honoured at the previous price. You can still save £10 by placing a pre-order: K2201 DJ Models 0-6-0 1361 Steam Loco 1361 BR Black L/C £124.99 K2201A DJ Models 0-6-0 1361 Steam Loco 1361 Photographic Grey £124.99 K2202 DJ Models 0-6-0 1361 Steam Loco 1362 BR Black E/E £124.99 K2203 DJ Models 0-6-0 1361 Steam Loco 1363 GWR Green Shirtbutton emblem £124.99 K2204 DJ Models 0-6-0 1361 Steam Loco 1364 in GWR Green GWR lettering £124.99 K2205 DJ Models 0-6-0 1361 Steam Loco 1365 BR Black L/C heavily weathered £134.99 See their dedicated page here http://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/pg/150/GWR-1361-Class-Saddle-Tank Good for Kernow - meeting the Danish lot head on with a similar photographic grey offering. I fear though it has limited appeal and so if Kernow feel they need to widen the range, how about a different numbered loco in 'Great Western' livery? - or is that planned for the second batch?

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted May 6, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 6, 2016 Before anybody else gets going I see there has been an erroneous transposition of a certain detail - I'll speak to Kernow direct on the matter but no doubt these are for initial illustrations purposes only and the numerous detail differences within the class will, I know, be properly sorted on the production models.

BlackRat Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I know Chris is extremely busy with these and other goodies, so much so that my last visit saw me leaving tea-less, as well as the best part of 125 shekels down, and it was ONLY a social visit!

Clearwater Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I didn't think I needed one of these. Now seeing the CADs, I'm again getting confused between "need" and "want"! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need & want are irrelevancies as far as these are concerned - the correct expression is 'must have'. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clearwater Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Need & want are irrelevancies as far as these are concerned - the correct expression is 'must have'. Yes - suspect these will get onto the "must have" list fairly shortly... Am I right, though, in thinking the class would have been an unlikely sighting in the West Midlands? Could they plausibly have been overhauled at Stafford Road for example? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The West Midlands is a bit off their usual beats - I think Swindon was probably about the furthest north they got workwise but where there was a need an allocation could occur and all sorts of strange things might happen.

Nah - I have no financial involvement at all with this model (apart from a couple of cups of tea at KMRC expense). Ooops - and on one occasion a pasty from the shop down the road.

BlackRat Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I once asked for either commission or a discount, luckily Chris saw the funny side, and after being diagnosed with shock only, was released From A& E. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les1952 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Funny how one of these was sold out of service to the NCB North Durham Area for service. At least that is my excuse for buying one sorted out. It can join my Beattie shunting the screens of No Place ....... Now, which version? Les 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cctransuk Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I brought my own from Hayle. And one for Chris. Since then Philps have heard of his insatiable appetite for them and have opened a shop just along Trelowarren Street We called in there last Saturday - a regular steak pasty each for lunch, plus six regular and six large for the freezer. The car smelled like a pasty factory for days afterwards! We can get good pasties here in Bodmin from Barnecutts, but Philps of Hayle have the edge. Funnily enough, we're off down to Hayle and St. Ives again today - I wonder what will be on the lunch menu? Regards, John Isherwood. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) Free pasty with each purchase... hmmm that should go down well. Just make sure you eat the right one as pasties do not pull trains very well, even on DCC. Edited October 14, 2016 by JSpencer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
