Kernow diesel

Comment at foot of todays Kernow newsletter - our Warley diesel announcement has a connection to our Beattie Well Tank...

What locos do they have on the Bodmin & Wenford?

 

I wonder if they're going down the small industrial route so many of us have been asking for?  Anyone for Brian?

One of these Western region diesels would be good, Trix did make a model years ago.

I had one of those Trix ones. The body was quite good for the time, and so was the motor. However the flanges were so deep, they 'bumped the chairs' on Super-4 track (younger readers may have to  ask their dads), so Hornby-Dublo or Peco track was out of the question.

They must being doing something that has been or is already in production. Unless it is not a BR period loco.

 

WR Locos

 

Class 03, done, not too sure if anywhere used in Cornwall.

 

Class 08, done, these took over from 1366 class which had taken over from the Beattie well tanks.

 

Class 14, done but not a Cornwall loco

 

Class 22, done

 

Class 25, done

 

Class 37, done Hymek, done, not a common loco in Cornwall, built by Beyer, Peacock as were the Beattie well tanks.

 

D600, waiting

 

Warship, Swindon, done

 

Warship, NBL, almost done

 

Western, done

 

Class 50, over done

 

Class 56, done

 

Class 60, done

 

Class 45/46 done

 

Class 47, well done

 

PWM, done a long time ago, I know people will buy them but apart from when building your layout would they be used, they were after all departmental locos for the track laying gangs.

 

15101-6 Swindon built 350 hp 0-6-0s not done but unsure if they went to Cornwall.

 

Have I missed any regular Cornish WR based locos?

 

LSWR/SR

 

SR 1Co-Co1, stuck in the pipeline with the D600

 

Class 33, done

 

Class 04, some at Plymouth, did these cross the Tamar?

 

10000/10001 done but don't think they made it to Cornwall

 

Class 09, done again did any make it to Cornwall.

 

Class 12, not done but like the class 09 did any make it to Cornwall

 

Class 07, not done, did any get as far west as Redbridge?

 

See WR locos for other types of diesel that ran on the LSWR.

 

Again have I missed any classes that ran in Cornwall on the ex LSWR lines?

 

I remain confused to what they are putting in the pipeline behind the stuck D600 and 10203.

It is essentially a Ruston 165DE - available in kit from from Judith Edge currently and others in the past  - but there were a number in industrial use, if I recall correctly so there is in theory a range of alternate livery options available and certainly a number of uses.

I remember one regularly shunting in the PWay track yard at Newland between Worcester and Malvern. During the week you could use itfor moving engineers materials around.

Kerosene Castle?

S'not a diesel is it (well most of the time 18000 wasn't), but you never know and it's not that long since I saw various parties who I'd better not name taking a look at it at Didcot ;) ).

 

BTW Clive seems a bit behind the times as the Kernow D600 is making progress have a look at recent Kernow newsletters and the link to progress reports on their various models.

Hi Mike

 

If there has been some development over the last few months it has not been put up on their website. The images are the same ones I saw months ago.

 

Anyhow I have one finished and one in the making (which might never be finished) and I don't model the WR. :no: :no:

 

I just find it frustrating that manufacturers announce models so far in advance these days.

I take it that you've seen this?

The PWMs were exactly that - Permanent Way Machines and as such weren't driven by men in the footplate line of promotion but by PerWay staff.  Thus no problem using them in PerWay depots and yards (where they spent their weekdays) or within possessions on site but they moved to/from possessions formed in trains and not on their own although they were allowed out on running lines with a Conductor Driver who was a man in the footplate line of promotion.

 

Incidentally it seems that nobody has yet fully thought through what the word 'diesel' could mean ... ...
