Andy Y Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Dave Mylett has sent over the artwork for each of Hattons exclusive editions of the J94. Once again there's great attention to detail in replicating the plates on each of the models. There's a pdf of each if you'd like to take a look and comment if you find anything which needs further consideration. j9401_colour_layout.pdf j9402_colour_layout.pdf j9403_colour_layout.pdf j9404_colour_layout.pdf j9405_colour_layout.pdf j9406_colour_layout.pdf j9407_colour_layout.pdf j9408_colour_layout-r.pdf j9409_colour_layout.pdf j9410_colour_layout.pdf 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 We have had the first sample through of our Limited Edition J94 from DJ Models. It has been sent to Mercig Studios for weathering and now looks just as it should from the factory. I’m sure you will agree it captures the ‘oily cleaned’ finish of 68012 from the final days of the Cromford and High peak railway perfectly and we can’t wait to see the rest. The livery itself is to be changed slightly with some tweaks but still looks great. The rest of the samples should be with us over the next few weeks and these are still on course for a Q1 2016 release. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted November 16, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Very promising spec showing up there. Hopefully the weathering on the King will look as good and oily as that. Edited November 16, 2015 by Hilux5972 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Y Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 I took a look at the latest J94 decoration samples for some of Hatton's exclusive editions the other day. 'Robert' - Bold Colliery 'Royal Engineer' - WD98 Wemyss Private Railway No.15 Mech. Navvies NCB Backworth No.4 - loved this livery! 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les1952 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) I'm being a bit critical here- Isn't 71515 a little too orange? - or at least a little too pale? Apart from that, fantastic.

Rhys Underwood Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) 71515 looks way to bright. It's livery is indian red not cherry red, as I work with it most weekends I know the shade of red it is and that is not it.

br2975 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Just a small point on liveries - J9406 - which apparently portrays RSH 7139/1944, NCB Mountain Ash No.8 had a black painted top to the saddle tank and black dome following its overhaul in the Mountain Ash, Central Workshop during the mid 1970s. . I cannot say if it had a black saddle tank top prior to its overhaul, but it did have black and yellow chevrons on its buffer planks at least, where as post overhaul the buffer planks were red. .

Wheatley Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 WPR 15 should be chocolate brown, not butterscotch. The earlier sample (post #83) was nearer but still too pale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Y Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Hatton's are aware that further revision to tones on some of the samples. We specifically discussed Robert, Mech.Navvies and WPR last week. The previous EP of Mech navvies was cerise pink so it's an improvement. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 SWMBO might be mollified by a pink loco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheatley Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 and queue the livery moaning........................ And there was me thinking that this particular manufacturer encouraged feedback. Oh hang on, he does, it's just you on your high horse. Good to know it's in hand, thanks Andy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed a/c Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 No high horse here, it is always the same..............and there is no doubt that there are many on here that know what they should look like, and as Andy has stated Hattons are aware that some liveries need the tones adjusting. Wheatley himself said there is a difference in the two photos between the WPR sample, not sure but I think they are likely the same loco just under different lighting conditions.

Hi, the WPR is a new version (note running plate edge, and running number on buffer beam) as specified by Hattons for the revised sample, which this is.

"... Andy has stated Hattons are aware that some liveries need the tones adjusting...." . Accepted, but then I'm not privy to what Hatton's know, only the images that have been posted. . I can't account for, and won't comment upon the other models, only the loco of which I had intimate knowledge. . Brian R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les1952 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I'm glad Hattons intend to look again at 71515- Mech Navvies technically was the name of the contractor working the screens. The loco was 71515 and its counterpart at Swalwell was 75167. This name was carried by BOTH locos at the site, though only 75167 got re-lettered when Mech Navvies Ltd were replaced as contractors by Johnsons of Chopwell. Here is 75167 after change of tank side lettering- indeed it may have already been withdrawn by then as the two diesels that replaced the Austerities had already arrived. Indeed 12088 can be seen in the background to this pic.. Again- I made a livery comment (not a moan) intended to be before authorisation for production so that Hattons could look again and release an engine that was the right colour. Les BTW- the only PINK locos I really remember were a couple of Warships at Canton in December 1969 that were long overdue for a coat of Banger blue..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Hattons Dave Posted February 11, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Hi all,Thanks for all the comments on the latest colour samples, and also to Brian R for the excellent photos of Mountain Ash 8 (Please rest assured that this now has a black tank top as per its post-overhaul state). I'm fully aware of the colour situation and these will be showcased again when further examples are with us which we're working with Dave Jones to ensure the exact shades are as they should be.The release dates for these have been amended on our system alongside the Kings and 14xxs however this is not due to any issues with production, just to provide a realistic release date in order to stem any disappointment.Cheers!Dave Edited February 11, 2016 by Hatton's Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
