JSpencer Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Me too, for that loco and the King. I find the date a little optimistic to be honest given the amount of work which appears to be left to be done. This is not problem of course, it will arrive when it arrives....

Tom F Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) After reading the haulage issues on in the 02 thread, I hope this is something Hattons will be addressing with their own design if mechanisms are shared between DJM parts.

Fenway Park Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 14XX/58XX were more limited in haulage than the 64XX/4575 so if the capacity is similar to the O2 then 2 auto trailers will be fine. Freight haulage as on the Kington branch will be within the capabilities of the model. The 58xx hauled two coaches with ease on the Barmouth to Dolgellau locals. Their last workings on the WR were hauling two auto trailers from Gloucester to Stroud. Later workings as on the Seaton branch never exceeded two trailers. If the model follows the geared driven route then the haulage capacity will be similar to the O2. Looking forward to these releases next year.

Not many have had haulage issues, so don't read that as the model has a problem. In fact those returned as faulty are well under 10 models in total from the thousands sent out so far. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both excellent runners, will cope with very variable track work and run like a pair of peas in a pod '! What I mean here is, there no indifference in running qualities between them. So I feel very confident for my 58XX on order. Edited November 27, 2015 by JSpencer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarryscapes Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 The 58xx hauled two coaches with ease on the Barmouth to Dolgellau locals. And 4 car sets over the Mid Wales line too, though I wouldn't know about the with ease part! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) The auto fitted Panniers were favoured on hillier branchlines, especially when loadings could fluctuate. Edited December 3, 2015 by coachmann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozexpatriate Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) Dave Mylett's sent over a full set of detailed images.I think this is pretty stunning. The recesses to accurately mount etched number plates are a nice touch. I am really looking forward to further progress here. It begs the question, will there one day be a comparably detailed GWR autocoach to match? (Yes there is a Hawksworth BR(WR) one and I think that people who want a BR liveried 14xx will be delighted by combining the two.)

coachmann Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Not so sure the cabside number plate recess is going to be a good idea. Many folk renumber their locos and fit engraved plates so the last thing one wants is a recess. Thank you.Is the push pull equipment the small box on the front buffer beam? Yup. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Garry D100 Posted December 3, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 3, 2015 What confuses me is that i can find a colour pic of what i think is a 58xx leaving blaenau but it has a top feeder where the 58xx at hattons dont. So im confused :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) Not sure the cabside numberplate recess is a good idea. When many modellers renumber their locos and fit engraved plates, a recess is the last thing one wants. The good thing about not having a topfeed moulded on the model is one can readily fit one. Easier than removing one. Edited December 3, 2015 by coachmann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG John Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Not the old Airfix model is it thank goodness.Very promising. But all that detail could tend to make people reluctant to chop one up into something resembling a 517 class, while doing it to an Airfix one wouldn't feel so bad!
