SDJR7F88 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Following my review of the Hornby Maunsell S15 Class, in BR Early Black Livery, here's a quick running session featuring her hauling a BR Permanent Way Train, which these locomotives would of often been seen on in service over the Southern Region.As can be seen she is a superb performer, handling the mixed rake with ease, whilst running smoothly and silently at the same time. Hope you enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14dorHvnu_A Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmcg Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Good man,- happy memories of seeing them there, usually parked up in a line on road 5. :-) Good old 8mm views of Feltham and other London stuff here; watching the lads setting brakes on wagons on the hump (at around 9 mins) would worry health and safety nowadays! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O8LJmCDukA 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spannerman Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 After all the great pictures of the BR versions and seeing that Hornby appeared to have sold out on their website, I couldn't take the risk of missing out and have pre ordered the SR version from Hattons. If there are any Br black version's left after Christmas I might have to relivery one into Bulleid sunshine black unless Hornby announce one. It's been a very expensive few months for Southern modellers. Atb Nik Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My late crest S15 is winging its way from Rails of Sheffield even as I type this - with any luck, it may even be waiting for me when I get home from work this afternoon.

DougN Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Well was it waiting for you? All I managed to receive today from the same posty was a box of wine....but then again I haven't ordered any trains in ages.

No, the Rails parcel wasn't waiting for me ... but there was one from Hattons, together with a water bill and an electricity one. The wine somehow sounds more inviting than the latter two!

45568 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Rails parcel WAS waiting for me on Monday evening! Unboxed, run-in, and details attached today. Superb! A word of warning; the cylinder drain cocks are extremely long, ( like the Arfur), and front footsteps are out for all except those with the gentlest of curves. Again, very much like the Arthur. Loco. is supersmooth, quiet, and powerful! What more can I say? Cheers from Oz, Peter C. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted October 27, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 27, 2015 In overcame the steps problem with my N15 by fitting them to the outside of the footplating rather that the inside. From a distance you can't notice the difference and that gives it a bit extra play either side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan, how much will you be selling them for? On the off chance I get to Perrygrove in the next couple of weeks, even though I asked not to be rostered this week.

SRman Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 In overcame the steps problem with my N15 by fitting them to the outside of the footplating rather that the inside. From a distance you can't notice the difference and that gives it a bit extra play either side. In the past, I have fitted the steps in the proper place but angled outwards a little. That has worked with N15s and BR standards. I also tend to cut the draincock pipework shorter so it stops just short of the steps and can be pushed outwards by the bogie wheels as they swing into a curve.

Simon Moore Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 A freind brought one into the club last night & the tender filler caps were both in opposite positions so one faced forward 1 backward. Is this prototypical or is it a cock up & has anyone else had this problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattingleycustom Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 If you've a spare Schools Tender... I haven't, but I can see where you're going with this one ... 30837, an interesting possibility. For myself, I am awaiting the SR version, but as I dislike Hornby's pale yellow numerals, mine will be renumbered as 830. Glenn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Respite Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Those big Maunsell tenders look far happier with the late BR crest, don't they? Absolutely, I took one look at the Hornby photos and decided straightaway it had to be the late crest version. I was delighted to hear that the wait isn't as long as expected. Normally I go for early crest locos as a preference.. I am out to get mine tomorrow, then it's a van train behind it for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted October 29, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Ordered the SR version (R3327) from Rails yesterday and about 21hrs later here she is courtesy of ParcelForce. (Never used Rails before - excellent service) Side on: Tender top: Front view: Really looks nice in the flesh. The finish is excellent Photos were taken with the natural light at 08:00 this morning Keith Edited October 29, 2015 by melmerby 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmcg Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Lovely stuff with 824 Melmerby, while waiting for my SR version , this arrived in the mail today. Superb, a bit of what might be oil on the body perhaps. Straight out of the box. cheers 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
