Guest Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Apologies, for some reason 'Reply quoting this post' isn't working for me at the moment. AJA Models, Hornby's Current CAD which they show in their announcement for the As built Merchant Navy is of an Original 1st series, which would cover 21C1-21C3 prior to modifications in an attempt to improve the drivers visibility from drifting smoke. It is likely they'll modify this later on to cover more variants. The picture in their announcement, looks like a series 2 going by the 'Southern' sun-shine lettering on the tender, and the squarer Air-smoothing around the wheels, as well as the cab.

'Reply quoting this post' doesn't work if you're using Windows 8 with its version of Internet Explorer. Check you're running on the RMweb 2013 theme. Click "change theme" at the bottom left of this page, and select it. This should fix your problem with IE 11 but you need to restart IE for it to take effect.

Hroth Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Tangential to airsmoothed Merchant Navys, but interesting all the same; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-32000416 "Youngest steam engine driver for 50 years qualifies for main line service." He was driving "Clan Line". Edited March 21, 2015 by Hroth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Oh no! Looking at their Engine Shed blog, Hornby seem to have done a pet peeve of mine by sticking a screw just Under the chimney. This makes fitting a smoke unit nigh on impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black 5 Bear Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 According to a very good source in the trade, one of the Spam Can Merchant Navy class will be Clan Line in Brunswick Green with early BR totem. Think this was the final livery before being rebuilt. Let the frothing begin!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr chapman Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I thought clan line ran with a late crest before being rebuilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black 5 Bear Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I bow to superior knowledge, in any case whether it is early or late BR totem, it will I suspect given Hornby's resurgence be a popular choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clan Line was a 73A loco until 1956/7 then transferred to the western section. Spotted by me from the window of an incoming boat train on the Grosvenor Bridge backing out of Victoria to Stewarts Lane on 24/08/1956. I had been seasick on a rough crossing from Boulogne after an overnight journey from Basel ( SNCF 2-4-1 R ). Earlier had seen my first SBB Ae6/6 at Luzern..what a sight that was ! School trips were different then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still guess there will be plenty of choice and variants..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clearwater Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 With 35006 due to steam soon, you'd have thought they might go for that. I don't have the list to hand of what they've modelled previously but, would seem to me to make sense to go for one they've not modelled in rebuilt form. Preferably one with an iconic name - Cunard springs to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted July 4, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 4, 2015 I thought they were doing the first batch of locos, with the widows peak front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clearwater Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I'm not an expert here but first 10, 1941/42 construction includes CanPac (surely a popular choice) as well as my suggestions of Cunard White star and p&o. Would also include 21C9 (35009) Shaw Savill. Given the latter's chequered history as one of the last to leave Barry and it's current uncertain future, would be a nice way to highlight the original's glory days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not transferred to Nine Elms until 14/06/1959 according to this source - http://www.brdatabase.info/locoqry.php?action=locodata&type=S&id=118533&loco=35028 In other words at the same time the first phase of the Kent Coast electrification scheme went ahead. I myself actually spotted it on a summer trip to Tonbridge in 1958. It was then the only MN not underlined in my ABC so it was a red-letter day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the latter's chequered history as one of the last to leave Barry and it's current uncertain future, would be a nice way to highlight the original's glory days Hornby's CAD image only really resembles 21C1 and 21C2 and even those only for a short period before they began to receive numerous detail modifications in the light of operational experience. 21C3 - 21C10 differed from the first two from new, most notably in the non-metallic material used for the casing which required a prominent bracing rib half way up. The initial pair (and, indeed, all of the early batch) were regularly retro-fitted with revised features following their introduction on later locos.
