Edge Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) Nice "Edge". Whose transfers did you use please ?Hey there, The letters are from the Microscale decals Navy style font Alphabet. There are lots of different sizes to use, and I’ve used the middle ones for the loco. The product code is ac48-0025 Edited April 21, 2018 by Edge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 They didn't. The handbrake standard was ran up through the left hand coal space. Another Andrew Barclay option. A good few Welsh AB's were delivered that way. P Thanks for that, I've not seen that particular photie before and just by the by other points to note are the coaming at the bottom of the left hand door to stop the coal falling out, [i've seen a similar photie of No.3 demonstrating that it was a right for the crew getting in and out too] and of course the sacks of coal stacked on the running plate.

Lu4472ke Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Ran my coronation this morning and as it went round bends it clicking, and the motor was really loud. rang Hattons and they said if I send it back they will send a replacement, so I've got it all parcelled up ready to be sent off.

DougN Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Well this side of the earth is still bereft of the little darings... yesterday here in Melbourne we had our monthly meeting of BRMA... and no one has seen a AB in the flesh! As I have joked before and was discussing with SRman at the meeting, and in the way home as we tend to carpool, are they to arrive on Monday or Thursday after ANZAC day? Just to annoy every one as we have some extra time available! Only the postie knows and what they are all doing together in the postal distribution centre... here in Melbourne or still stuck in Sydney... time will tell...

AB-Medalling©PwD-003-EditSm.jpg P Better you than me, but quite fascinating, especially with the unobscured view of the backhead detail. I can't help but notice that the rear of Kevin's cab is a bit bowed. Mine is very slightly off - but only if I peer very closely with a jaundiced eye [the one in the middle] and only at one side. Has your dissection offered a possible cause or is it just over tight packaging as has been suggested. For the record my handrails are perfectly straight, so basically no complaints.

As pointed out the third porthole is certainly not a preservation gimmick. One of the reasons why I ordered the Burnley version was precisely because it had that rear cab configuration with the combination of two "long" ports and a central round one as sported by Aberdeen Gas Works No.3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted April 22, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 22, 2018 Katie arrived last week , but I’ve just got round to giving her a test run. Very nice . Lovely wee smooth runner . Comparing her with the Peckett , they seem to be pretty evenly matched in terms of slow running speed. I think Katie’s probably got the edge on haulage , but to be honest they are perfectly adaquate for the loads they would reasonably have pulled in real life. Well done Hattons. Impressed .
