the penguin of doom Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Hi all. Hopefully this is in the correct section - I couldn't find any "Class 26/27 group" on the forum, so have posted here. I visited the KWVR diesel gala at the end of April, and since I am currently/imminently modelling 2 x class 26 and 1 x class 27 the prescence of 26 038 offered the opportunity of some good close up detail phot's. Just in case anyone else needs some detail shots, I have posted them here. If anyone else wishes to contribute, please feel free, but keep it relevent to the topic, Class 26/27 and perhaps Class 33. Cheers. Sean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'CHARD Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 What the upward windscreen shots really bring out is the very marked frown or eyelid over each screen, where the curve from the dome meets the three flat planes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the penguin of doom Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Thanks guys. I have some more of the cab interior, but I just didn't have time to upload them all. If anyone wants anything specific that isn't up there, let me know and I'll see if I snapped it. As for the eye brows, you're quite right Chard. I may even have been over subtle on my 27, but would have to double check both classes have exactly the same brows. Cheers. Sean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Triang Paul Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 That single tail markerlight looks like an eye on one of those lizards ! Brilliant. Belive 38 is for sale ? If i had the money i'd bring it down here......... . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the penguin of doom Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Thanks Paul and John. Paul, the locomotive was named after its restorer Tom Clift who, I believe, sadly passed away just as the restoration was completed. I am led to believe she is now up for sale though and IF this is the case, the new owner will get a smashing looking, (and sounding), loco! Cheers. Sean.

mike knowles Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Looks like it's fitted with the Shawplan fan grille and Pete Harvey bogie steps! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davknigh Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Brilliant! The pic of the snow shield on the horn vent is most useful. Thanks Sean Cheers, David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley West Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Looks like it's fitted with the Shawplan fan grille and Pete Harvey bogie steps! Yes, but the shape of the windows looks wrong to me. There's something not quite right about it. And the bogies don't look convincing to me either. Those secondary widget springs are incorrect for this particular loco too and the number of rivets on the roof panels had changed by the time they built this batch. I hope they correct all these glaring errors before they release the production version, otherwise I won't be buying one. Cheers, Dave Oh, if only I had the money...

the penguin of doom Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 That's funny Dave. I was chuckling for a good 5 minutes! Cheers. Sean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric & Gripper Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Good work "of doom" As noted above those window joinst look a complicated collection of edges for no apparent gain. Good luck with the 26. Best regards Eric & Gripper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold tractionman Posted June 30, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 30, 2013 Current issue of Modern Locomotives Illustrated (June - July 2013) is dedicated to 26s/27s.

brian daniels Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I have a set of detail pictures as well on my Flickr site to compliment these with some cab interior shots if you are trying to do a JLTRT 7mm one. https://www.flickr.com/photos/brianews/sets/72157627023077168/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the penguin of doom Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 I'll be taking a look there in due course Brian since a certain trio of, (Heljan), McRats have just about had all their exterior paintwork completed.

Luke Piewalker Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Here's the pictures I took of 27005 at Bo'ness earlier this year. Apologies for the out of focusness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the penguin of doom Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Thanks for posting Luke. One of my 3 McRats is a 27, and there are none really close by to me in Hull, (GCR is closest), so shots like this are very well received. Cheers. Sean.

Jon020 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Took a few more photos of 26038 at the weekend... and sorted a few into a set that I've just uploaded for reference.... as inspired by Brian Daniels' photo albums. https://www.flickr.com/photos/nimbus20/sets/72157647299465299/ Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
