from BR Database, the following was recorded as workings for D6123: 13/08/1963 Sightings Worked the Aston - Gushetfaulds "Condor" throughout from Birmingham to Glasgow 3/08/1963 Sightings Worked the Gushetfaulds - Aston "Condor" throughout to Birmingham 21/08/1963 Sightings Worked the Aston - Gushetfaulds "Condor" throughout from Birmingham to Glasgow 21/08/1963 Sightings Worked the Gushetfaulds - Aston "Condor" throughout to Birmingham And so there appears to be evidence of these "Scottish" machines working the WCML.

Just a reminder that Revolution Trains are taking expressions of interest for N Gauge models https://www.revolutiontrains.com/class-2129/ From 1958-60 the North British Locomotive Co. built 58 type 2 Bo-Bo diesels, later given the TOPS code Class 21. The first 38 went to the Eastern region; the remainder to Scotland. Soon all were transferred north of the border. Due to reliability problems 20 locomotives were re-engined in the mid 1960s and designated Class 29. This improved their performance but all were withdrawn by 1972. Those locomotives converted to Class 29 received a new Paxman engine and a two-tone green livery. A 4-character headcode box was also fitted to all except D6123. Our models will feature appropriate detailing and lights. Class 21: When introduced all locomotives were in plain green, with disc indicators and nose connector doors. From the early 1960s half-yellow warning panels were added. Our model depicts the first 38 with cabside droplights and no tablet catchers. Class 29: The 20 locomotives converted to Class 29 emerged from works in two-tone green. All except one were fitted with 4-character centre headcode boxes. They were also given a revised yellow warning panel and, later, full yellow ends. A handful were painted blue; with the BR totem on the cabside or the doors. 6129 Eastfield.

The Class 21/9 locomotives are an attractive choice, and with the Farish Class 24 & 25, Dapol Class 26 & 27 and the forthcoming DJM Class 17 “Clayton” will complete the roster for numerous N Gauge Scottish layouts. For a short-lived class they had a surprising number of liveries, and we are hoping to design the tooling so that certain idiosyncracies of particular individual locomotives can be depicted. We have decided to work with Dapol on this project as they have already produced the very well regarded North British Class 22 locomotive. Although these locomotives were shorter and had different engines and bogies the cab ends were virtually identical, so we are confident they will be able to capture the character of these locomotives well and incorporate distinctive features such as the spoked wheels. If you’d like to see this model produced please declare your interest here. No money will be taken. We need 1200 orders to proceed, so please don’t delay!

You've also missed off the Mallaig extension. Also photographic evidence of workings through Hadley Wood, Hornsey, Harringay West, King's Cross

10% in three days is an excellent outcome. I have expressed interest in 2 x 21 and 2 x 29 Hope the London and EA modellers get behind this one as well as Scottish modellers. Scope for WCML too. Well done guys, hope this is as successful as your previous endeavours.

JUST NEED TO CONVINCE THEM TO DO THEM IN N GAUGE AS WELL

N Gauge - BR Std 6 Clan Class - Anything "Caledonian" or "Highland" that made it into BR. e.g. Caledonian Jumbo Great for pick-up freight service. - Highland Railway Jones Goods 4-6-0 No. 103 - Pickersgill designed 4-4-0 No. 54485 or 54476 - BR Diesel Class 21/29 twin pack (1 motorised 1 not) For prototypical running!

Ditto in "N" Gauge

Potentially available in N gauge at some not too distant stage I hope...... :whistle:

I have been dabbling with Anyrail 5 with a view to creating a layout which imitates the 1953 arrangements at Gleneagles Station. A little poetic license has added a turntable and loco facility at the expense of the station masters house. I blame it on Peco Code 55 track.... http://www.arrachogaidh.eu/Compromise.jpg All track except the entry points to the fiddle yard are Code 55. the platform lengths work out about 90cm on the mainline and 70cm on the branch platform. Will this be enough for a decent rake of vehicles?

Just an hour to go..... Someone will get a big bargain here. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/N-Gauge-Layout-/321097079665?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item4ac2e09b71

Excellent news. What an adventure. Well done. BUT PLEASE the Livery is ScotRailas drummed into us by Chris Green!!
