Fay Sets the Pace

Awesome news. Thank you, Hornby!

Now I can buy both "Fishbourne" and "Gipsyhill" the Terrier I would be really like next is a model of "Fishbourne" in later BR livery after its return to the mainland to work the Hayling Island branch as No. 32650. The ex-IoW Terriers retained their larger coal bunkers after their return.

So much for the cattle truck, let's start speculating as to the identity of the loco cab being painted in the bottom of the blog!

Full fat SECR liveried Wainwright H ?

Sheena Easton made a pop video singing from the running plate of the Bluebell's Radial Tank.

Now that would make for an original sound option!

Nothing much wrong with that stud. The Brighton was a tank-engine railway by and large, all the way up to Baltics on the heaviest main line trains. The I2 is interesting. And having had the SECR C Class and LSWR 700, might a C2x hove in sight in my lifetime?

I would rather have a C2X than a H2. One with the second dome to accommodate Lawson Billinton's boiler top feed apparatus, and lots of grime too :-

Hi Dave,

Having brought both W24 'Calbourne' and W16 'Ventnor', can I ask if you are able to say whether Kernow will produce more Isle of Wight Adams O2s with different names/numbers in the future?

Also, has DJM considered making the definitive OO Gauge Terrier? The Hornby model is very long in the tooth and the coal bunker is wrong for the engines modified whilst on the Isle of Wight.

The riveted piece on the right of Hornby's photo would need to be part of the sliding roof hatch bit and unfortunately it doesn't look much like that.

The riveted seam on the right of Hormby's photo is still there in the Bluebell photo (below). It is partially hidden by the white cloth next to the tea mug, but can be seen to the left of the handle of the green power drill when you zoom in.

ndg910's link includes a photo (link below) of the cab roof of the Wainwright H nos. 263 being painted at the Bluebell Railway in January 2010. To my mind it looks pretty convincing that the new model is the Wainwright H, which makes me very happy.

There are a number of pictures in today's Engine shed blog only one of which is actually stated as being a teaser for something from the 2017 range...

Assuming that the picture shows a top down view of the back of the cab and coal bunker of a tank locomotive, then the two features that stand out are the raised lip along the back of the cab roof and the row of rivets either side of the metal seam in the cab roof, which, using the handly placed ruler, are about 1.10m from the back of the cab. This distance is almost the same as the trailing wheel diameter of the Wainwright H (of 3 ft 7 in).

This picture (linked below) shows the only preserved Wainwright H, no. 263, with the raised roof lip and a roof seam the same distance from the back of the cab as the diameter of the trailing wheels, so I will go with the Wainwright H. But how and when will Hornby tell us for sure, though, Graham?

The larger IoW coal bunker makes a nice variation for locomotives that returned to the mainland.

W9 Fishbourne spent much of its time on the Hayling Island Branch as BR No. 32650 with the larger IoW bunker.

As a delighted owner of both No. 40 Brighton and Southern 2644, it is a pity that out of all the IoW Terriers (see table below), Dapol will be making a model of W9 Fishbourne, the Terrier with the shortest association with the Isle of Wight ( http://Dapol.co.uk/i...31#.Vg5KUvlViko ).

Given the work put into the tooling for the extended IoW bunker, why not go the extra distance and make a model of one of the two Terriers preserved at Haven Street?

Just found a picture in the Terrier book of Clapham newly repainted in its LSWR livery complete with condensing gear. Hopefully my loco should be here tomorrow. It will run in LBSCR livery until I paint my two LSWR Beattie well tanks when it will become LSWR No.735.

 

Any one recommend a DCC sound chip suppler?

Fascinating picture of 2644; can I ask where it was taken?

 

If you want to see the sort of Terrier us coarse-scalers are running, have a look at my thread as linked below.

 

BTW, Dapol have got the brake blocks right on the Stroudley livery ones. I think that only the last few had iron brake-blocks from new, "Crowborough" for instance, and the rest were converted as time went by, so dating ones layout to match "Waddon" as supplied by Dapol might be an important question. Coarse-scale Terriers don't have brake-blocks, so layout-dating us less of a challenge.

The picture is taken from the Hayling Island bay platform of Havant Station. You can find the white building with the arch behind the loco coal bunker on Google Streetview at 24 Waterloo Road, Havant.

First of the O2s (Black Southern and early BR) are on the ship 'Hyundai Victory'  details in the Kernow news letter.  'Hyundai Victory' can be tracked as before with the well tank. Currently well out of Hong Kong but a long way to go yet.

Smart idea to stagger the release of both 'Calbourne" and "Ventnor" by a month. I have them both on pre-order, along with the Dapol 'O' gauge Terrier and the OOWORKS LBSCR livery I3 - all of which, like buses, look to be arriving together.
