    Mick, That's the one! Stylish. Regards, Roy

    Mick, Ken Hoole's Illustrated History of NER Locomotives says "although they were included in Class S they were often referrred to as Class S/07 (a bit like the V/09 Atlantics, which also had narrow splashers), the suffix indicating the date of the modified drawings". So I was wrong about the year and it seems an informal classification anyway. He includes a lovely picture of 2008 in NER lined black, which I can't add for copyright reasons. Regards, Roy

    Thanks - B13s, like the Worsdell Atlantics, look best with the narrow splashers. Regards, Roy

    Great picture! Not at home so not confident, but S09?

    David, I love those pictures of the Newcastle and Carlisle! Regards, Roy

    David, That Y7 is a little beauty! I guess that on the Polesworth shot the up and down fast lines are widely separated? Regards, Roy

    Mick, Lovely picture! Regards, Roy

    Les, Of course - makes sense. Regards, Roy

    Les, Have you considered Finetrax for Croft Spa? Regards, Roy

    Mick, Yes, that's the one, though cropped differently - it doesn't show as much of the loco behind, but does show both front buffers, strangely enough. Regards, Roy

    Phil, RCTS Part 6C, Figure 61, opposite Page 61, shows 2510 (H&B 129) at Springhead, dated 1925, with a domeless belpaire boiler, a smokebox door with a very flat edge and 3 dog clips on the bottom edge of the door. Regards, Roy

    Mick, A good-looking locomotive. Somehow inside motion, whilst a nightmare for the fitters and crews, adds to the looks. You could see Union Mills turning out one of these - several 8-coupled locos have been produced already. Regards, Roy

    Les, Agree on the Thompsons - the market might be saturated, but there isn't (other than kits) a convincing set of East Coast stock for the 1950s - and Thompson's carriages ooze style, in my opinion. Solid progress on the J72 would be welcome, but realistically it must be a year or more away. Regards, Roy

    Mick, The cab panel looks very light - RCTS says the livery was "invisible green" panelled in broad blue with narrow vermillion borders, so the cab and tender sides should look the same, I guess (which they don't). Also, there are no dog clips on the lower edge of the smokebox door - these were removed by Darlington works from 1924, RCTS says. Regards, Roy

    Nice looking model - I like the profile of the original NER dome cover. According to RCTS Part 6C, this locomotive received the tender from C7 2169 (continuous coal rails and oval frame slots) in October 1934, in exchange for its own original 4125 gallon self trimming tender (of the variety with coal rails "sawn off" at the back of the coal space). However, it's perfectly possible that it had a further tender change (to a 3940 gallon tender as modelled) in the period of your model. Regards, Roy

    Mick, I'd be interested in others' views on the locomotive in this shot. I'd guess a NER 4-4-0 because of the apparent curve of the splashers. It looks as if there is something on the footplate either side of the smokebox, which suggests NER Class M1 (D17/1) as built with outside steam chests or the solitary 3CC (D19) as rebuilt in 1898, but the buffer beam number doesn't look to start with 16? Both classes were shedded at Botanic Gardens at the right time. Regards, Roy

    Arthur, Here's a 3038 gallon tender with 65033 - clearly much smaller than that currently with 1621. I've made no study of tender brake rods, but oddly enough, 65033's tender has the outside rodding you describe for 3940 gallon varieties, as do the 3038 gallon tenders in figures 66 and 72 of RCTS Part 3C For additional evidence compare figures 66 and 67 in RCTS Part 3C showing both types of tender (3038 and 3940 gallon) with 1621. Regards, Roy

    Arthur, I think we agree on many points, but look at the attached pictures of 1621 (with a 3940 gallon tender) and 63395 (with a tender that at least has the height of a 4125 gallon tender whatever the capacity). Pictures of 63395 both immediately before and immediately after preservation show a tender of comparable height and for a modeller it's the apparent size that's important. Regards, Roy

    Mick, As you can see, this is NER Class 3CC (LNER D19) number 1619. Looks like a Z Atlantic at extreme right, so after July 1911, anyway. Regards, Roy
  23. R Marshall
    Mick, I think this is a NER Class S, one of the first batch 2001 - 2010. Likely the last of that batch 2010, looking at the number plate. Another cracking shot! Regards, Roy

    Mick, A 7mm layout of York will be something to see! And if you've got more York pictures of that quality, I look forward to them, hopefully, on here. What do you use for cleaning them up? It's rare that I can challenge a caption, but I've got pictures of a B16/2 near Northallerton - the caption says April 64, but there's too much foliage on the trees for April, I think - I reckon there are only buds in April at best. Regards, Roy

    Mick, 2018 is a NER Class R (you can make out the class on the front buffer beam), later D20 62347. Only one D19 (NER 3CC) was built - 1619. I reckon you were just testing us. Stunning picture though! Regards, Roy
