    My whole point is that they should have ensured it was straight - why wasn't that shot taken immediately after the first one I wonder? And thank you Jason for your support.

    So Freedom of Speech is not an option then? I give praise where it is due - I have both emailed Hornby, and verbally thanked Simon Kohler at Glasgow, and mentioned it in other fora for offering the J36. We can all interpret things differently - I stand by my comments.
  3. DugaldDalgetty
    This seems to boil down to a question of standards. The top Hornby photo shows the left side coupling rods to be perfectly acceptably aligned. The bottom photo totally detracts from the top two and I certainly would not have released it in that condition. And, quite simply, that is the pity of it! There again we all have different standards .
  4. DugaldDalgetty
    Precisely! So what evidence is there that some people don't seem to realise that?
  5. DugaldDalgetty
    Upon what evidence do you base your statement?
  6. DugaldDalgetty
    What a pity they didn't check the coupling rod/wheel alignment on the bottom J36 photo.
  7. DugaldDalgetty
    It certainly was - see:http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/131534-hawick-coaling-stage/

    Thanks Ross - that is one of the few photos I have already managed to find. The RCTS photo PHW0903 and plate 120 of Roger Siviter's "Waverley" are the only others I have, but none of them show the rear. 'Somehow think I'm going to have to use Rule 1!

    Has anybody ever seen a photo of (or can recall having actually seen) the side of the "covered shed" structure running along the raised wagon line? Did the planking on that whole side structure drop all the way down to "ground" level, or was it similar to the side running along the loco coaling line (i.e. was it open-sided from "ground" level up to "coaling" level, with just the supporting structural timbers on view)?

    Those immortal words - "I wondered which one of you men would spot that one!"

    Are you discounting the D11/2? (Would have much preferred a D30!)
  12. DugaldDalgetty
    Looks like it's slipped back to August unfortunately. https://www.Hornby.com/uk-en/news/the-engine-shed/j36-class-and-all-the-latest-samples

    Here is 65331 at Hawick at the head of what seems to be a single coach - however the headlamp code suggests other than a passenger train, and the coach doesn't suggest Inspection Saloon. (I'm sorry that I do not know the pedigree of the photo, and if it's yours then apologies (now correctly spelt!) for not seeking permission,and congratulations on a lovely photo,)
  14. DugaldDalgetty
    Thank goodness for that! - perhaps a separate thread should be started for "Eras".
  15. DugaldDalgetty
    I totally agree - I simply cannot get excited about "new liveries", "new tooling" etc.. (I do however appreciate those comments to the effect of "not my cup of tea, but I'm pleased for you".) I crave genuine "new" models that have not appeared previously in any form, and am only so delighted that the J36 is being produced. May it be the first of many ex NBR/LNER to come!

    I've had a July date as well, (but never got an August one). I was very pleasantly surprised to see how far advanced the EP's are (Post 7) and look forward even more to what is available for viewing at Model Rail Scotland.
  17. DugaldDalgetty
    Only a J36 and/or D30 will jolt me into hastily looking for the combination code for my under-used wallet.
  18. DugaldDalgetty
    Thanks Alasdair - "better late than never" springs to mind with 1964! At least there's something to go on, thanks. Your referred to thread has prompted me to add a reference to the 1945 position.
  19. DugaldDalgetty
    Rather early perhaps, but there are 1945 Waverley Route coaching diagrams available at: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/BRCoachingStock/conversations/messages/8272

    A real godsend to interfere with modelling! http://www.siam.co.uk/conc5/index.php/products/windows-products/

    Many thanks for replies so far - coach number recording seems to have been virtually non-existent in those days - think I'll have to look out for the Harris book just to get the basic Sc info whether they worked the Waverley Route or not.
  22. DugaldDalgetty
    Has anyone got any records please of Gresley (both mainline and suburban) in the Sc series, and Mk1 coach numbers that ran on the Waverley Route in the 1950's?
  23. DugaldDalgetty
    As you will know from the DCV there were only 2 daily booked V2 workings each way in 1953. Of the 2 Up trains 575 was banked and 557 only 25 minutes later wasn't. Of the 2 Down trains 767 wasn't banked from Newcastleton but 618 some 61 minutes later was. I don't know what year is involved in the instances you quote, but it certainly explains why in 1953 you could have "conflicting" photos (albeit in the dark at 22.20 off Hawick). Why not go for 1953?! Alternatively perhaps later years' WTT's will clarify matters?

    I wrote to them in June 2016 pleading for a J36 & D30, and received the following reply: "Thanks you for your email. We’ve a planned release programme covering the next 5 years or so, but I’m afraid we never share that until we have moved into an advanced stage of development."

    Telerail Steam World Archive Experience Special Sample Programme - Special 3 (Bar Code 5 01939 110257) has a couple of minutes feature on the Waverley Route including a couple of trains passing by Hawick coaling stage.
