WD1995

My ones have just arrived and am just giving the first one a run in, it's quite whiney and squeeky so had a look inside to see no oil or grease. All lubed up now for further running in but may be worth having a quick gander inside to check yours. Other than that what a lovely loco, very impressive livery application and glad they have darkened the Longmoor Blue down.

The photo is in Longmoor Military Railway volume 2

Definitely Gordon and Longmoor for me, just need to finish the coaches I have for the LMR and source a LSWR invalid saloon

Really looking forward to this one, an 01 has been on the list for a while and the lack of painting skills I have for fully lined SECR has always stopped me from trying any kit of it. I wonder if this makes the SECR the first company to have all of their preserved locomotives available in one way or another ready to run. With the C - D - H - Ps - N and now the 01 it would be interesting to know for sure.

Aha thank you for that, touch wood they would have picked up on it then. If not I'll get the paint out :D For the big railguns (13.5' + 18') they used some Southern Diesels and the LMS jackshaft ones as they were down by the coast. The 13.5 guns being all down by Dover and the 18' up by Bishopsbourne. The smaller guns such as 9' were sometimes pulled the Pannier fitted Dean Goods of which there is a few good videos in 'the home front war years' series of railway DVDs, 1944-45 being the one with the railway guns in.

I've put my order in before all the Longmoor ones sell out, very glad to be having a proper Class 11 instead of the Bachmann 08. In regards to the Longmoor one will the front steps be painted black and the axle springs blue (or black, hard to tell which one on my photos)

It does look surprisingly similar to the one your SR stock is running on 😆

The new coach pack arrived the other day so I took them down the club for a session with my LSWR locos, they are rather tasty

Hopefully they will have prices soon, there's at least 2 I will have for sure but depending on the price maybe a couple more

Hello, does anyone happen to have a copy of the instructions for the DJH C2X to spare? Thanks all, George

I think at the moment they are only in the magazine, no doubt the website will be updated after the samples have been signed off

They're looking pretty good, couple there I'd definitely have. Lets hope that as they meant to be limited to 300 a piece they won't have a stupidly high price tag, seems like a rather low number to recover the costs of producing it but I shall wait and see.

I have the two Rails grey ones and they are both the same shade, going by the photos on their website one was a lighter shade which I thought would be for Wainwright era and the other darker for the Maunsell era. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can shed some light for us as it has boggled me

I'm glad there's been an update on these, looking forward to getting a couple when they come out. Going by those samples they will certainly be detailed

I've had to send my one back to Hornby for repairs as it was making a horrible noise, when e-mailed I was told it was a particular model the QC team wanted to look at so it must be a somewhat common issue. Bit of a shame for Christmas but will hopefully be rectified. Lovely looking model though, shame about the trailing pony though, bald wheels and no movement just doesn't look right. I've noticed it on a few newer locos now, strange they did it on the new Merchant Navy when the old one had a pivoting pony. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and have a even better New Year
