  1. Agreed. Can’t find any others. Edit: I did find this on Hattons but you can see the color difference between the two tenders. If the link works https://www.hattons.co.uk/439764/Hornby_R2906Loco_PO_Class_A4_4_6_2_4484_Falcon_in_LNER_Blue_Pre_owned_renumbered_renamed_and_reliv/StockDetail.aspx
  2. Sounds good, thanks for the help, so far :p I feel bad that I’m going to renumber 4491 to 4496, oh well. I’ll just buy another one later on
  3. Hold up, doesn’t the picutre way above of Golden Shuttle have a regular corridor tender? Not the one with the bead Also, wouldn’t UoSA be incorrect, even if I would paint that area black on the tender, cuz it is missing that beading? Also also, wouldn’t a Bittern tender be the correct color and beading? Or is there something I’m just not seeing with the tenders? EDIT: Ignore this, I got my tenders backwards. EDIT #2: Using the Commenwealth of Australia A4 (which sucks since it is a anniversary A4) I would need to paint the handrails to be correct for Golden Shuttle?
  4. Yes, I do know that at least. Hopefully renumbering them will go easily. I do have a Hornby RR Golden Shuttle to test this upon before doing the actual models.
  5. The knobs? And thanks for the tip with the handrails
  6. So the air pipe and vacuum pipe need to be added in both front and back, but because of the coupling there can only be the vacuum pipe on the tender?
  7. Would I need to add these pipes on the tender as well?
  8. Ok, now I understand, thank you, any good places to buy these pipes?
  9. I’m trying to make Sir Nigel and UoSA in preserved condition though?
  10. Thank you! Any good links for repainting handrails and/or re-numbering locos with Fox Transfers? So I wouldn’t need to add air brake hoses since they are in preservered condition, correct?
  11. So would the Great Gathering/Goodbye Union of South Africa tender be incorrect since the top of the beading is not painted black? For modern BR Green Double chimneys; Guillemot, Sparrowhawk, Bittern, Dwight and South Africa, Woodcock, and Golden Plover. Just for you for future, some do have warning flashes.
  12. Well I do have Mallard as preserved r3676, Woodcock r2535 (South Africa), Great Gathering Dominion of Canada, (preorder) Bittern r3771, (preorder) BR Blue Mallard r3737 (Sir Nigel Gresley.) And now r3095 for Golden Shuttle. For Dwight, I’ve found r2896 (Sir Ronald Matthews) and r2721 (Sparrow Hawk) Would all of these be good for their real life counter parts?
  13. Could you show me the difference between these two tenders? Would that make the Dominion of Canada loco tender incorrect as well?
  14. Which is what Kingfisher is, a single chimney, with a corridor tender. Herring Gull is also a single chimney, but doesn't have a corridor tender.
  15. Alright. Golden Shuttle just needs a streamlined corridor tender, which can be taken off of many Hornby LNER Blue models. In the end, if I would buy a Hornby LNER Kingfisher, renumber and add the sliver bottom trim, I will be golden.
  16. So looking at this link, that makes Golden Shuttle have a Steamlined corridor tender N°5651. Where would I find this tender in model form?
  17. Yes, sorry. I want the six A4's in preservations to look like how they did in the Great Gathering. For Golden Shuttle, I would like it too look like it did in June 1938. LNER Blue with silver letters, and red backing for the name plates? EDIT: Added colored photo for reference for Golden Shuttle
  18. Just really staring out with modeling. I have noticed and heard people talking about different A4 tenders, besides the corridor/non-corridor. I'm slowly working on gathering up the six A4's in preservation (by not buying all of the Great Gathering/Goodbye locos). So far I have R3676 LNER Mallard, R3197 Dominion of Canada, and R2535 Woodcock. I also have R3771 LNER Bittern and R3737 BR Blue Mallard on pre-order. I'm planning on renumbering Woodcock to Union of South Africa, and BR Blue Mallard to Sir Nigel Gresley. I still need to buy one for Dwight. I also plan on buying LNER Kingfisher, re-numbering it, and adding the silver trim to make Golden Shuttle. My question is, how can you tell the difference between the right era tenders? Would these models work for what I'm trying to do?
