Who can resist a bit of Scottish Sulzer

Just been catching up on your blog and must say, looking really nice there Andy. You start to forget how small your modelling in, then the shot with pin vice and tweezers, brings it back to reality. Love the 3/4 shot of it parked in the sidings, giving me some inspiration to get my layout finished this Summer. Cheers Trevor

Headcode boxes were fitted a couple of inches lower, but It probably wouldn't even be noticeable in 2mm Will drop you a pm.

Something to be careful of If doing D6323, It had both cabs rebuilt after collision damage, the headcode boxes sat a little lower and put everything else slightly out of position to the rest of the batch. Shouldn't be a problem and an excellent choice.

I'm sure after a few days work the yellow looked a bit better. Couple of things of note looking at 6123 in GFY. It has lost Its rotating vent, which I have never notice before and Its also gained a BR green lower side grill on the upper light green Probably just a typo error, certainly never appeared in GFY.

Nice to see a class 27 so far South. If you believe the rumours, 85B will receive some class 22's later this year and that eventually all the class 27's will be sent to Scotland

You could be right, I know it was a long time ago. Pete is still on RMweb, so if it was his work it could well turn up again Edit: It was Pete and I just checked his fotopic site http://ardleybridge.fotopic.net/c964391.html

I think he did and wasn't their some drawings floating about on what it could of looked like, maybe that was Pete as well, I can't remember now.

D6112 was sent to Colchester as well, some 7 months before D6123. And after spending well over a year at Colchester, was returned to Scotland still with It's MAN engine, It would continue to be kept in store around Glasgow and finally received It's Paxman engine at Glasgow Works in 1966, some 4 1/2 years after been in store. All the other class 29s were rebuilt and fitted with Paxman engines at Glasgow and Inverurie Works, without checking I believe Inverurie did six conversions. Around the same time of the class 29 conversions, many class 21's would be getting their MAN engines refurbished. This Included some locos that had been allocated for class 29 conversion, but for whatever reason found not to be suitable and others would be chosen instead. The oddest one been D6109, which had the bodywork done for a class 29 at Inverurie, but had It's original MAN engine refitted. The oddest conversion though would of been, the plan to convert the first 38 class 21's to a single cab loco, D6130 entered NBL at Queens Park in 1962 for assessment, thankfully NBL wound up that year, otherwise we could of seen some strange looking cl20's.

A class 21 did receive the rain gutters and was D6152, this was the only one I have seen, although their could of been others, but doubtful. As BD mentions D6123 was the only class 29 to carry headcode discs and as you mention Andy, It didn't carry rain gutters over either the extra fitted grilles, nor the original centre grilles. D6123 also had the grill hinges in the same place as other class 29s You are correct BD D6123 never received the white stripe when first in TTG livery, but was added in 1965, at the same time the wipers were moved to the same position as other class 29s. It also received full yellow fronts c1970/71. Hope this helps Trevor.

Good to see this back Bryn. Once over the hurdle with that 3 way and I'm sure things will start to progress rather nicely

Bernard, I'd be very interested to hear on progress, if you go forward with this. Trevor.
