Guardian Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Hi, the decoder is sitting in the rear tank: Oxford N7 LNER chassis with original ESU Loksound 5 micro The 8-pin socket version of the decoder is a generic Nest18 decoder with an 8-pin adapter, which is the default configuration.

Best, Mark Ah, thank you :) The flexi PCB is long enough and has bends in the right places to imply it sits on the motor, but no room! So when I chipped by DC one and shoved it under the bunker, I was spot on! Thanks again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM36 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) Now that Accurscale have announced a j69 model of the Liverpool st East side pilot, I wonder if Oxford rail could be tempted to do 69614 the West side pilot.

RMweb Premium Fair Oak Junction Posted December 7, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 7, 2023 Talking about Quints in the ECT Quad Art thread just reminded me, I still need to order works plates for my N7 from Narrow Planet. Does anyone know what the works number was for the preserved N7, 69621? Was it just it's GER number 999? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted December 8, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 8, 2023 If you are modelling it as preserved you'll need an extra one (apologies it's fuzzy :( ) I thought the worksplate on an N7 was on the bunker but if it was on 69621 it wasn't when I took these photos about 10 years ago 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Fair Oak Junction Posted December 8, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 8, 2023 Oh yes, I only learned about the newer works plate it carries the other day. But no I'm modelling it as in service so would only need an actual LNER works plate. My knowledge of LNER matters is not great, so I'm not sure what to put for the works number when I order it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pint of Adnams Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 As this was the last locomotive constructed at Stratford to a GER order but completed under the LNER, it would have had an LNER-style small works plate rather than the large former GER number plate. The number would have been either 999 or 999E, depending on when the plate was ordered - certainly it was ex-works in March 1924, 6 months after the introduction of the Area suffix letters, but also how Stratford conformed with that edict. See the photograph of 996E, from the same batch, on p3 of Yeadons's Register volume 27. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew about the plate style, but was unsure about the number so thanks for the handy info 👍 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
