Edwardian Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Anyhow and slightly drifting off topic. So, TMC/Bachmann have announced a G5. And a great choice that is. Especially with it's link to the railway very near TMC and because of the building of a full size replica. However, I would have thought that a J27 was a much more saleable prospect. Does this mean that someone else already has the J27 in their sights? Yes, I would have thought one of the NE 0-6-0 classes must come soon; C, P or P1, or P2. However, the P3 is a bit too modern for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted February 25, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 25, 2018 Chaps, there's already an rtr pre-grouping thread and an rtr North Eastern thread. Can we please keep the frothing out of this one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted February 25, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 25, 2018 I will stick with my kit built one. It was built by my father and I painted and weathered it and I have it now..not at some date in the future! Baz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted February 25, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2018 Very pleased the G5 is coming, hope that is sells well. I can't quite decide which of the first 3 models to go for. Visits to both TMC and the G5 builders will make nice Spring trips out from my location. I hadn't realised TMC had a retail operation until recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 ...I hadn't realised TMC had a retail operation until recently. Or in my case that the 'T' no longer meant 'Trafford', and that they had said retail operation located not 15 miles from relatives on the North York moors whom we visit frequently. No use for a G5, but their plates now... Looking forward to my spring visit too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) They sell crockery? Seriously though: where are the best on-line photos of these locos at work in LNER days? Kevin Edited February 25, 2018 by Nearholmer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom F Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 What wonderful news! A question for TMC, how easy would the hopper be to remove, should you want a variant with coal rails but with Westinghouse pump and no push pull apparatus? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Actually, can I narrow down my previous question? Does anyone know of a photo of 1882 working in the London area pre-WW2? From what I can work out, it was allocated to Stratford from c1938. Thanks in advance for any pointers, Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad McCann Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Right. Which of these configurations, best suits 67268 in 1954? My knowledge of NE type variations is still very patchy. D4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Shaw Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Kevin Yeadon Vol 38 has a good photo of 1882, probably at Stratford, but certainly London. The engine went to Stratford on 12th Jan 1939. Regards Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can work out, it was allocated to Stratford from c1938. Thanks in advance for any pointers, Kevin During our research we found quite a few photographs of 1882, later 7279 and finally 67279. Yeadons Register has 3 photographs all in its Stratford days, but you will also find photographs online on the Disused Stations website of 67279 at work on the Saffron Walden branch. One of the Yeadons photographs is taken in January 1939 which was the month it was transferred to Stratford. All the best, Alex 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Marvellous, thank you. I will look in the strange (to a southern fan) books. Unfortunately, it is much more likely to result in the purchase of an 0 scale one than yours. Thanks again, Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A question for TMC, how easy would the hopper be to remove, should you want a variant with coal rails but with Westinghouse pump and no push pull apparatus? Regarding conversions of bunker types I'm afraid we will have to wait for EP samples before commenting on how the various types of bunker will be manufactured. However your question highlights an interesting point about the G5, our research showed in excess of 30 combinations of livery and detail differences.

I'll need to hang fire on preordering. I'm looking at examples that worked the Northallerton-Hawes Branch, and it seems a large number had westinghouse pumps, but coal cage (no hopper) in my photos. I would have suspected that the hopper would slot into the existing bunker design and should be fairly easy to remove, but we will have to wait and see.

Frond Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I would like to order one of these but I was wondering if someone could clarify which, if any, of the proposed engines ran on the Epping and Ongar line. This is my nearest preserved line and I would prefer to get one of "their" engines if possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my nearest preserved line and I would prefer to get one of "their" engines if possible. There is a Great Eastern Area loco included in our G5 models. No 67322 [35-257Z] first went to Stratford shed in August 1938 as no 2093 becoming 7322 in 1946 and 67322 in March 1951. It stayed at Stratford until July 1951 when it moved to Cambridge. Whilst at Stratford its duties would have included working both the Epping - Ongar and Palace Gates - Seven Sisters services. All the best, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iltman Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Well I’ve pre ordered a green example, even though I believe sunshine comes soonest in the south it’s an attractive engine and I’ll just run a ‘funny’ train! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ady77014 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Well I struggling. I want to order one but I'm not sure which one to go for. Possibly 67342. However I am very pleased to see this model being announced. Last year I had become very despondent with my modelling. Various failed projects which never worked how I hoped, and a points failure which means I will have to some point rip out my fiddle yard. Also my wish to do a bit of Great Eastern Region fell down flat after the total waste of time of the F5 project, so I decided to sell off all of the GE region stock I had collected including the one Hornby J15 (plus all of my renumbering attempts) so I could have some money for holiday and buy the new ex. SECR Birdcages that came out. But I held off selling the three non-corridor LNER coaches I had just encase something came up. And it has! That together with the new J72 would be something at least. Something new to do, and look at and read about. Well done TMC!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les1952 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I've had a G5 for some time... Seriously, it is nice to know No Place will get another 0-4-4 tank it can't really justify, though it is more appropriate than the O2 currently running on the line. The only question is which one? Also nice to know I'll not have to have another session of combing Yeadon and other books to find one that ran with a boiler with the dome in the wrong place.... "Son of No Place" - ie the OO layout that will follow N-gauge Croft Spa will definitely be set in the NE Region (and most likely have a couple more G5s as well).
