After which she spend time in Brighton works and gained the additional grills. The large grille at the bottom appears to have been an early addition if not from new; photo of it on Camden Bank dated 7 Nov 1950 in MLI 185 features that as does a 12 Aug 1952 from new, the smaller grille above it was added and later amended to be sat across an otherwise raised circular piece of bodywork (1961 photo). In a 1955 photo at Birmingham New Street the small grille is not visible, hidden by a headcode disc.

paul 27 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) Been waiting for this to be released though not my area of interest did it ever venture north of Birmingham. Edited February 26, 2022 by paul 27 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagonmaster Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 23 hours ago, The Stationmaster said: You missed out the words 'post-war' as nobody has done, or even announced, the 1933 Armstrong-Whitworth 1-Co-1 'Universal' 800hp diesel electric - the first main line diesel loco to run in Britain. Admittedly it had a very short life of trial running but it probably did far more miles hauling trains than DHP1 ever managed even including light engine mileage (not difficult I know) Although there are not any RTR models of the Armstrong-Whitworth D9 diesel, JCL on here has posted some files for a 3D print of one in 4mm scale. I have one, but not completed it yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about D2999 - though I've a feeling that there may be a kit around; am I correct? CJI. Yes, you're right, there is. Judith Edge Kits produces a kit of D2999 with alternative parts for industrial versions. The kit would even make D9998. Below is my model of D2999.

Wagonmaster Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Another prototype no-one has mentioned yet are the Southern Railway electrics, later BR Class 70 numbered 20001-3. These lasted until the early 1970's and were even painted in Corporate Blue livery. I am surprised it has taken Heljan so long to produce 10800. It seemed a logical follow on from their Class 15 and Class 16 produced quite a few years ago. The same chassis probably could have been used. The Dave Alexander white metal kit made up well, as did all his kits. If there is a sudden glut of unmade kits on a well known Internet auction site, it could be a cheaper alternative. My version runs on two Tenshodo SPUD's, is DCC fitted and lights. Edited April 15, 2022 by Wagonmaster Reinstating photo 7 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone would think the manufacturers were getting ready to showcase their latest efforts at a major model railway exhibition... We are living through strange times, with unusual choices of prototypes, DHP1, GT3, gas turbines, Jones Goods, E2001, 10800, whatever next, a Bulleid / Raworth Southern Electric class 70 "Hornby" ?

No, not a prototype as in 'one off' locos such as Falcon, Lion, Kestrel etc. A prototype as in the 'real thing' as opposed to a model. In the same way say Bachmanns Class 47 is a model of the real thing and looks 'prototypical'. Does that make any sense? I think you know what I mean. I would have thought the Class 70's would have been produced by now with their long lives and numerous liveries from Southern Railway green as CC1 etc. up to Banger Blue. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi John, I think I do have a photo of D9998 somewhere. I'll try and dig it out for you. If I remember correctly, it didn't carry the number and was painted orange. I believe it spent some time at Gloucester Docks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
