br2975 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 And all this before we check out the differing types of buffer fitted, sometimes different types on the front/rear of the same loco. . Then there are the diminishing number of lights fitted fore and aft,and those locos where the light fittings were left and just plated over. . Oh ! and those for BR(SR) with extra lights. . And I forgot ... those fitted with two vertical angle iron reinforcing strips adjcent to the rear cab windows. . Oh ! and did I mention those modified with knuckle couplers (initially to shunt HST vehicles). . Of course some locos had their whistles replaced with horns. . And also some had their compressor cabintes removed after accident damage, or conversion. . If ever there was a case of find a photo of your prototype ........................ . I know, Ive been thwarted a few times by modelling 08s . Brian R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve K Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 OK, then - here follow a few snaps of the preserved class 10 at the GCR in Loughborough. These were only taken using my mobile phone, but hopefully there's enough detail for the eagle-eyed among you to spot exactly why this isn't an 08 or 09! Because I've played about a bit with the original images to accentuate some details, the colour varies from snap to snap - for the record, the first and third photos seem to match my memory of how the paintwork looked: The last few to follow after the Simpsons !

Steve K Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Sorry - noticed there were 2 Dr Who episodes back-to back, or I'd have been back sooner! Where was I? Ah yes... 4 more shots of the 10, showing hinges, nameplate (not exactly original, that one, I realise) and toolbox, along with end views. Hope that someone finds them of some use: It was a dull day, and I couldn't get any closer than the limited digital zoom on my phone would allow, but I thought that, since you don't see a class 10 every day, it was worth recording a few details to - who knows? - maybe model it one day.

HullCityB17 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 One other variation that some Class 09's have which hasn't been mentioned here which needs confirming with prototype pictures is that some are fitted with extra cables at the cab end & I think at the nose end for shunting EMU's & possibly DMU's (MU cables). It is possible certain Class 08's may retain these cables if someone is modelling a Class 08 from Willesden or Crewe & uses the Modelzone 09019 as a base model as all the other Class 09 shunters I have seen modelled have not included the MU cables. I had originally intended to model 09001 but when I went to Doncaster before the loco left to go to Peak Rail, the un-numbered EWS shunter with MU cables that I thought was 09001 was another loco as the pictures of it at the Peak Rail look different. I hope to soon to go & confirm for myself that the loco has numbers on both sides before I can do my class 09 project. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRman Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hornby's grey 09 012 "Dick Hardy" model has the high-level pipes. They also did an 08 in Cotswold Rail colours withe high-level pipes but I don't know the number for that one.That will hopefully assist anyone looking to model the SR ones with the extra pipework.

My apologies... I did mean the original Southern Region Class 09's. I have now looked in my Traction Recognition Book by Colin J. Marsden, & this lists all the original Southern Region 09's incorporated waiste height air connections for coupling to EMU & DEMU stock i.e. 09001 - 09026. Pictured in the book are 09026, 09016, & LNWR Black 08830 at Crewe Works. The only Cotwold one pictured is 08871 but you cannot see the air connections.

TheReal08296 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I have now looked in my Traction Recognition Book by Colin J. Marsden, & this lists all the original Southern Region 09's incorporated waiste height air connections for coupling to EMU & DEMU stock i.e. 09001 - 09026. Pictured in the book are 09026, 09016, & LNWR Black 08830 at Crewe Works. The only Cotwold one pictured is 08871 but you cannot see the air connections. I would strongly advise taking anything written by that particular author with a rather large pinch of salt. 09024/09025 never received high level air pipes. As for the 09/1s and 09/2s, high level pipes were not added as part of the conversion, but those which had them as 08s retained them (initially, at least) as 09s. 09101, the former 08833, is one example.

RMweb Premium CloggyDog Posted March 15, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 15, 2014 Having spend much of the afternoon scanning in my 350/Jocko/Gronk* (delete as appropriate) photos, seems this might a good place to post the link up. Mostly taken between 1984 and 1990 on depot visits, railtours and just general spotting outings. Sadly my notebooks, containing exact dates and locations, have been misplaced over the years, but I've added the obvious locations. Hope they are of use.

RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted May 28, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 28, 2014 In the pre-TOPS numbering period, class 08s were listed in working timetables and in diagram books as having a top speed of 20mph, irrespective of whether vacuum, air or dual brakes were fitted. Sometime in the late 1970s this started to change and variants with a max speed of 15mph began to be listed in the diagram book, alongside the 20mph ones - 08-aV, 08-bX, and 08-cA. In the books by Platform 5 it stated that the SR allocated locos had a top speed of 20mph, with the remainder 15mph. So, does anyone know what the truth why the top speed was reduced, and why the SR locos were unaffected? Were there any actual mechanical changes between the two types?

HornbyA3Fan Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Did any 08's or 09's ever receive snowploughs at both ends during their working life? The reason I'm asking this, is because I thought of adding snowploughs to a Bachmann 08 of which I have done, and thought if any actually did.

royaloak Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 09s have a maximum speed of 27mph, they are geared differently to the 08s. All 08s are geared the same but some are allowed to run faster than others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Pannier Tank Posted June 3, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 3, 2014 09s have a maximum speed of 27mph, they are geared differently to the 08s. All 08s are geared the same but some are allowed to run faster than others. This is true, the original question though was: "why was the top speed reduced on the majority of the class and that some of the SR locos were unaffected?" and "Were there any actual mechanical changes between the two types?" In other words how/why were some of the class reduced in top speed yet others weren't? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words how/why were some of the class reduced in top speed yet others weren't? One of the reasons for the reduction in speed of 08s was the number of shifted cranks that was occurring. It was about this time that the move from keyed cranks to interference fitted cranks occurred. Regards Al Taylor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I'm asking this, is because I thought of adding snowploughs to a Bachmann 08 of which I have done, and thought if any actually did. Thanks There is a thread elsewhere about 08s with 3-piece miniature ploughs following the appearance of a pic on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/camperdown/8254457271/ http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/77289-a-shunter-puzzle-08s-with-miniature-snowploughs/&do=findComment&comment=1188302 General consensus/gist is that it was a local WR mod, restricted to South Wales and only fitted to the bonnet-end of the 08. There were also the permanent snowplough conversions that the ER trialled in the 1970s, using withdrawn early 08s in 2 batches (1973 and 1977, IIRC) which proved pretty useless and all withdrawn around 1979.
