VESPA Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Non of the Hornby rebuilt Scots were ever made tender drive. Sadly as much as I love Scots this model looks wrong around the chimney. I have a couple of other makers in rebuilt and unrebuilt forms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazy Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hi vespa I agree with you upto a point when the scots were release hornby did get the chimney wrong but this was quickly corrected by the second year as there was a bit of a fuss made. And as a out of the box it is one of the best lms locomotive around. Even if you you still not happy with the chimney you can replace it with the brassmasrter detailing kit. Which most of mine have had done. If hornby were to make a change that it be horrible tander base lip that ruins the tender base body lime. Also can we have the right bogei wheels for the patirot scot black 5 coronation and royals. Moan over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I really fancy a rebuilt Scot but whenever I think about it they seem to be out of stock everywhere or only available DCC with sound. One day I'll get my timing right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazy Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Have you tried ebay there's a lot on there and many are from shops new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Where have you seen any with DCC sound, WTD? That's what I'm looking for. There are loads on eBay just DCC ready or fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDS Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 What a great link. Thank you. I think the tender driven one I had seen was not a Hornby. I want to buy a new one, DCC ready or fitted but one that is the closest (Colour etc) to 46118 and therefore would be the easiest to make look like 46118.

walkingthedog Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Sorry Graskie you always say you only run DCC with sound and that you have a couple of rebuilt Royal Scots. I put 2 and 2 together and made 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Well, I still have a load of non-sound locos, including those two Royal Scots, WTD, and will either be replacing them as and when with sound versions or having sound fitted, or even just disposing of them.

walkingthedog Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I shall await your decision Graskie. I did find one with sound on google converted by Olivia's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDS Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Hi WTD, Yesterday I managed to purchase, brand new from a dealer in Cumbria, Royal Scot number 46117 (R3085). It is DCC ready. My hope now, is to be able to obtain the items required to convert it to number 46118. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Just tested my latest purchase. It's a 2 car Midlands DMU fitted with directional lights and sound. Great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDS Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hi WTD, Just name and numbers will do for me. I just want to have the Loco I have a picture of, with my Grandad (a Train Driver) in the cab at Blackpool Central Station. I would then like to be able to purchase some carriages that would have been pulled behind the Royal Scot, Any ideas what carriages they may have been, including item numbers for Hornby or Blue Box models would be appreciated.

VESPA Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I have left you a link for the items you require in a previous post about 4 back. Regarding coaches, if BR days then BR Mk1's if LMS days then Hornby Midland coaches. Both Hornby and the other maker do MK1's You will need them with M prefix numbers in BR days.

VESPA Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I have just had a thought. What crest is in the tender? Early or late? This may help more in your choice of coaches. All your BR period coaches should be either maroon with M numbers eg M5002 or red and cream with M numbers. Those older coaches in BR midland days ie from LMS ownership will have an extra M after the number. eg M1501M. If your Grandad was in the photo after 1964 then you cold slip in a BR Mk2 in maroon or an odd BR mk1 in blue and grey. I can't list R numbers or the other makers cat numbers but you can look under coaches above in the menu for Railroad MK1. Most are not yet available. Please get back with the year of the photo. The train sounds like a fast Blackpool- London Euston express that would stop at several main stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 The Modelmaster renumbering/naming kit has the numbers on a green or clear background. The green version covers the old number so you don't need to remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VESPA Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Blackpool Central closed to passenger traffic in 1964 so forget the blue and grey coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graskie Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I've just accidentally noticed something which others might not have done on this forum. It's very useful. If you click on a latest entry on the home forum pages, it takes you to that thread's last page straightaway, rather than having to work through a thread towards its end. You can then work backwards from that if you wish to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkingthedog Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I can't read this thread any more, since Vespa did the mega link the thread is minute and only on the very left of the screen.
