LCDR Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 If you liked the real thing - Yes, it is a good looking model. Have only run it light on a rolling road so far, but it runs smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malB Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 My most recent addition is a Bachmann N.R.M. Great Northern Atlantic in G.N. livery as 251. They produce the loco in 3 colours; G.N., L.N.E.R. & B.R. So that makes two G.N. locos available their colours the other being the J52 also available in the three aforementioned colours [which I also have in G.N. colours]. So how about Hornby producing a Gresley A1 in G.N. colours, in this case 1471 Sir Frederick Banbury, as 1470[N] is available in early L.&.N.E.R. colours. 1471 being the second prototype and 1472 the first production version, that's still with us at the N.R.M.

LCDR Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 MalB, said Indeed I'd forgotten the N2 inspite of seeing 1744 a year or 2 ago on the N.Y.M.R. Let us not forget the J50s too. The LNER J50 was a Gresley GNR type adopted for standard production. They were GNR J23 class but because some had larger boilers the LNER divided them into J50 and J51.although outwardly they were very similar. Ten of the type to become J50 appeared in 1922, but there were 30 J51s which were built between 1914 and 1919. The J51s had 4 foot 2 inch diameter boilers second hand off the Ivatt 0-8-2Ts and the J50s had new 4 foot 5 inch diameter boilers. In 1929 a start was made to rebuild them all to J50s, and by 1935 class J51 was extinct. In many dimensions they were similar to the Ivatt saddle tanks which they superceded, but had slightly longer wheelbase 16 foot 3 inch to the J52s 15 foot 6 inch. Handsome little engines it is a pity none were preserved. The last in service were 7 transferred to departmental use 68911 / 3212 (10), 68914 / 3215 (11), 68917 / 3218 (12) , 68928 / 3229 (13), 68961 / 1045 (14), 68971 / 1086(15), 68976 / 2793 (16), the first three being former GNR J23 / LNER J51s. 212, 215 & 218. They all were condemned in 1965. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB51 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'm not 100% sure but I don't think the Hornby (8 pin) Alex has lights as standard, but it shouldn't be hard to do. This is the Dapol (21 pin) version which comes with them fitted. R- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete007 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I have just got a Hornby HST R2704 in Virgin Red / Grey livery with Olivia's trains sound in both power cars. I will do a short video and put it on my youtube channel with a link in a few days. I just need to turn them into unbranded, I have seen red transfer patch to cover up the Virgin logo, looks good with the unbranded Virgin MK3 coaches.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
