rue_d_etropal Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Is there a full list of the USATC tank loco numbers, not just those that were conveted. The converted ones are all ex Vulcan, and don't have the extra handrails for front steps. That is on the USATC version 1968, so assume is correct. Looking though prototype photos, it seems some had the extra handrails, some did not originally, the Hornby/Rivarossi Ho version does have the handrails, so wondering whichoriginal manufacture they are. There is one in HO with number 1948. Would like to confirm this is correct . The NCB and Austin works locos both appear to have the front handrails in photos. Looking at the MR photos, I notice the NCB one does have the handrails, so it must have even varied in versions from same manufacturer.

TonyA Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 is there any list which says which builder built each loco? There are full details in Allied Military Locomotives of the Second World War by R. Tourret. Copies are available currently on Amazon. Tony 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rue_d_etropal Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) thanks, but prefer not to have to buy book just to find out one builder of one loco. Noticed it is mainly available second hand, and commanding high price. Edited August 18, 2016 by rue_d_etropal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted August 19, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) This discussion rumbles on and on with some information being of real use. I shall add my penneth. Yesterday morning I saw a USA from this production project at work on a new layout, in a garage, in a village not far from my place. In the afternoon I did a bit of checking up on details and prototype and then I pre ordered 30071 without any hesitation, deviation or repetition (I only need one). It is, without doubt, one of the finest models I have seen for some time, runs like a silky smooth, smooth thing and as the bunker is detachable I shall be able to modify that to my requirements without damaging the loco and then, hopefully, reattach said bunker. Changing the loco's identity may be a little more challenging for me but hey, it will be filthy anyway so who cares? I am happy to announce that I have no connection whatsoever with any of the parties involved in this project, however US Dollars are good at the moment Dibber Phil Edited August 19, 2016 by Mallard60022 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted August 19, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 19, 2016 and then I pre ordered 30071 without any hesitation, deviation or repetition (I only need one). The ideal locomotive to double-head with your S&DJR 7F on the Cleethorpes to Exmouth passing SOS Jct, perhaps with the failed Spamcan being hauled immediately behind the two train engines, en-route to Exmouth Jct shed for a repair!

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted August 19, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 19, 2016 I've got one on order, but I can't recall which one it is, but I believe it's a BR black one. Either way, it will assume the identity of that which was sold back by BR to the MoD for use in the Army Depot at the end of the South Polden Light Railway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy to announce that I have no connection whatsoever with any of the parties involved in this project, however US Dollars are good at the moment Dibber Phil Thanks for your kind comments. I have to confess that I haven't yet taken one apart, although there is talk of running one for demo purposes on my Cornish layout and since that layout is DCC-equipped, I will need to fit one of mine with a decoder in due course. Personally, I would be very wary of trying to convert the gauge to EM or P4, although I guess if you've lots of experience in converting RTR models, you might be OK. It is a very complex little engine with some very tight clearances and Bachmann's designers have put a great deal of time and effort into creating for us a model that we can be proud to offer to customers. We did, however, early in the process have to accept that the provision for sound speakers and gauge widening could not be allowed to compromise the basic silent, OO as-supplied model. On a personal note, as I'm going the other way, the £ and Canadian Dollars are not good at the moment! (CJL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les1952 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 My Number 36 arrived this morning. Not yet had chance to run it. First impressions- Livery- the correct Northumberland shading on the lettering, well done. However, at £25 more than the Hattons WD saddletank that also arrived this week the lack of spring buffers seems a little primitive (the WD has them). More impressions and pics probably after tomorrow. Les Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
