RMweb Gold Popular Post Hattons Dave Posted September 11, 2017 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) Hatton's OO Gauge Andrew Barclay 14” & 16” 0-4-0ST Andrew Barclay Sons & Co. were a locomotive building company based in Kilmarnock, Scotland. They became known for producing their standardised saddle tank locomotives, mainly for industrial use. They had a small selection of options available to prospective buyers such as alternative cabs, cylinders, chimneys and tanks. The most numerous type produced were the 14” & 16” versions, referring to the diameter of the cylinders. Thousands of 0-4-0s were built by Andrew Barclay starting in the late 1800s. Many survived longer than mainline steam under BR, with some still running in the late 1970s. Over 100 are believed to be preserved across the UK. We are producing a total of eight 14” versions and four 16” versions in a wide variety of liveries and including the variations that would have originally been available from Andrew Barclay themselves. Variations Include: Two different cab front windows Four different cab rear windows Two types of buffer shanks Two types of buffers Tank steps (where appropriate) Lubricators (where appropriate) Two different front spring heights Two different water tank heights Model Specifications: RP25 wheel profile 6-pin DCC socket in tanks 5-pole motor All wheel pickup NEM coupling pockets Chemically blackened wheels Separately fitted handrails Separately fitted drain cock detailing and oil lubricators Fully detailed and painted cab interior These locomotives are being produced exclusively by Hatton’s and are available to pre-order now for £99 each on www.hattons.co.uk/barclay. Variations Available to Order: We're currently at the First EP stage which you can see below. Delivery is scheduled to be during January/February 2018.

Phil Parker Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 OO Gauge Andrew Barclay 14”/16” 0-4-0ST After years in the wilderness industrial locomotives are the new black with increasing interest being shown by manufacturers and customers alike. Hatton’s announcement of the small Barclay four-coupled tank is a clever move as it is of a prototype which had a high degree of standardisation but over an extended period of time, widely distributed to a variety of industries all around the country and also for export. Built in Kilmarnock the locomotives certainly found favour in Scotland the North of England but by no means exclusively. As with the P Class we have had chance to test the running EP sample capably managing a typical load of twelve 16T mineral wagons around a test track including the 1 in 30 gradients. Again, the performance and smoothness of running is exemplary. Many tooling variations have been accommodated to portray different models; two different cab front windows, four different cab rear windows, BR numberplates on smokebox where appropriate, two types of buffer shanks and buffers, tank steps and lubricators where appropriate, two different front spring heights and two different water tank heights. Twelve different liveries and variations will be available at the time of release at the beginning of 2018, priced at £99.00 - customers can pre-order models now at hattons.co.uk/barclay Specifications: ● RP25 wheel profiles ● 6-pin DCC socket in tanks ● Chemically blackened wheels ● Separately fitted and blackened handrails ● NEM pockets with tension lock couplings ● 5 pole motor in 'locomotive' section with motor in boiler and gears in firebox ● Fully detailed and painted cab interior ● Easily removable bodyshells for maintenance & DCC fitting ● Turned brass whistle ● Separately factory-fitted drain cock detailing and oil lubricators ● All wheel pickup ● Weights within boiler for maximum adhesion ● Fluted connecting rods with oily cosmetic finish Tooling Variations: ● 2 different cab front windows ● 4 different cab rear windows ● BR numberplate on smokebox where appropriate ● 2 types of buffer shanks ● 2 types of buffers ● Tank steps where appropriate ● Lubricators where appropriate ● 2 different front spring heights ● 2 different water tank heights 6 Locomotives Liveries: H4-AB14-001 14” 2047 ‘705’ in BR black with early crest 1948-1957 & as preserved H4-AB14-002 14” 2047 ‘705’ in GWR green with shirtbutton roundel as preserved H4-AB14-003 14” 2134 ‘Coronation’ in lined green 1980s H4-AB14-004 14” 1863 in Caledonian Railways lined blue 1990s - 2005 H4-AB14-005 14” 2134 ‘WTT’ in lined green as preserved H4-AB14-006 14” 2069 “Little Barford” in Acton Lane Power Station blue 1965-1983 H4-AB14-007 14” 1927 ‘No.1’ in Burnley Council Gas Department blue as preserved H4-AB14-008 14” 2134 ‘No.3’ in Fina lined blue 1970s H4-AB16-001 16” 2244 ‘No.10’ in NCB lined black 1960s/1970s & as preserved H4-AB16-002 16” 2260 ‘No.23’ in NCB green 1960s/1970s H4-AB16-003 16” 2226 ‘Katie’ in lined maroon as preserved H4-AB16-004 16” 1964 in CPC UK blue 1970s Price: £99 Availability: Late January 2018 www.hattons.co.uk/barclay Current Progress: First EP received.

DougN Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Thanks to Mr Hattons more ways to take my money. I think I have to order a little Katie.... why I have no idea... Seriously though it is a hearty congratulations to Hattons as these will sell like hot cakes. If the Hornby Peckett is anything to go buy... oops Freudian slip there!

49395 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Is there a particular version suitable (to be modified/repainted if needed) that is suitable for a period around 1900-1920? I'm referring more to the cab/tank variations than the liveries as it looks (to me having a quick read) like they are mostly 1950s onwards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zunnan Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Given the silhouette elsewhere tempting thoughts of a Midland machine, I had my hopes up there; but the AB tanks are so much better! So many bad ideas and potential micro layouts...Better still, the Barclays don't really carry the rounded 'cute' factor of the red box Peckett. This could prove expensive!

Phil Parker Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 And do we know who is making the model ? ! Yes - Hattons are commissioning it directly from China. More detail in the video. Unless you want the name of the individual assembling each one, in which case you're on your own finding that out... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRman Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Two Barclays and a P class ordered, looking forward to them, 5-pole motor too!! Cheers from Oz, Peter C. I did the reverse: two P's and one Barclay pre-ordered! SECR and Bluebell for the P class, and a Caledonian Andrew Barclay. The latter will lose its CR and crest to match up closely with the Hornby H&P Peckett. The EPs all look good to me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Is there a particular version suitable (to be modified/repainted if needed) that is suitable for a period around 1900-1920? I'm referring more to the cab/tank variations than the liveries as it looks (to me having a quick read) like they are mostly 1950s onwards That type of cab was from the mid 1920s. The oldest listed there is the preserved Caledonian Railway liveried one that was built in 1926. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
49395 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Thanks, that confirms my thinking that it was the oldest one there. Is there much difference to an earlier cab? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenman Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 ...Better still, the Barclays don't really carry the rounded 'cute' factor of the red box Peckett. ... For those of us dilettantes (an effete East Anglian here, rather than the more traditional "effete Southerner") who like the "cute" factor, this is a tad disappointing (I was hoping for a spectacularly-cute Bristol-manufactured industrial next!), but I am glad people are pleased - and that there is some Scottish love, too.
