Having seen the EP however, it does look good. I thought it was implied by your statement that the EP looks good and then providing a link, simple as. Had you explained the former with the link it would have been clearer. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickham Green too Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Might I guess that one of the "smaller detail differences" "that it's not possible to include" could be the wheel diameter ............ there seems to be no reference to this .... er ..... not so small difference between the '11' & '12' anywhere !!?!

Have you a direct connection with this project? I wasn't aware I'm required to prior explain the exact content of any appropriate hyperlink, I'd have thought viewing the hyperlink would suffice. Re connection, I suppose it all depends on how you define a 'direct connection'. I would say I've had a connection to the project, but I wouldn't say I have a connection with the project. And for clarity, (so important as I'm learning), that connection occurred in Grantham at 11:45 am on 30th April 2021. In the meantime anyone wants a look at the EP, there's the option of purchasing January 2021's Model Rail , where page 8 has a half page editorial piece, including a 1/4 page image of it. If anything in my post offends you, please let me know......I may wish to offend again. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This loco had 4"-0.5" wheels with the 'bevelled' rim. The 08 had 4'-6" also with the bevelled rim. I don't know how many spokes in either case. Wheels for the 08 are readily available, but there are, to the best of my knowledge, no wheels available that feature a 4'-0" o/d, bevelled rim and no crankpin. I suppose that those with a lathe could modify the RTR wheels, but for the rest of us this model is best passed by. A pity but there it is. Regards On 13/07/2019 at 10:34, jjnewitt said: Or perhaps compromise - the inevitable result of using manufacturing techniques where exact scaling of the prototype can't be done. I assume you don't have any Bachmann or Hornby 08s as there is room in there for EM/P4 wheels so they must be compromised elesewhere? The springs on the Bachmann one obviously are. Perhaps there's sufficient room in those for EM/P4 wheels as a result of needing the things to go round R1 and R2 curves in OO? Another compromise... It's true that there isn't a suitable wheel currently available but it also possible that if the conversion is achievable and people put their hands up someone like Alan Gibson will produce something. If EM/P4 wheels don't fit then there definately won't be any proper wheels. Justin On 13/07/2019 at 11:02, PenrithBeacon said: About a year ago I asked AGW if there were going to be any additional wheels In the catalogue for a conversion I had mind. I was told that no additions were planned for any new RTR models. Assuming that Heljan do make the compromises needed there might be a way forward ie 3D printing and an AGW tyre. But then again perhaps not. Regards Just rereading this thread whilst waiting for MR to set up their ordering system for these beauties. I only want the one but like it to be one of the three hundred. The difference between the wheels of class 08 and the class 11 is less than six inches i.e less than 2mm in 4mm scale. Not sure how often an 08 or 11 got it's tyres turned but I am assuming at least two inches worth or tyre could be removed before reaching scrapping size, so that is nearly a millimetre. So surely class 08 wheels skimmed by a millimetre would be within a gnat's nadger of being near enough ? The railway could never have had a totally uniform fleet in terms of wheelsize, and to look at the contemporary trains, there was a photo of a voyager published a couple of years ago where you could actually see both wheelsets on one bogie where of different sizes. I guess it all depends what your personal modelling standards are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 The wheel tyre might have lost an inch or so, but six inches is a lot, and noticeably so. Look at the differences between NER/LNER J71s and J72s (real and model). The only difference was the wheel size. 4'7" as opposed to 4' 1". Yet look totally different.

Opelsi Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Latest edition of Model Rail (No. 294) has a feature on page 9 showing the approved artwork for the Class 11, all 15 livery versions. Page 109 states order book not yet open though, along with Class 48 / 97 [PWM] / 98 [VoR]. No mention of the Class 12 (though I appreciate this is further down the pipeline). I'll be ordering: Class 11 x 2 Class 12 x 2 Class 48 Class 97 just as soon as it is possible. My concern however remains that with very limited numbers of each of the shunter liveries folks including myself may miss out. One might hope that loyal subscribers would be prioritised by opening orders to them first off, though not holding my breath on that one. Eyes wide open, don't blink or you could mis them! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 As subscribers usually receive their copies a few days before the magazine reaches the shops, it is likely that they will be the first to see the ordering details. (CJL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Pedro32 Posted August 3, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 3, 2022 According to a Heljan post on facebook today: "As well as our own projects, we work with a range of other organisations to produce exclusive models, usually in OO gauge. We're delighted to be working with our friends at Model Rail Magazine on a superb OO model of the LMS/BR Class 11 0-6-0DE shunter. The first factory decorated samples of the '11s' arrived recently, as shown in the latest issue of Model Rail, on sale now! Featuring a huge range of authentic detail variations (cabs, ladders, fuel gauges, marker lights, handrails etc) plus working marker lights, switchable cab interior lights and extremely fine detail inside and out, these models will set new standards for English Electric 350hp diesel shunters in OO. Versions cover War Department, Longmoor Military Railway, LMS, BR and industrial locomotives across six decades of services. Please see the magazine's shop page for more information and contact Model Rail's order hotline with all enquiries related to the Class 11 project"https://en-gb.facebook.com/heljanas/ 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD1995 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I'm glad there's been an update on these, looking forward to getting a couple when they come out. Going by those samples they will certainly be detailed 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
