phil gollin Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 . Errrr...... sorry to be pedantic, but it's "sought after" not "sort after". Still someone is actually doing the Fell ! Amazing. . 2 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BMacdermott Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2019 Hello everyone Congratulations to KR Models on this announcement - we wish the company every success with the project. The loco has been High Polling since 2014. We won't delete the loco from The 00 Wishlist Poll data at present as the company has only asked for 'expressions of interest'. Perhaps KR Models could give some more detail about whether they are planning just the version as in the picture or 'as built' with centre connecting rod etc? I couldn't see anything about 'variants' on the website (except livery - or did I miss something??) Brian (on behalf of The 00 Poll Team) 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a caring sort I did break the news gently to him and offered counselling if he's in need of someone to talk to.

The person who can find the most mistakes wins a free model. After the fiasco of the flask comes the farce of the fell. "Put out of service in 1952". Then why does the photo show it with a late crest? Bernard 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2019 I suppose actually it was "put out" in 1952 - but bounced back a year later and went on until 1958. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But many of the punters looking on here will not know the history of the machine. I suppose you could say that it is even more misleading to publish two different versions of the history. A question for those who do know. Was it withdrawn as a result of a fire or through catastrophic damage to the gear box? Bernard 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Grovenor Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2019 In 1952 it was gearbox damage, in 1958 it was fire. Rgds 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted November 24, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 24, 2019 A very maligned machine, although it wasn't a success there was some clever thinking in the design. Nice to see it being offered in model form! 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covkid Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Gonna be a really interesting exercise in reality this one. Always talk and wishlisting, but's lest sit back and see how many really want one. I don't, but I really wish Keith and his team the best of luck with the project. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rgds I may be wrong, but I think that it was in 1952 that it was modified from being a 4-8-4 to a 4-4-4-4, i.e. the middle coupling rod was removed, Must have been around then it went from black to green, so scope for the model in different forms on those counts.

John. Hello John According to Modern Locomotives Illustrated, No.185, Main Line Prototypes, The BR Designs, the loco went into Derby works and had the central con rod removed after the May/June 1954 International Railway Congress Exhibition (Willesden). The loco was painted Brunswick green with late crest in March 1957. Brian 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
