Accurascale staff Accurascale Fran Posted May 15, 2010 Accurascale staff Share Posted May 15, 2010 Nice though they are, those are not plain green as per the question but green/SYP. They're also dated 1963, hence no advance on the shot I mentioned, although I've now found a July '62 shot on Colin Marsden's '35 Years of Mainline Diesel Traction'. It's also GSYP but looks very fresh As I stated in my post: http://nicwhe8.freeh...5705/start.html (Gallery page two, top pic of D5711) Looks like plain green with no wraparound windows to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold DaveF Posted May 15, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 15, 2010 As many of you know Derby RTC ended up with one, seen here at East Leake on the Great Central in1969 (and I do know at least some of you have seen this photo before!). Class 28 S15705 at East Leake, Great Central April 1969. More photos of it in my gallery at: http://daveseastmidl...ve.fotopic.net/ Look in the Great Central Bulwell through Nottingham to Loughborough Collection in the gallery.

Jenny Emily Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I don't know whether to be really happy, or cry; it's going to be expensive for me when these come out. I held off on the class 14s, and am glad I did as I quite fancy the Loadhaul liveried one that's forthcoming. The weathered BR blue class 28 looks interesting, but that's a lot of squids to now have to save up. Does anybody think that some interesting liveries may appear in the second batch that Hattons will inevitably produce? What livery might the class 28 suit from the later BR period? I think RTC red/blue probably would have and maybe Dutch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D605Eagle Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I'll ask the guys who are measuring up on Saturday if they know about the window arrangment on the as built version, and maybe we'll know for sure then what will on the model. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Deltic Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I've just pre-ordered D5700 in original condition, but I really need to get two and renumber one - after all, the Condor was usually double headed.

Pete Piszczek Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 The link just ends up at an advertising page for the hosting company when I click it... Works for me, now. I suspect a lot of these sleepy sites get taken down for a short while by their providers when traffic to the site increases by a million percent. The sudden interest in Crossley powered locomotives may have just done that... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Delamar Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Im still working on my o gauge build, hopefully this announcement will bring about interest, and therefore more prototype info (ive struggled for decent roof shots) and projects such as sound chips Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a more serious note - Railfreight grey with or without a red solebar stripe should look OK; the mention of RTC livery as used on the class 24 (97201??) sounds good also. Anything too plain with a lack of emblems or lining to break things up would only over-emphasise the slab-sided look of the design (as per a thread not so long back about "reverse" Pullman livery looking rather dodgy on the older style of Pullmans).

RMweb Premium Downer Posted May 19, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 19, 2010 There's an article on the Co-Bos in the current (May) British Railways Illustrated. One photo, dated June 1961, shows D5705 and D5701 on shed at Derby, both still in plain green, but with the revised front windows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them seemed to lose a nose if they hit anything substantial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted May 24, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 24, 2010 Do any of the non nose diesels have much in the way of crash protection? Most of them seemed to lose a nose if they hit anything substantial. No - just a bit of steel sheet and the control desk, all rather flimsy in accident damage terms as a collision between an HST power car nose and a Brush Type 4 (Class 47) at Landore demonstrated - the 'plastic' HST nose was considerably stronger than the Brush's front end and inflicted mortal damage to it. The cab of a D10XX (Class 52) was more or less totally destroyed back to the corridor bulkhead when it hit a pannier tank head on. The message is simple - standard steel loco cabs of the 1960 era were not particularly collision resisitant, end of story. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 838rapid Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I bought a model of 28005 from Howes last year. Its in Railfreight colours. Carries it well. Was thinking of stripping it back to body and respraying it green,but alas I will try and get some pictures of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 838rapid Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Sorry for the delay in replies with the pictures. As you can hopefully see the loco has been fitted with a proper headcode panel and has lost its gangway doors. After buying the loco it seemed a shame to destroy all the good work that had taken place. Just a shame it doesnt want to run. I dont think its a Hornby cobo,it seems to be a more modern loco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: is that some sort of Wonderloaf servicing kit in the background, too? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
