Frappington Jct Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Hi all, I'm starting to plan a rebuild of a rather wonky K2 model I built a couple of years ago and am hoping the hive mind might be able to help me with some information regarding cab styles. I know that the original K1s had a rather square cab (like this), but did they keep these when rebuilt as K2s or did they receive the more curvaceous style fitted to the new-build K2s (like this)? If they did keep the squarer cabs at rebuilding, how long were they retained? Did they get rebuilt again, presumably to increase route availability post-grouping? Essentially, what I suppose I'm asking is did any K2s have the original square type K1 cabs until withdrawal? I hope that makes sense - I did have a bit of google beforehand but couldn't find anything particularly conclusive. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyC Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) The side window type cab shown in the second link was only fitted to those K2s allocated to Scottish sheds. https://www.lner.info/locos/K/k1k2.php Edited October 31, 2020 by JeremyC Link added Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
