paul 27 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Looking at R2441 2004 model, and R3099 2011 model, are these basicaly the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Dominion Posted January 28, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 28, 2021 I think they are similar but not the same. R2441 represents the loco while it had an A4 style boiler. The wash out plugs in the lower firebox sides but above the running plate are angled. The R3099 model represent the loco at a different stage in its preservation when it was fitted with an A3 style boiler, 94A I think. Those 2 wash out plugs are level with each other. The dome on the R2441 model is a couple of mm further forward too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Spare Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Also, the earlier model used the sprung drawbar between loco and tender whereas R3099 has the plug and socket arrangement, giving provision for sound in the tender, the earlier loco having the decoder socket on the loco chassis. Service sheets 284B and 388B refer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul 27 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the replies does the Railroad version have the same five pole motor as these. Edited January 29, 2021 by paul 27 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Spare Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The website quotes the Railroad model as having a 3-pole motor (+ flywheel). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul 27 Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 R3099 having the A3 boiler would be ok for back dating to a 60s model, would need the red name plates and a single chimney who makes the best examples of these. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
