dibber25 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Hi, Has anyone got any photos of both MR-102 Southern Livery and MR-110 Maunsell Livery USA tank together? Thanks, Samuel. MR-102 is black with SOUTHERN in Sunshine lettering. MR-110 is not 'Maunsell livery' - it's BR departmental lined green livery, named MAUNSELL. There was no Maunsell livery on these locomotives as they were not acquired until after the Second World War, towards the end of Bulleid's reign.

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted May 14, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 14, 2017 Hi, Has anyone got any photos of both MR-102 Southern Livery and MR-110 Maunsell Livery USA tank together? Thanks, Samuel. Doubtful outside preservation, (it may have happened at the KESR). Southern Livery was circa 15 years earlier than Maunsell (and Wainwright) in BR Green, which first appeared in 1963.

71H Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I don't have a black USA tank (yet ) but i do have these two............ I just took three photos because I'm not sure if you could see the difference in green used. Hope it is of some use to you... andy 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc2016 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 MR-102 is black with SOUTHERN in Sunshine lettering. MR-110 is not 'Maunsell livery' - it's BR departmental lined green livery, named MAUNSELL. There was no Maunsell livery on these locomotives as they were not acquired until after the Second World War, towards the end of Bulleid's reign. (CJL) I accidentally put Maunsell Livery instead of Named Maunsell. Thank you for highlighting the mistake. Doubtful outside preservation, (it may have happened at the KESR). Southern Livery was circa 15 years earlier than Maunsell (and Wainwright) in BR Green, which first appeared in 1963. I meant to put if anybody got both models made by Bachmann and not in real life. I don't have a black USA tank (yet ) but i do have these two............ I just took three photos because I'm not sure if you could see the difference in green used.

RMweb Premium phil-b259 Posted July 2, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 2, 2017 I have look around this site (and the web more widely) but have been unable to work out if there is a way of partially dismantling the cab on this model so as to make it easier to fit a crew. So far I have only been able to remove the bunker. Any advice would be appreciated as while Bachmann's new style instruction leaflet is a great improvement when it comes to fitting detailing parts, it only takes about splitting the entire body from the chassis.

Fireline Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I wanted one in BR Black, but missed out on the weathered version. However, s73 was sufficiently quirky for me to order it as soon as I heard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

71H Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 has anybody got any tips to fitting the drop plate to the front of the loco? I have 4 of this USA tank locos and I found, like others that trying to put plate in the upright position is a bit of a pain. I did manage to get one plate in the vertical position and the other 3 horizontal. It is a fiddly job but it is doable with tweezers and I use a small amount of Pritstick. You can use tacky wax too.

Thinking back, I seem to recall that it was necessary to slacken off the front body fixing(s) to allow the smokebox to be raised slightly. Regards, John Isherwood.

SRman Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Did you manage to fix it ok SRman ? I did eventually. I should have gone with my instincts and loosened the fixing screw but didn't until much later. We live and learn! Thanks for asking, 71H. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
