Re: Great British Locomotives Magazine
Does anybody have actual confirmation at what number the series will finish?
Re: Great British Locomotives Magazine
Nope.
...but I'm only after one more, and that's the Class 47 / Brush Type 4 diesel.

Re: Great British Locomotives Magazine
Had our fellow contributor been a little more forthcoming with information or rumour from the Western Front, with which he is thoroughly familiar, he might have provided the following note of what are said to be the final three issues:Saint Johnstoun wrote:Does anybody have actual confirmation at what number the series will finish?
39 August 5th A1/A2
40 August 19th Brush Type 4
41 September 2nd Locomotion No 1(perhaps)
Based on the potential inaccuracy of this information, maybe he didn't want it to be seen to come from the horse's mouth......

To be pedantic (well I am!) it's actually St Budeaux, the Devon side of the Tamar, looking towards the Tamar bridges with Saltash in the background.52D wrote:Saltash?Kestrel wrote:Does anyone know where this is??

Re: Great British Locomotives Magazine
Excellent. Simon's taking the A2 tender, and someone else is relieving me of the cosmetic track base. Means I can keep the engine body and the screws.
Re: Great British Locomotives Magazine
Anybody in the Grantham area looking for the A2, Sainsbury's had two left on the stand by the entrance/exit this afternoon 
Re: GBL A2
It's not just on the right hand side. The incorrect transition also occurs on the left - though partly hidden by the LHS ejector pipe. In summary, the transition occurs too low down, which then makes the (lower) firebox too narrow.Hatfield Shed wrote:....the awkward transition from round to flat on the RHS firebox side are easily dealt with. ....
I'm just trying to work out where to saw off and reposition the flat sections. Some plastic filling will be needed but since all the moulded detail is to be shaved off, at least the task is made a bit easier.

Re: Great British Locomotives Magazine
If the whole thing is too narrow and you plan to lose the surface detail anyway, then why bother cutting the original sides off? You could just add a suitable extra layer over them and blend the top edge into the curve in right place, preserving full strength of the original moulding.
