A1 War Time Black
A project I have wanted to turn into life was creating a Peppercorn A1 in wartime black
LNER PHOENIX 3136. Yes I know LNER Peppercorn A1s where not around in WWII hence the name
Phoenix.

Re: A1 War Time Black
Aside from the LNER spacing on the tender...that does look incredibly good in black.

Re: A1 War Time Black
I did not do the transformation myself but I am more than happy with the look.

Re: A1 War Time Black
How common was the use of LNER in wartime black? I was under the impression that a simple NE was favoured.

Re: A1 War Time Black
It looks rather North American like that. Finish the smokebox and deflectors in an aluminium paint, and that'll seal the deal.
Very handsome indeed.

hate to be pedantic, but only the smokebox would be aluminium, it was supposed to stop the paint blistering from the heat, for that matter the firebox below the running board would also be silver.Hatfield Shed wrote:It looks rather North American like that.

you could always mark it out as a passenger loco and paint two-tone grey
I'm somewhat tempted to subtly convert an A1 or A2 to American styling to gift to a friend of mine living in wisconsin; add a pilot (cowcatcher), remove the buffers, add a headlight and bell and stick Union Pacific on the tender, let's see how many americans would know that it's british at a glance
for that matter a britania would probably work better

Re: A1 War Time Black
What I ment was had anyone fitted a sound unit due to the fact this model dose not have a cable leading to the tender.Nova wrote:Fitting sound to just about any loco is possible.DonnyRailMan wrote:As anyone tried fitting any form of sound decoders to the R 3 2 0 6.
All the tender inside as is some metal weighted plates & no socket .

in that case then it would have a speaker in the loco itselfDonnyRailMan wrote:What I ment was had anyone fitted a sound unit due to the fact this model dose not have a cable leading to the tender.Nova wrote:Fitting sound to just about any loco is possible.DonnyRailMan wrote:As anyone tried fitting any form of sound decoders to the R 3 2 0 6.

Would the sugar cube style speaker needed to be fitted inside the locomotive then.

Re: A1 War Time Black
it depends how much space there is. You could always send it to a company like Digitrains or Olivia's and have them fit it for youDonnyRailMan wrote:Nova wrote:in that case then it would have a speaker in the loco itselfDonnyRailMan wrote:
