[Flying Scotsman 4472]

Thanks to Garfield for getting me to buy these 2 little beauties and for the advice on liveries

As if you needed persuasion to buy them!

 

You're going to kick me, but the NCC lettering is too close together. Here's a pic of the Murphy version to give you an idea: http://www.anticsonline.co.uk/l.aspx?k=1704775

 

Excellent paintjobs and weathering, though... and the UTA version looks bang on.

I wasn't to sure on the letter spacing to be honest as any of the photos I looked at we're all in UTA liverys but to be fair I'm happy with the way it turned out.

That's the most important thing!

I need to pick your brains about a K1 sometime soon

Really like the way you did the two liveries of the Jintys, they make my one look like a toy in comparison

Excellent work and doing the two in different liveries shows both off nicely.

And if you want to make them even more realistic you can remove the vacuum gear from the UTA one, as it would seem that. after one unsuccessful trial with a passenger train, they were relegated to shunting wagons around York Road for the rest of their lives. 19 lost her coal rails also later on.

PS to my last post - is that a Wainright "C" class repaint lurking in the background of the top photo? Can we have a closer look? I have the SECR version but the lining etc., is so fabulous I wouldn't have the heart....

Here you go Colm she was the black one with Southern wrote on the tender side. I was going to buy the green one but even I didn't have the heart to repaint her.

I've just received my Chris Dyer Jinty in NCC colours, but I see that the "NCC" logo on the side is in small lettering than the ones pictured here. Should I be worried about that? I can't find any helpful pictures of the real thing online. Thanks!

The side lettering would have been "standard" LMS style for the period, but frankly I wouldn't get too hung up over it anyway.

Couple of things to note if you are modelling these engines in post 1948 UTA state, is that the vacuum gear was removed as they did not oeprate passneger trains; 19 (which lasted longest) also had the rear coal rails removed.

Of course, some folk were at this sort of thing a long time ago; the model shown dates from the late 1960s when a friend of mine began to attermpt to model the LMS NCC. He chopped up Hornby Dublo carriages, and built a class WT Jeep from cardboard amongst others.

 

 

 

His 0-6-0T class Y (to give it its proper title, they were not called jinties here as far as I know) may have the awful tri-ang wheels etc., but (for those with long memories) it has "syncrosmoke!"

 

 

the final picture shows the two NCC locos and an unmodified Dublo 2-6-4 tank for comparison.
