Scots Mac Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Hi Guys been browsing the net looking at various locos and kits and came across this loco I'd never seen or heard of before. An English Southern 01 0-6-0 apparently. This loco and tender resin casting is available from Golden Arrow models and damn me if it doesn't look like a dead ringer for an Irish round top boilered J15.Fits on a Hornby 0-6-0 chassis,thought I was seeing things..... a few wee extra details on the loco and it would pass muster as a J15 to my eyes no ??

Dunluce Castle Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Yep, I seen that before, it's a dead ringer for another loco (NCC) as well, i might place an order next week for one, the tender is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scots Mac Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Hi Nelson , typical,I find this model after buying two Deans Goods for conversion and have already started to them. Mind you they have belpaire fireboxes . Just shows you though eh ? I've also noticed today that the tenders attached tp the new Bachmann Great Central engines and "Scottish" directors are damned close to the type of tenders attached to the irish 400 4-6-0s.However I don't see any on ebay as spares yet .

Dunluce Castle Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Are you planning on buying this resin body? Bachmann spares are getting more and more hard to come across now, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scots Mac Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) Hi Nelson , I'll see how I get on with the 2 deans goods. I've already buffed off the Great Western steam domes. I was going to leave one with its belpaire firebox and do the other as a round top but after having found this other loco I probably will buy one. What northern irish engines look like this ??

Dunluce Castle Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Hi Davy, it's been a while since I last checked, but I think this engine resembled a NCC V Class locomotive, not the V1 but the V. I will have another look for you, and get back to you tonight. Nelson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
