Well, this reminds me of my first train set that was my grandfather's and given to me along with the Christmas Layout. It was from the 1930's and made of pressed metal with lighted cars and used the 3-rail O-gage system. Sadly, an ocean saltwater flood of the isle Wildwood New Jersey destroyed everything in 1964. I can still see everything in my mind's eye so thanks for that. You will have to excuse the ramblings of an old man; we break into a story at the slightest inkling, lol. Once again you are on point with your assessment, and I am in total agreement. Great review and video, Jersey Bill
@@stevekovoc3939 new jersey, so probaby lionel or marx, would've been top end of marx though with lightedcars. and those sets are kind of hhard to find. even harder if the cars are not red.
My first model train was something called The Valley drifter and on the side it said Crimson king in fact I still have it. I just started so that was my first one.
Two, 7456 and 7553, were converted to the 5 ft 3 in (1,600 mm) Irish broad gauge in 1944 and 1945 for use on Northern Counties Committee lines in Northern Ireland, becoming the NCC Class Y, and numbered 18 and 19. The engines were reboilered by the LMS in 1944, just before delivery to the NCC in August. The conversion to 5 ft 3 in gauge was simply done by reversing the wheels and renewing the tyres and crank pins. Their frames were not altered at all and, possibly due to the light nature of their work, the engines do not seem to have suffered from widening the gauge.
Great review of a lovely model. One point -- smokeboxes were generally painted and varnished in the same finish as the boiler, so ex-works would have been just as shiny/metallic. This is how the model comes out of the box. However, smokeboxes always got very hot, and the varnish burned off within weeks, so a little weathering would easily produce that typical 'in service' look.
Thanks David for the extra info - I do think the matt finish is best for models, as that makes sense for even a pristine model running on a layout! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam. My O gauge jinty gets a service once a year and runs outside for up to 7 hours at a time with no problem. Runs better than my 08. Sounds really good. Runs with up to 6 wagons and a goods van on my up and down track. Caroline
Your shortie on Hornby got me worried. Being a bit selfish but hope they last a long time as the younger members of the team are just getting started on their careers. People like Louis. His TT work is good. Need lots of stock for Acton Wells too which i can afford in late December. Caroline
Hi Sam , a brilliant review and I have the SDJR in blue with sound. Can I suggest that for coupling use a pair of fine thin long Tweezers, I found that this works every time. I agree with the others mate use real coal in the bunker every time. Regards from Ron 🚂
Hey, Sam. As always, your videos are an absolute joy to watch. As a fellow lad from Ireland, I'd figure that I'd give you a couple of fun facts about the Northern Counties Commitee. First off, the NCC Jintys were actually a class of 2 reguaged versions from 4ft 8½ inches, to 5ft 3 inches and they were also reclassified as the "Y Class" with the only two examples being No. 18 and No. 19. Sadly these two were not preserved with No. 18 being scrapped in 1956 and No. 19 cut up in 1963. The ONLY loco from the NCC that is preserved is a 4-4-0 U2 class which look quite similar to a Midland 2P, and a WT Class, 2-6-4T, which is a reguaged Fairburn Tank
Hello Sam . This reminds me of the O gauge jinty video from long ago . That black and the red jinty models Oh and Rails of Sheffield’s website has a O gauge J94 model if you want to have a look at one . Just to let you know I love saddle tanks so maybe give that a review one day . Thanks for reading and bye sam 👋🏽
Love that cab! I think you should get a custom figure of you and your Gramps for this, Gramps as driver and yourself as fireman. You know it makes sense!
Hi, I also purchased the same product at that price . I am a OO gauge modeller but couldn’t resist the offer, and I was so impressed I purchased the other great offer for sale which is the SCER GREEN DAP-7S-010-013 Terrier which is also impressive. Both bargains, now I need some track !!. Love every video you make
As much as i love your 00 gauge videos, i do find 0 gauge very cool - an awesome livery too! Thisd look lovely with 2 or 3 mk2 coaches, maybe thats the next 0 gauge buy? As always, an amazing video sam, and a treat to watch as i make repairs to my layout!
Excellent review. It was a Dapol Jinty loco I saw in Gaugemaster on a visit with a friend, that encouraged me to start modelling in December last year. It was so solid looking in O gauge like a “real” loco and I wasn’t disappointed when one arrived for £199 from Rails. I’ve built myself a fairly simple shunting puzzle with a reverse siding, which I call my “motive power depot” now that I’ve got a Terrier (£125), Class 08 (£150) and a 14xx (£149). The layout all fits along the 96” wall behind my computer desk in my office, so it’s great for doing a bit of shunting while being on hold to the inland revenue/ insurance company/ pension company. I rather like the matt finish and I particularly like the inertia of the flywheel which prevents it more realistically from stopping on a dime from faster speeds. It does struggle a little more on my Peco Setrack points than the other locos for some reason, but it never derails or stops. Pleased I bought in, sorry it didn’t cost only £125..
I just bought an early crest BR jinty for 104 quid (no VAT for Australians) from RoS. I also bought a lined BR 14XX for the same price. That's 2 highly detailed O gauge locos for less than the price of 1 Hornby Black 5!
They truly are an awesome company. I already have quite a lot of their products. I can only hope that they will do more in the N Gauge range, especially items like carriage cleaning platforms and other necessities covering the Big Four as I model Southern Railways.
Awesome review. Please do a bigger diesel if you can justify it as I’m seriously considering investing myself and find your reviews so helpful. Many thanks ☺️
I don't have room for O Gauge, not enough space in my home for it. I do have a Bachmann 00 gauge Jinty, as you know, and on a preserved railway, you'll most likely see my favourite LMS tank engine hauling a passenger train, but yes he is designed more for shunting purposes. My Jimmy the Jinty is wearing a face that I made out of printing paper and cardboard. Your O Gauge Jinty would look good hauling a pair of O Gauge LMS Mk. 1 coaches, he suits them to a t. Love you, Jimmy the Jinty.
Hi Sam. Another characteristically forensic & enjoyable review. Personally, I'd have given it 5 stars for value, as £125 doesn't buy you a decent middle of the road used OO Guage model these days! Dis you hear about the Dapol class 14xx O Gauge counterfeit issue? There were loads being offered at really low prices on several online platforms. No such problems with this loco, it seems, especially when buying from reputable stockists.
A lovely model, which looks good in NCC/UTA livery. Of rather limited interest, alas, as there were only two of them in Ireland, but with a bit of modeller's licence, you could run a couple of LMS coaches behind it - the LMS sent some re-gauged coaches to Ireland after WW2 to help replace war casualties. The more highly-priced BR versions are still excellent value, though.
Oh wow what a beautiful sight to see ❤ Absolutely love the O gauge steam locomotives and at that price I am really interested in starting a micro layout though I think my wife would have something to say about it 😂. Would be nice to see a how to get started in O gauge video on what type of controller is best etc....
Happy to get a G-Scale locomotive from the german narrow gauge side. Its the only Double Fairlie locomotives that was produced and used in germany. The locomotives class was the 1M 251 to 253 or 99 161 to 99 163 (later and after the war).
I did spot it on rails site for that price. I did miss out at the time. But luckily another one came up with the early BR crest and British Railways lettering on thr tanks for the same price (those are still in stock on rails website if anyone interested). I did have afew issues with it. The done was broke off and the bar on thr smoke box door was off (which i repaired with glue carefully). The locos body was very stiff when i was taking it off to look inside, think it had abit of glue to it and stuck between body and Chassis which alwas dealt with. I have ran it at my club and it ran very smoothly. It was pretty much thr perfect loco for it size i was looking for in 0 gauge due to the layout ill be getting from a family member to go along side the peckett metal kit my granddad had (which still runs after being in a box for over a decade).
I wouldn’t mind O gauge modelling as the locos are exceptionally well detailed, but there aren’t as many locos and rolling stock to choose from. There’s also the matter of space, which I simply don’t have enough of. I don’t even have a layout yet, but the likelihood is that it would be in OO scale.
Been a while since we had been the O gauge used, decent review overall, interesting livery on this, never seen this livery before, the LMS Jinty will always be a special locomotive to me, it was the first loco I got in my first hornby train set.
Those beautiful coupling rods! I love how they're bright instead of blackened and those crankpins aren't that bad either! I'd say that having very light buffer and coupling springs are understandable, as the buffers should fully close upon contact with a single plastic wagon, and the couplings need to stop a long plastic train from "slinky movement", which requires a lot of fiddling especially in 00, where I've had to replace every single RTR buffer spring, and wind my own from copper wire (when I dont have Gibson springs) and only Exactoscale ever made good coupling springs in 00. Thanks as always Sam.
@@SamsTrains of course! If I can have zero trouble with dead scale 3 links and screw links in 00 with (my temporary) 2nd radius curves, then there is no good reason why you should have to be experiencing trouble in 0.
Hi Sam. Nice to see Dapol have made a locomotive that not only has screw-link couplings, but that they actually work, and are sprung. A pity about the weak springs on the buffers, though. My only complaint is the firebox flicker; they could have improved this by putting a translucent diffuser plate over the LEDs so it more closely resembled fire. Also, the LEDs appeared too dim; maybe that works better on DCC? I don’t mind the semi-gloss finish, but the smoke box should have been either flat black, or graphite (gunmetal grey), depending on the prototype. I guess you’ll need to get an O-scale brake van with lighting; some of the section of track there was a bit dim and gloomy. 🙁 While it would probably cost as much as a new car, a Big Boy in O-scale would be a fun thing for Sam to review… if it wasn’t so heavy that it would break Sam’s trackage! Gaaa!! 😮
Yeah absolutely - O gauge is a totally different story for Dapol! Yeah a diffuser plate would have been good actually, fair point! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Indeed...as a point of reference the three-rail O scale Big Boys (die-cast boilers, running gear and tender) weigh in the neighborhood of 20 pounds (9.07 Kg).
This O gauge Jinty model from Dapol is nice Sam. Plus, 125 British Pounds for this model is an extremely reasonable price. By the way, do you plan to review the Ellis Clark O gauge Black 5 soon Sam?
Great video, Sam. Speaking of Heljan O-gauge, will you consider reviewing their upcoming Class 153? I couldn't resist ordering the OO gauge 155 when they announced it this week!
I wish we had two rail O in America. I despise three rail but I think O is the perfect size. Large but not as large as G (which is what I currently have) but doesn’t take much more room for a layout than HO. But in America we have three rail and it’s more of a toy rather than prototypical.
Great video Sam, my only foray into o gauge is a Lima 4F and a Class 33 both of which I have detailed, they are displayed along and just above my oo layout as unfortunately I just don't have the room, with them are LMS comp and brake coaches with a slaters kit built LMS brake/guards van
Well, a slow selling loco but then your luck. It's been quite a while since you've done O stuff. With covering some more gauges the attention has to be spread of course. O gauge on professional layouts are so fascinating to look at but one needs plenty of room. Especially large locos such as mallets really do become quite de creatures on their own, but also locos such as the German icon BR 103 really sparkle the imagination profoundly when fully detailed such as working pantographs under overhead wires. This one is a true bargain Sam. Lovely loco. Cheerio.
Could you possibly review the *LiOnEl* 0-6-0T? I know it could very well not work because of the 3 rails, but it would be so surreal seeing an American o gauge loco in your book!
Hornby just did a collaboration with marks models here in ireland for the same loco in 00 gauge. only costs 99 euro and it’s a simple loco but the livery is very good and it’s a good loco for the price
I was just starting to wonder about how the O gauge layout was doing last video. Hopefully this is the start of a few O guage reviews this year; I tend to be a fan of the bigger stuff myself.
The Jinti is a classic of Model Railways, and is a favourite layout loco. You certainly had a bargain. Did you know you can buy a bag of trees on Hornby's website for £99? I kid you not!
Rails have a 58xx with sound in the sale for £325.00. Dapol have a 14xx with sound in their sale for £260.00. Dapol also have a LMS maroon Jinty with sound for £250.00. The DCC fitted version is £255.00. Thank you for the review.
Sam, I have to disagree with one thing. You brought an analogue model. There should thus be no need for a speaker, which I believe you need DCC to operate. To include a speaker would mean supplying a feature that can-not be used, which would increase the price. Why should people pay for something they are never going to use?
Speakers tend not to be inexpensive parts. Often difficult to retrofit in a satisfactory way. Those of us who do use DCC find it simple to pop a decoder in with a speaker ready fitted. Makes sense to factory fit a speaker so the model is truly DCC ready. Admittedly if you are committed analogue - it seems wasteful, but then, the speaker is part of the loco and if it is sold, it’s still a feature than many want to find. So I’d say a decent speaker installation is a good thing for couple of pounds it might cost to put one in.
this o gauge jinty has a nice budget price. i compare it to maerklin and the latest from maerkiln has a rrp of €7700 . £120 is a beginer priced loco from dapol in o gauge. it has every thing in my budget target price as to a beginer loco. thanks for up loadin o gauge it is always nice to see british locos in oo and in o, tt. 👍👍👍👍🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Bro.. it’s not possible to compare that. They aren’t the same gauges. One is fully loaded with high end materials and dcc functions etc. and one is a plain old little tank engine with just the most basic function.
Ironically the NCC Jinty ran on 5' 3"' track so back to back should be 32 mm. Not all Jinties had lever reverse, some had screw reversers. Those originally built for the S & D had screw reverses. It certainly is a beautiful model and yours was very good value.
That is an excellent model. Although I have not bought any O gauge models. I really do like the size of the locos and rolling stock as gets closer to the real thing. It would be interesting to see what you think to Dapol's 08 shunter.
I checked the price of the engine in usd and wow 166$ is a bargain for a O gauge model considering Lionel charges up to like 500 for some of their locomotives lol, absolutely fantastic model
You should do a review on Dapol's 57xx in O gauge Sam. I have one of them that I got over 2 years ago, and it's such an amazing model. Cheers Jasper & Willow
May be the reason for bargain price is simply if its an Irish Jinty as the livery suggests, then the wheel gauge is wrong, given the railway actually used 5' 3" track.
Maybe a waste on your smaller layout but a look at the Ellis Clark Black 5 must be on the cards, never actually seen any large tender locos in detail on O gauge
8:57 Actually, thats technically not true, when newly delivered the smokeboxes would‘ve been glossy like the rest of the loco. Its not until its been run for a few months that the varnish wears off due to the excessive heat. The boiler stays shiny because of the insulation which keeps it relatively cold, but the smokeboxes didn’t need to be insulated like the boilers themselves so the varnish was less protected.
Are you sure smokeboxes were turned out matt? I always thought they were turned out gloss like the rest of the loco and went more matt/grey over time due to the interaction between the heat and the paint. Heat resistant matt/grey paint on smokeboxes from new is as far as I know a preservation era feature. Also interested to know whether the running number would have been a cast plate or just painted onto the bunker. The Midland/LMS would have just painted the number on as they didn’t tend to use cast plates, but that may or may not also be true of the NCC.
Finish is difficult thing in O. The large diesel locomotives look very tempting but at the scale the eggshell seems not to work. A more gloss like would be difficult too and again at this scale it flat panel sides looks quite jarring when the prototype panels are far from flat. Needs bright people to examine why the satin finish that seems ok at OO fails in O.
Well, this reminds me of my first train set that was my grandfather's and given to me along with the Christmas Layout. It was from the 1930's and made of pressed metal with lighted cars and used the 3-rail O-gage system. Sadly, an ocean saltwater flood of the isle Wildwood New Jersey destroyed everything in 1964.

NCC-19? Damn, I knew the Federation’s first ships would be primitive, but I had no idea they were literally coal-powered.
Ha ha 🙂👍

Bro it’s a steam locomotive of course it’s steam powered
Two, 7456 and 7553, were converted to the 5 ft 3 in (1,600 mm) Irish broad gauge in 1944 and 1945 for use on Northern Counties Committee lines in Northern Ireland, becoming the NCC Class Y, and numbered 18 and 19.

Yeah absolutely - O gauge is a totally different story for Dapol! Yeah a diffuser plate would have been good actually, fair point!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Indeed...as a point of reference the three-rail O scale Big Boys (die-cast boilers, running gear and tender) weigh in the neighborhood of 20 pounds (9.07 Kg).
Great review as usual👍(Definitely the best paint scheme) At that price I feel bad for not buying 1 and setting up an O gauge garden layout. 😆
I think a dapol oo gauge jinty stole one of Mario's mushroom lol
Great video sam keep it up
wow. i'd love to have that just to display it, the lms fowler class 3f is my favorite tank engine and it looks beautiful!
What a bargain, as you say some details are a tad lax, but overall another reason to salute Dapol.
Thank you Sam for a most entertaining review.
This O gauge Jinty model from Dapol is nice Sam. Plus, 125 British Pounds for this model is an extremely reasonable price. By the way, do you plan to review the Ellis Clark O gauge Black 5 soon Sam?
Great video, Sam.
Speaking of Heljan O-gauge, will you consider reviewing their upcoming Class 153? I couldn't resist ordering the OO gauge 155 when they announced it this week!
Lovely Locomotive Sam.
It certainly was very good value for money specially for o gauge.
Take care
Basil.
I wish we had two rail O in America. I despise three rail but I think O is the perfect size. Large but not as large as G (which is what I currently have) but doesn’t take much more room for a layout than HO.
But in America we have three rail and it’s more of a toy rather than prototypical.
There is two rail from the likes of atlas
Happy to see your o gauge layout again!
Yeah, it really is a banger for me :D
Yeah it's been a while hasn't it? Thank you! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Thank you for reviewing this, I was considering it as I bought my previous O gauge vehicles on your recommendation.
Ahh fantastic - yeah it's up there with the others from Dapol really, worth a look at least!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video Sam, my only foray into o gauge is a Lima 4F and a Class 33 both of which I have detailed, they are displayed along and just above my oo layout as unfortunately I just don't have the room, with them are LMS comp and brake coaches with a slaters kit built LMS brake/guards van
Well, a slow selling loco but then your luck. It's been quite a while since you've done O stuff. With covering some more gauges the attention has to be spread of course. O gauge on professional layouts are so fascinating to look at but one needs plenty of room. Especially large locos such as mallets really do become quite de creatures on their own, but also locos such as the German icon BR 103 really sparkle the imagination profoundly when fully detailed such as working pantographs under overhead wires. This one is a true bargain Sam. Lovely loco. Cheerio.
Thanks a lot for sharing Linda - yeah my setup really isn't geared for large locos, as much as I know I'd love them!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I keep forgetting that O scale isn't restricted to Lionel 3 rail track.
The O gauge collection is growing. I wish we had more Irish locos in the market though.
If only the American O Gauge engines were as cheap. Great video.
Really hope to see you review the O gauge 57xx in future! I hear it's got WORKING internal valve gear.
It does.
Yeah I have seen that in action - amazing!!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Got my first British o gauge from Ellisclarke on the way!
Brilliant Sam just got one thanks Keep the brilliant review's up just so good
I'll have to start calling you two tier Sam if you carry on with reviews like this one.
Could you possibly review the *LiOnEl* 0-6-0T? I know it could very well not work because of the 3 rails, but it would be so surreal seeing an American o gauge loco in your book!
Hornby just did a collaboration with marks models here in ireland for the same loco in 00 gauge. only costs 99 euro and it’s a simple loco but the livery is very good and it’s a good loco for the price
I was just starting to wonder about how the O gauge layout was doing last video. Hopefully this is the start of a few O guage reviews this year; I tend to be a fan of the bigger stuff myself.
Sam, That is a bargain, well done Dapol, great review.
The Jinti is a classic of Model Railways, and is a favourite layout loco. You certainly had a bargain. Did you know you can buy a bag of trees on Hornby's website for £99? I kid you not!
Thankyou Sam great review and an o gauge locomotive well done
Maybe you can make the Jinty a 3D printed coal load Sam. Might be a nice short video you could run in the Christmas Break.
You need to pick up one of the Pannier tanks now.
Rails have a 58xx with sound in the sale for £325.00. Dapol have a 14xx with sound in their sale for £260.00. Dapol also have a LMS maroon Jinty with sound for £250.00. The DCC fitted version is £255.00. Thank you for the review.
Blimey that's amazing isn't it? Great prices for this stuff!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam, I have to disagree with one thing. You brought an analogue model. There should thus be no need for a speaker, which I believe you need DCC to operate. To include a speaker would mean supplying a feature that can-not be used, which would increase the price. Why should people pay for something they are never going to use?
Speakers tend not to be inexpensive parts. Often difficult to retrofit in a satisfactory way. Those of us who do use DCC find it simple to pop a decoder in with a speaker ready fitted. Makes sense to factory fit a speaker so the model is truly DCC ready. Admittedly if you are committed analogue - it seems wasteful, but then, the speaker is part of the loco and if it is sold, it’s still a feature than many want to find. So I’d say a decent speaker installation is a good thing for couple of pounds it might cost to put one in.
this o gauge jinty has a nice budget price.
i compare it to maerklin and the latest from maerkiln has a rrp of €7700 .
£120 is a beginer priced loco from dapol in o gauge.
it has every thing in my budget target price as to a beginer loco.
thanks for up loadin o gauge it is always nice to see british locos in oo and in o, tt.
👍👍👍👍🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Bro.. it’s not possible to compare that. They aren’t the same gauges. One is fully loaded with high end materials and dcc functions etc. and one is a plain old little tank engine with just the most basic function.
First Iam not you bro do not call me that .to call me bro when i am not related to you is a insult.

Ironically the NCC Jinty ran on 5' 3"' track so back to back should be 32 mm. Not all Jinties had lever reverse, some had screw reversers. Those originally built for the S & D had screw reverses. It certainly is a beautiful model and yours was very good value.
That is an excellent model. Although I have not bought any O gauge models. I really do like the size of the locos and rolling stock as gets closer to the real thing. It would be interesting to see what you think to Dapol's 08 shunter.
What a great value locomotive. Its nice to a reasonable price!
I checked the price of the engine in usd and wow 166$ is a bargain for a O gauge model considering Lionel charges up to like 500 for some of their locomotives lol, absolutely fantastic model
You should do a review on Dapol's 57xx in O gauge Sam. I have one of them that I got over 2 years ago, and it's such an amazing model.
Cheers Jasper & Willow
how much is it?
Funny Story Sam, I've been trying to find one in the S&DJR livery for a good price. Hopefully one day I'll be able to get it.
Cheers Jasper & Willow
Oooh, the NCC Jinties have gone pricey again but there's currently a 58xx (14xx) in first BRITISH RAILWAYS black for only £125. Fill yer boots folks!
Do the Lionel o gauge Thomas and friends line
If there is a GWR/BR Prairie, give one a review. Make an old man happy. 😊 It seems there are. Reading £152.00 RRP. Give it a whirl.
I bought the BR black early crest number 47569 from Rails for £125! Superb Loco.
Sam could you try 3d printing a hyper realistic Thomas model in oo scale I would love to see that thanks
May be the reason for bargain price is simply if its an Irish Jinty as the livery suggests, then the wheel gauge is wrong, given the railway actually used 5' 3" track.
Do you say the same about all the OO models with underscale track gauge? Or do anything about it?
19:55 I find it odd they didn't use a glazed plastic piece to obscure the bare LEDs. How visible are they when you look at it from above?
Awesome video today Sam what a beautiful modle
How about a Terrier tank locomotive? They’re gorgeous little locomotives!!
Maby one of the dapol 57xx pannier would be a good one. As a new batch should be out some time in the future
Will you get the O Gauge J94 / Austerity 0-6-0?
Maybe a waste on your smaller layout but a look at the Ellis Clark Black 5 must be on the cards, never actually seen any large tender locos in detail on O gauge
Makes a nice change for choice of livery.
You should definitely take a looks at the n gauge clan line, by graham farish, their pacific locos are really good, none of that drive shaft stuff
Cool
The only o scale items I have are some brass replicas is skarloey,rheneas and rusty from Thomas the tank engine
Looks like a Jinty!! Nice locomotive to run.
This is a lovely loco and for the price is fantastic! Id love to start O gauge but sadly don't have room :(
8:57
Actually, thats technically not true, when newly delivered the smokeboxes would‘ve been glossy like the rest of the loco. Its not until its been run for a few months that the varnish wears off due to the excessive heat. The boiler stays shiny because of the insulation which keeps it relatively cold, but the smokeboxes didn’t need to be insulated like the boilers themselves so the varnish was less protected.
Top video Sam would like to see a review of a heljan 43xx in o gauge
The mechanism seems a bit noisy. Typical for O scale, or not?
Are you sure smokeboxes were turned out matt? I always thought they were turned out gloss like the rest of the loco and went more matt/grey over time due to the interaction between the heat and the paint. Heat resistant matt/grey paint on smokeboxes from new is as far as I know a preservation era feature. Also interested to know whether the running number would have been a cast plate or just painted onto the bunker. The Midland/LMS would have just painted the number on as they didn’t tend to use cast plates, but that may or may not also be true of the NCC.
I didn't even know you did O gauge stuff!
125 quid - you can't get the same in TT for that money :)
Dapols 0 gauge pannier tank would be a really good one
And easy enough to re livery, re number and add details.. a bargain for anyone wanting to have an o gauge layout.. do it !
Finish is difficult thing in O. The large diesel locomotives look very tempting but at the scale the eggshell seems not to work. A more gloss like would be difficult too and again at this scale it flat panel sides looks quite jarring when the prototype panels are far from flat. Needs bright people to examine why the satin finish that seems ok at OO fails in O.
All in All, this is a nice model!
What a Lovely Jinty - I Like Jintys 😉🚂🚂🚂
Man I wish I could find this and make it into awdrys mark 2 thomas
