Website Class 73 detail pictures

[Brian Daniels]

I have just uploaded 90 detail pictures around a couple of 73's that still have all the vac gear on the bufferbeams if you need it.

Marvellous, Brian, many thanks.
I was actually looking at that collection on Thursday evening, so it's great to know there's more to see.
Cheers,
Steph

I have got some round an MLV to add as well later.

Very helpful stuff for when a good ED model appears Brian

One thing I still haven't managed to find out is what the pipe that loops under the 2nd man's buffer is for. The big chunky one that usually got painted white when ex works. https://www.flickr.com/photos/brianews/14771006279/in/set-72157627030673260
Do you know what it's for?

Cheers

Something to do with the vacuum side of things as it's not on the air only ones Tom. The only 73 is the old RJH one unfortunatly but I am tempted to give one a go

I'm not a fan of the RJH one, it just doesn't look 73 enough for me. So I'm hoping something better will come along one day. If you do one, would you consider large logo?

Cheers

Beggers can't be choosers Tom so it's a case of doing your best with what we got to do a nice blue 73

Proper job

Brian,

Great pictures - thanks for posting, I can see me doing a whole load of etched nonsense for one of those. Now how much is that PRMRP kit...?

The post at the top of this thread: http://www.westernthunder.co.uk/index.php?threads/7mm-class-73-and-class-81.3680/#post-96746 made me think that the PRMRP/RJH Class 73 might be worth persevering with...

OK, but with yellow coaches?

It's very well built and nicely painted, a good job on the kit, but it just doesn't look 73 enough for my liking Steph.

Cheers

Tom,

The PWP/RJH et all, despite its age and other niggles, isn't *that* bad, just a few clunky castings (especially the MU fittings),



PS - no vac hose on the 'white pipe' (or the MU bits), must get round to that !

Regards,

Andy

I built one of these kits about 10 years ago. A nice kit in general but i spent quite a bit of time altering the front windows as they just didnt look right. Sorry no pics and i no longer have it.

Thanks for putting up the model pics and the link to the E6012 as I knew I saw a decent model on a forum but could not for the life of me remember where. This day and age we have the ability to get some etches and 3D printing done and get some correct MU castings so we should be able to get a half decent job out of one. If I do one I would probably make a separate chassis for it to take the DCC chip.
