Scale7JB said:Do you think the lid of that box (which I would imagine is access to the pony truck gubbins) opens? I can't see a handle anywhere, and I'll probably model it openable if it does. Come to think of it, that makes sense now. Maybe the rivets on 9000 are absent because it was on trial early on, and that area needed to be accessible regularly to check for wear, rather than later engines where it was only accessible at service?

Scale7JB said:Hi Adrian, Colin (Eastside Pilot on here) sent me some pictures of L1's hence why I put the rivets in on the top row of the front pony truck cover. I have had a look at the RCTS which I must get back to you along with the N7 Yeadons (which is safe and still in perfect condition I might add ) and there isnt anything in there specifically regarding any differences on prototype 9000.
Are there any shots of the front footplate area from a medium to high angle of 9000 or the LNER built L1's ? Are you at WMHQ tomorrow?Scale7JB said:[quote=""Pint of Adnams"":2ybbnrey]If it helps I have the L1 & V1/V3 Yeadon's Register - tell me what you are looking for and I'll check for text and photos...
and No - but if you were at WMHQ today no doubt you took the opportunity to check PJH's 'club' copy? If not let me know...[/quote:3b9wp1ft]Pint of Adnams said:[quote=""Scale7JB"":3b9wp1ft] Are you at WMHQ tomorrow?
