Hi Everyone I have just bought my first Hornby model for over 45 years. I liked the look of the model and as i travelled a lot on the LNER in the 60's behind Deltic's I thought I would treat myself to a British Brand for a Change.
Has anyone have this model yet. I do know they have had issues with the smoke Deflectors breaking in Transit and they are addressing them as I phoned my order they assure me things will be okay. Babs
BUFFER BEEN OIL LAMPS.
Some version of original W1 in gey have go the two lamps for expels passenger ,but some have got three along front buffer beam and one above smoke box door. What is that signalling can not see it on lamp signal charts .
The two lamps on either LHS and RHS of the buffer beam is for an express passenger train (Source).
From memory; the 'all filled in' code (i.e. smokebox + 3 on buffer beam) was reserved for the royal train, however I am struggling to find a source for that one for some reason....
Huzzah, have found it (see pdf linked on page)! Is GWR, but my understanding is that the GWR, LNER and LMS were aligned for Headcodes, with only SR doing their own thing...
