I still think this is the smartest and brightest looking livery on a Schools Class. If I buy any, it'll be wearing this....

I am loving the BR Green one.

[JeremiahBunyan]

I'm really liking those SR green ones with the green smoke deflectors. Really fantastic.

[Alan Arnold]

What is the min radii the Schools will negotiate

[Andy Dapol]

All our 'Tender' type locomotives are designed for minimum R2 (10 3/8 inch) curve. Clearances between the cylinder valve gear and front bogie make tighter curves quite difficult to design for without significant compromise to the model.

[Joel Dapol]

Hello Alan, this will work on 2nd radius curves.

[angr607]

Oh Hello! I think I might have to pre-order one of these. Looks absolutely Gorgeous. And seeing as I installed a loop of 2nd radius on the layout, would be a shame not to use it.

Cheers,

Jon

Looking excellent. I have been waiting for this for a while, but it will look right at home on my N Gauge version of Ropley!

Tom.

Had the green one on order. Then I saw the black one... and having done a bit of research, found out that there were black ones with early crests which lasted until withdrawl alongside the green ones in 1962. So I went and ordered a second one! Oh my wallet, with the Crompton's coming too...
