I loved these as a kid back in the early 80’s. I always wondered why they removed the cab of the slave. Surely it would have been easier and better for drivers just to have coupled the 08’s nose to nose and have a Class 13 with a cab at each end ?
Great build!
I don’t know - perhaps to avoid any need to fit the in cab radio and signal kit in both cabs? Only BR knows!
It is easier to drive an 08 bonnet leading. View is worse, but the 13s were on hump signals, so didn't often need to see the groundstaff.
If cab first, all the dials and gauges are behind you. Also some of the controls.
Finally, a use for the Dinosafari 08. Those things got damaged the day they were printed in the factory.
Looks good Jenny you now have your very own Mega Gronk.😂
#notacult!!
That weathering really pulled it together. Fabulous job 👏
Thanks!
Great work, well done Jenny.👍
Particularly appreciated the advice and techniques you shared re. weathering; that was really valuable and has given renewed confidence to me.👏
Glad it was helpful!
Also - this was an excellent project. Glad to see that you are getting into building things yourself. I suspect that you have underrated your ability to do this in the past.
Many thanks!
I think confidence is key. Now I have tackled this build I have more confidence (a class 10 is my plan to do next)
@@JenniferEKirk Excellent!
@@JenniferEKirk The class 10 were built not with the English Electric 6KT prime mover, but with the 350hp Crossley diesel engine type ESNT6 and two Crompton-Parkinson traction motors. These shunters were originally numbered 13117 to 13126,later D3117 to D3126. The following were fitted with the 350hp Lister-Blackstone prime movertype ER6T and two GEC type WT360 traction motors. These were numbered 13137 to 13151, later D3137 to D3151, D3439 toD3453; D3473 to D3502, D3612 to D3651, D4049 to D4094.
The following were fitted with the 350hp Lister-Blackstone prime mover type ER6T and two BTH traction motors : 13152 to 13166, later D3152 to D3166. There were slight variations in weight between 47 and 49 tons. The external appearence was the same as the 08s. All versions had 4ft 6in diameter wheels.
Hope this info is of help.
Nice build Jenny, I just completed a Midland Valenta - 3D Printed Lima/ Hornby Class 156 Detailing Kit. I now a better detailed Northern Settle / Carlisle 156 at a fraction of the cost to the Realtrack class 156, like most people I couldn't afford to spend £275 on the Realtrack one, so a Hornby at £100 with Midland Valenta kit at £30 a bit of fun and a saving! 👍😊
Brilliant video Jenny
Now this is real railway modeling, not just playing trains. Lovely mode🏁.A project I have wanted to attempt my self, (as if I need another project, I still want to super detail a Hornby Pug.) I would also need to find 2X class 08's which are very hard to come by in my neck of the woods. I think you nay have had a better paint finish if you had used an Airbrush, or Rattle can (aerosol) paint for the model especially on the black chassis. i hope that this wont be the last locomotive you a tempt, having dipped your toe into the warm water of locomotive construction.
So cool 😊
Thanks!
great video
Great Job Jenny very impressive modelling skills
Thanks!
Great job Jenny, much impressed! Rgds, Joachim
Thanks!
If they can make a GT3 then this I’m sure would be a good seller and it comes in two liveries and pre tops or tops numbering ,maybe even fictitious liveries too 😊
Options for a class 13 would be all three in BR green plus D numbers coupled cab to cab. Same livery but coupled nose to cab. 13002 at least got TOPS numbers in BR green. 13001 & 13003 in rail blue with wasp stripes on all noses and cabs plus yellow buffer beams. 13002 in rail blue but no wasp stripes on slave cab and black bufferbeams.
@@JenniferEKirkfingers crossed Jenny 😊
Great job! Nice to watch!
Thanks!
Fantastic Jenny lovely video great work 👏👏
Thanks!
Thanks really looked good .
Thanks!
Hi Jenny. A very interesting & engaging tutorial.
Would you happen to know why BR didn't just use 2 standard 08s in multiple, nose to nose?
I have no idea, though I know they needed the extra weight of the bufferbeam extensions. Maybe BR didn’t want the temptation of them getting ‘borrowed’ for other work, and it also meant the in cab signalling and radio kit only had to be fitted to one cab.
@JenniferEKirk Thanks for the reply. I saw you at Model World Live walking around with Mr Iron Horse, but didn't say "hi", as I thought you deserved to have some personal time enjoying the show without being stopped every 10 yards or so by well-wishers.
@@stephendavies6949 no problem!
The mega gronk I would love oun
#notacult! It was an easier build than I was expecting.
I approve of the mega-gronk. Also, I use Brasso rather than a fibreglass pen for removing numbers - less liable to rub off the paint underneath.
A great idea!
@@JenniferEKirk Plus, it's useful for polishing my doorknobs.
I see you’ve got a Class 13?
So a Class 13 would be an 0-6-0 + 0-6-0?
Yes it would.
So it’s actually a Class 13, but doesn’t that consist of a pair of 08s?
Sort of. They started out as 08s but had some custom modifications to become class 13s.
Dose the close coupling have any effect on them running on 1st or 2nd radius
