35018 British India Line

Don't forget that we've put the raves back on 34081.

 

And they were reinstated on Blackmore Vale ...

Or Is it OVS Bulleid?

 

Cue that chap who posts song videos on here ; Buddy Holly - Rave on.

 

Thought I had stumbled into a conversation about glow sticks here?

 

Collective known for Raves? An ecstasy of raves??
I remember a long discussion of Bulleid tenders in another thread, focussing on those on the MHR. Musical chairs with 34105, 34007 and 35005 plus a spare body (or two?) and some new frames being made. Plus Ropley made the tank ( I think)for 35006

 

Does anyone know why 35021 to 35027 all entered service with Light Pacific tenders.

Thanks

 

Raves sounds about right, Don't Bulleids also come with neon lights under the wheels

 

Looks good when they're switched on for night time running.

 

Brighton were building the tenders (all MNs built at Eastleigh). Five weren't ready in time, so some spares were borrowed, presumably awaiting Light Pacifics either being built or under overhaul.

For @Matt37401 - here is Braunton in freshly rebuilt condition. Not an MN tender.

 

35018-Is it out and about now?

 

We'd all like to know that!

 

it will be done, when its done , hopefully it shouldnt be long, i would imagine Carnforth would want to have it availible before the peak season.

 

I believe the delay is due to a shortage of the correct shade of maroon paint.

 

didnt you offer them your unused cans of Southern Malachite Green?

 

Nope. We're using that to paint our cars to match 34081.

 

Thank goodness you weren't planning to mix malachite and maroon

 

Isn't that what gWR did to make their paint?

 

Sorry, I was on about Braunton in 2010, when it returned to steam.

I know this is slightly thread drift, but would it be right to confirm that its now running with an adapted 5250 gallon tender on the shorter wheelbase?

Meanwhile back with 35018 - its not going to be black then?

And that confirming it has a 6000 gallon length tender, which has been adapted and increased in size.

 

How about LNER Silver & Grey?
