Forum-1211528 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 The Jinty loco has been around a long time with Rovex as it all started off with the Tr-ang R52 in BR Black in the fifties that had the body screw in the locos chimney, this was later moved so there is a screw in the side of the body could be fitted with the SYNCROSMOKE unit! Hornby made their new Jinty in the late seventies this replaced the Triang model and no more smoke units! My favorite Jinty is the Railway Children one i like it with the great coaches that came in the set and this has since been combined with a Bachmann Railway Children set that has a Pannier tank with two coaches these now coumpled to the Tri-ang Coaches this looks great i love my Triang Railway Children Jinty so what Jintys do you love?? 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo1707820979 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Hi Colin. I think the Crimson and Gold LMS livery looks good. Not unusual but contrasts well with a greenish or grey background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The son of Triangman Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I think you have the wrong issue date Colin, the Hornby Jinty still used today was first issued in the LMS livery as 16440 in 1978 as R.052 using the old Jinty catalouge number.

Ruffnut Thorston Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Not really "prototypical", as "Jintys" were all (I think) painted Black, except the S&DR versions....which would be may favourite livery I suppose! The 16440 as modelled by Hornby (and more recently by BM) is based on an example as "preserved" at the Midland Railway (Centre) at Butterly...

The son of Triangman Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Yes indeedy and the loco feature on the front of the 1978 catalouge as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buz Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Hi allSteam engines are black only top link passanger engines where painted in colourfull liveries.The S&D would possibly be the exception that proves the rule 😆There are odd exceptions to the rule, but usually done for business reasons, like the Caly pug in full CR livery which was a station pilotat Edinburgh Waverly, I think.Business image is important.regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffnut Thorston Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Hi Buz... The Caley it seems did paint a lot of the smaller locos Blue as standard...but possibly not as small as the Pugs.... Station Pilots carried all sorts of "nice" liveries.... It woukd make a good subject for a collection! The GWR, apart from Wartime, painted almost every loco Green....goods locos included. THe SR, amongst others I believe only painted goods locos Black.... 😉 Hi Jeff.... Ah yes, The Hornby Railways train set that included an LNER Green "Jinty" (Was it a J83 number?) and the LNER "Teak" liveried GWR Celestory coaches, the short 1960 introduced versions!

Possibly the body had not yet been modified to fit the SSPP chassis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btm Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Wow, you are bringing back memories of my childhood. I had the Tri-ang version with the screw in the chimney. That was with my first tri-ang train set (a secondhand one at that) that i got for Christmas 1961 when I was 7. That loco gave fantastic service for nearly 3 decades with my ownership. Sadly the wheels were really pitted and had even started to catch on super 4 track. When I changed to a finer scale track in the 1980's, that was the end for it.So for me, it has to be that one. An R50 Princess (circa 1955) pulling three maroon LMS coaches (the 6 inch long ones not the modern ones and the R52 0-6-0 pulling a short goods train running over standard track, that was heaven.

81F Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I think the best applies livery that looked the smartest was BR plain black (see https://hattonsimages.blob.core.windows.net/products/R1075Jinty_1014785_Qty1_1.JPG) sadly it doesn't show the lettering on the bunker. I bought one to "repaint" into early LMS black (preyed out the tank and bunkersides only). The prettiest must be the originsl preserved LMS (psudo Midland fully lined red). I say original because the railroad version lacks some of the lining (the black bits). and the LMS "Crimson" looks a little pink However, I wish hornby would do a Northern Counties Committee version.

The son of Triangman Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 A good question, It has the blackened see through wheels and is from the era when wheels were made code 100 friendly. It runs lovely on modern track. The loco dates from 1973 and has been fully restored from scrap condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postman Prat Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Hi Caiptean To the best of my knowledge Jinties were always plain black although one was painted green for a movie and another painted diffrently by NCB after purchase from BR. The only other variant was a small number were overhauled at Darlington, near the end of steam, and these could be identified by the number being on the tank side rather than on the bunker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Mainly Black....S&D "Bagnalls" were originally Blue, as they were officially Mixed Traffic. On take-over by the LMS in 1930, they were all painted Black... The Tri-ang lining would seem to be a fiction, but nice.... A station pilot paint job? A few GWR Panniers were Lined Black for Paddington Pilots (Though it didn't stop them getting a bit dirty! 😉 )/media/tinymce_upload/b1c23ef306ad9db269a2ca619b0ca5fb.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postman Prat Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hi Sarah You've done a good job detailing the pannier and then 'bulling' it up. Looks really great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hi PP. Thanks, but..... That black lined pannier is the BM (Blue Box) version, and is as it came out of the box! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altyboy Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 My first Jinty was one of the first models made in the box that opened at the top in the slightly darker red packaging that was replaced by the more scarlet colour we are all familiar with.However I am surprised that nobody has mentioned in this topic the 2015 R3362 Railroad Class 3F Jinty WD Dunkerque which must be the most unusual Jinty produced by Hornby available only to Collectors Club members originally. I have been looking for one so far without success but eventually I'll find one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
