Bob I have modified a couple of passenger six wheeled carriages, as per prototypes, which have gone to departmental use,and which have been fitted with...
I don't think that is the problem. The individual wheels move freely up and down with it off the track. When a wheel travels over a bump, the weight of the...
I use D & S Rocking W irons. Brass, more prototypical thickness, and there is a provision to put springy wire between the fixed set and the moving set which...
Sorry Terry I realise my reply was not clear. The vehicle I mention had a red cross on a door and the white cross. So it would be the white cross that...
This wagon building is becoming a habit! As I need grey for the Stephenson Clarke wagon/s I thought I'd also build the Slater's MR 8 ton open (ref. 7027)...
Iknow these were (or still are) very basic kits to say the least! Even so, I'd like to have a go at their ROD 2-8-0. The question is, are they still available?...
I am about to order wheels for my SR Q class 0-6-0 from Slaters. My references specify 5'1" 16 spoke driving wheels and 4' 10 spoke tender wheels. Slaters list...
Well my NER V1 brake van is "finished in the brass" (ie. needs paint, decals, etc). I'm having a lot of difficult working out what the lamp arrangements would...
It depends on how much detail you want on a model. The ROD loco was fairly basic anyway and I personally think that the Leinster makes into a reasonable...
Andy, The usual rule for the exposed ironwork is that it would be black when made - japanned is, I think, the term for the process, essentially a coat of a...
Perfect Miniatures range can now be found at www.themodelkitshop.co.uk. The Nutter is there. I bought a Nutter a couple of years ago as an impulse buy. I only...
Dear Bill, Thank you for your prompt reply. According to Wikipedia there should be a mound of earth with the rampart on top. Does your kit come with the earth,...
Hi Peter I cannot send a photo because I am 1500 miles or more from home. If you care to send me an e-mail at the beginning of December when I return I will be...
I agree, if you only need a few nuts or so its a better way considering also the initial cost of the nutter Adrian [Non-text portions of this message...
Can someone tell me what sizes of brake vans ran on the Hemyock Branch? I am looking at the pre-to-post-WWII era. TIA - Bruce Wilson Barrie, Ontario Life...
John, I have recently built a Haywood Railway Q Class and I used the 7848SW wheels. I think that they look corrent. I have certainly not seen any photographic...
Bruce, Given the relatively small train loads involved, together with the way in which all trains were run as mixed, I would have thought that one of the...
Hi all I forgot to add that with the nutter, you don't need to drill holes and you can slide the bits around to position them. I have made lines of rivets...
... Thanks Jim. I have a number of books on the Hemyock branch but I can not recall ever seeing spelled out clearly the Toads used. The 16T makes sense. Now...
Richard. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â How about a couple of pics i have just completed the DJB kit its on the group photo's. Â Best Regards, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Fred....
Sounds just the job! As for detail,I feel the actual loco looked pretty basic anyway. But are they still available? Any idea of the price of the ROD + Chassis?...
Terry It seems your references are better then mine when it comes to braking the stock. I have found that pictures of departmental coaching stock are few and...
A licence is not required for crenelations less than 3.6 metres in length provided that the crenelations do not exceed 1.2 metres in height and are provided...
Oh for a pint of Adnams down here. Haven't really supped it since I was at Cranfield. Oh and I don't believe you can get four bodies safely behind 3.6 metre of...
The price of the frames I think is about £25.00, and the loco, which is still available was around the £60-70 mark I believe. Give Leinster a ring and he...
John, Thanks for that info, and to all the others who have commented on "the nutter". I thought it made nuts with the bolts already in, but that seems not to...
Bob, you should hijack a consignment of St. Austell Tribute as it passes you on its way to East Anglia - one of my locals serves it! Rumour has it that it's...
