Barl Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I got a bit of a shock yesterday when she passed me around Adamstown heading back to Dublin, I was on the 15.35 to Newbridge and she tore past the window. Beautiful sight it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 She's been trouble ever since she returned to steam, but fingers crossed her problems are behind her now. The RPSI certainly won't want to have to run diesel-hauled Santa Specials again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenderg Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Excellent video , Heir flick do you have a model of 461 or is there some one else who has one? That's the K2 Mogul that bachmann did years back.? Surely someone has it tarted up, nameplates added, and coloured correctly? I only swapped a greener for black one a fortnight ago, and was hoping someone else had a "do's and dont's" before i got stuck in. Anyone? R.

The K2 Mogul Richie is nothing like 461 it would take a lot of work to make the Murphy model look like 461 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Fair point. It's quite a "cut n shut" job now that i compare the two, not to mind the entirely different running gear and all the fun that would entail. R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirflick Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 anyone game to make a resin body of 461 and use 'james's' undercarrage as chassis? i would definately take 2, one in battleship grey, the other in her current rpsi livery. perhaps its time to stick up a new thread on who would take one if someone was to take up the project...

I would,nt have the time Seamus, i can just about keep up with what i am doing and i dont think i could do 461 the justice it deserves, may be Des will think about.

BosKonay Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 She is. A few customised bits, new tender sides, some of Weshty's decals iirc and a lick of paint. Would def be in the market for a new version in current flying snail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hidden-agenda Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 The cabinet needs a dusting too To hell with the dust what else are you hiding? You could be shot at dawn for a despicable crime such as this. More pics and info please and dont get caught again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 ..... i dont think i could do 461 the justice it deserves, may be Des will think about. I think Des said a while ago that he was looking at designing kits for the D17 and D19 4-4-0s in the years ahead, but had no plans for any other steam classes. Half the problem with trying to design any locomotive kit is - in the absence of a preserved example - whether the original GA drawings, etc. are still available and accessible.

Guest hidden-agenda Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 i think you would make a smashing model of her - im thinking of your sulzer - a real beauty. remember me when you do a rerun! I admit i love building the things other people hav,nt built ( i will remember your name) and may-be i will get around to scratch building a steam loco at some stage and here,s the big question Seamus, can you pm me the wheel size and axle spaces of the donor loco including the pony wheels as i would dread to build the body and find the splashers dont match up with the wheels on the hornby chassis. Also does any one have a drawing for 461? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirflick Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 if you want, i will buy the chassis and send it on and i'll be your first customer should you decide to do it! (theres confidence for you:)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirflick Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 got out of bed at 1230 to catch 461 comming into portlaoise. the beauty was suppost to arrive at 1309 but was early and she slid into the sleeper plant. couldnt get a decent shot of her there so heres a few of her departurer...

(theres confidence for you:)) No Seamus as it would be well into next year or after before i would look at it, i will wait and get measurements or a drawing to work it all out before i decide for sure.
