  1. Bear in mind this is only an early test print, still rife with imperfections both digital and in terms of print settings, even the primer didn't go on perfectly, but it fits the chassis as intended
  2. Unfortunately not, Ive just gone through my books and not come up with a match, but one thing that did tickle me was the tender attached to the loco is by far the oldest in the train
  3. Presumaby one such working or a weedkiller train Unfortunately I havent any widths to hand, will reply again if I find anything
  4. As I don't want any nasty surprises when I come to finally marry up the 800 body to its chassis, I'm currently running off a test print of the 90% finished model (Ive already done this with the tender body and that fits nicely), We're on the home straight now
  5. Sehr schön gemacht! Especially the model of no. 5, well done
  6. Thankfully I lost the tattered remains of my sanity many years ago so this job had no effect whatsoever on me
  7. Thats the 800 tender finished, hopefully
  8. Those are beautiful thank you Eoin, the tender is very nearly finished
  9. Yes empty stock at Broadstone, and only last night I was reading those locos were apparently put on Dublin-Galway mail trains if you can believe that!
  10. Id be very tempted by the MGWR 2-2-2 saddle tank
  11. Would anyone have a photo of the cab end of the 800 class tender? I am utterly lacking reference material for this unfortunately (I wont even bother asking for the WLW tender front, I'm just going to have to wing that!)
  12. A Padarn Railway 4ft gauge Hunslet, ideal for 00 track
  13. My computer has been on the fritz and has been in to be repaired for the last two weeks or so, therefore the anticipated finish date of mid May as advertised in the latest New Irish Lines will more realistically be the first week in June Its back now though and the 800 has been receiving cab and running board detail
  14. Ah yes a 'Notjeep' or Land Rover if you will
  15. I think I'll go for screw reverse on the WLW, if contradictory information arises its not the end of the world to change it, thanks all This is a rivetting process
  16. not forgetting this essential piece of viewing;
  17. we're all crying out for this
  18. Ive had some trouble establishing whether the WLW goods locos had screw or lever reverse, does anyone know?
  19. no.2 Shannon (Kitson, 1900) as GSR no.222, after rebuilding with a round top firebox No.57 Cyclops (Kitson, 1897), later GSR 238 at Fenit
  20. You can see the MGWR examples got Midland style smokeboxes and chimneys, the GSR apparently called these two class J17
  21. Yes the same class, but the earlier non belpaire version
  22. The WLWR loco in closeup, with its tender for anyone interested
  23. Thank you, the 2mm is down to the royal scot being shorter than the 800 mainly in the front bogie, if I'd have made it the full length I was concerned about the overhang of the front buffers etc on curves
  24. Precisely correct on both the prototype and the intended chassis, my local line being the former WLW I had to have a loco from that line, very scarce information on them unfortunately so designing has been like pulling teeth, but its coming along
