God help you.

After all, the LMS did something similar before sending the two Jinties to work on the NCC; they turned the driving wheels centres inside out on the original axles, gaining the necessary clearance and wider gauge that way. An Irish solution for an Irish problem!
-
The cab structure itself was not wider. That retained its British width. The same thing happened on the K1a as well.
-
Not quite as simple as that - the overall width over footplate was at least 6 inches wider than the N, as was the width between the frames - once you notice it, you can't "unsee" it.

I thought Robertsbridge was in East Sussex.* *geographical joke

Empty stock?

The other good thing is that all issues seem to end up in the online archive later on, so it's always possible to access them.

That reminds me I have two or three "singles" to tackle in the years ahead, including a Midland Railway "Spinner" and a GWR Dean Single. Adhesion, or lack of it, will be amusing....

Does that not amount to the same?
-
Given the pricing strategy of Shapeways in recent years, wouldn't that just make the models unaffordable?
-
I think the J26 tank would be an interesting comparison with the old TMD/SSM design, and castings for it might be available as a pack from Des at SSM. And yes, the facility to build it in 21mm gauge is important. Wonder what the price would be? There's nothing else in that list that interests me, I'm afraid, unless Roger has a sudden hankering to produce a K1/K1a, 400 or 500 class!

how much would it take to fix up the tralee to blenervile
Horsetan replied to irishrailways52's topic in General Chat
Better off scrapping it. At least you'd get some money back. -
He can take a while to reply, partly because the e-mail software he uses isn't exactly the best. That said, sometimes he happens to be online and replies within minutes. I've had an e-mail from him in the last couple of weeks as he is ready to send me that J15 kit....which I now have to find "near enough" wheels for....

I keep saying that it's a wonder the scrap metal thieves hadn't moved in and cut stuff up years ago. -
You'll notice that the majority of these are fairly bland, so that people don't end up with bad breath after eating.

Ernies Massive Irish 1930's to 2005 Photo Archive

GMK005 has J15 no.108 at the head of the train GMK003 looks like 558 from this angle, due to the shape of the last numeral on the plate. -

I prefer horses.

I'd suggest that New Zealand doesn't yet have the feral culture that has spread itself over Britain and Ireland during the last few decades.
-
Managed to acquire a set of the correct P4 profile wheels. The axles are to be replaced with longer ones appropriate for 21mm gauge.

The 'RA boys were always good at hiding bodies.

I've long been an advocate of punishment that fits the crime. Arsonists should therefore be burned at the stake.

Sorry for your trouble. To most of us who never met him, news like this is always a shock. Ken provided a number of very helpful drawings and measurements to help the construction of my SSM kit for the 800 Class 4-6-0, making the engineering puzzle that bit easier to understand. I'll always be grateful for his knowledge.

Spare Mk.2 bogies?
