  1. Hello everyone,

     

    Just wondering if you guys can help me out here, I'm looking for some plans/drawings of the CIE H vans that were commonly seen north and south, I want to make a model of one and maybe try out some resin casting in the near future to produce multiple models,

     

    Thanks in advance.

  2. Just settling in after a great exhibition, it was a brilliant show and I think everyone really did enjoy themselves. A video of the show is still being edited and will hopefully be up sometime this week, my spoil wagons joined others on bleach green and together they recreated a classic 20 rake spoil train from the late 60s double headed by 2 Jeeps, what a sight it was, stay tuned for the vid of this. The exhibition also provided me the chance to give the milk van that I made to my friend and he was very happy with it, here it is on his layout (his pics)

    I have a number of examinations in the upcoming weeks so I'm not going to start any new projects until mid December, so until then I shall be finishing off current projects such as the seaplane and tank, just small military models, exams come first! But what is does give me the chance to do is go through everything I have and start ordering stuff ready for the new year, I've already ordered a lining pen and about to order stuff to help me with my wagon building.

  3. Isn't it just typical, once you get a correct wheelbase length 14ft (BR dogfish hopper wagon) the overall length is shorter only 22ft, but then again I guess you can always add to the length to make it correct?

  4. Finding a suitable wagon is quite hard,

    I was thinking about the LNER 21ton hopper wagons (Dapol do separate chassis for these) while the length is perfect the wheelbase is 12ft :( so that's Glenderg with 16ft and me with 12ft hahaha, must keep looking.

  5. The brown vans have a wheelbase of 14ft and their length over buffers are 27' 8" the total height from top of railhead to the top of the roof was 12' 4".

     

    Hope this helps :) can't wait to see your models of them and what a great pic that is above.

     

    Edit: if you want to see one in the flesh, downpatrick have a couple including 2 with the outside W irons.

  6. Can you go over that bit about metal dust again- you lick the dust right?????? ;)

    Hahahahahhah xD=))

     

    Sorry Glenderg, this tutorial is rather interesting and helpful, it almost makes me want to buy a flat now.

  7. Thanks for your comment, ^ I'll be changing the load shortly.

     

    A friend of mine wanted me to make him a Thomas the tank milk van and the orders were to keep it nice and simple so here's my efforts, it's a scratch built body on a Cambrian Underframe kit, the roof and couplings will be fitted after painting.
