Metrovik Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) Stunning Model, Alan, although I've always felt that the UTA livery looked a bit like the Graham farish shredded wheat loco.... Edited February 2 by Metrovik Typo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tullygrainey Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 After a very enjoyable weekend with Patrick Davey's Brookhall Mill at the Bangor Show last weekend, my loco-building gene started to agitate again. What next? A number of folk have suggested (and keep suggesting!) a BCDR Baltic but those things still have too many wheels and whirly bits. As well as all things BCDR, I have an abiding affection for scruffy little shunters, both steam and diesel and in my to-do drawer for a while now has lurked an etched kit for a Hawthorn Leslie 0-4-0 saddle tank crying out to be built. So I've made a start on it. Since it's not by any stretch an Irish loco, you'll find the build in the 'British Outline Modelling' part of the forum.

Galteemore Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Get you re valve gear Alan. Thank goodness the SLNC never bothered with such twentieth century monstrosities. What about No6 or 16 next? Know what you mean about that gene too- I am planning out a 10thou footplate right now…, 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know what you mean about that gene too- I am planning out a 10thou footplate right now…, Yes David! By coincidence I’ve been pondering No6 for a while. That particular wheel arrangement, along with 4-4-0s too seems to be tricky to get working properly so I’m tempted by the challenge. I have a copy of Mike Sharman’s little book ‘Flexichas’ in which he describes a novel approach. I’d like to try it! A bogie tank would be good too. I did one from an Adams Radial but it would be nice to get a bit closer to the prototype with a scratch build. What are you planning with that footplate? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galteemore Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) Sounds good Alan. No 6 in either incarnation would be delightful. As for me, I am returning to a long-stalled project to build an ex-GNRI 4-4-0, a J class….now on its second attempt at a chassis…..bottom pic shows attempt 1, before I managed to find a Beyer Peacock GA. Top pic shows bogie almost ready to roll. Edited March 28 by Galteemore 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Holman Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Alphagraphix do the County Down 2-4-0 in 7mm scale and the MGWR G2 as well. The photo on the website of the latter is the one I built. Did a GER E4 2-4-0 as well, back in the day. Nowhere near as challenging as a 4-4-0, because they are not much different to an 0-6-0. Bit of side play and springing on the front wheels and Robert is your father's brother! Well, mostly... 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
