popeye Posted December 2, 2013 Author Posted December 2, 2013 Thank's for your kind words. Some of the parts used are as follows. Hooks are by MJT No 2953, Buffers by MJT No 2350 and brakepipes by MJT No 2950. The yellow hand wheels are a brass etch from DC Kits. Quote
Georgeconna Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Best ballast hopper I have seen, Lovely weathering on that along with the stenciling. Did you go for Stencils or Decals. Quote
popeye Posted December 2, 2013 Author Posted December 2, 2013 Thanks, I got the transfers from studio Scale Models. Quote
Aussie Phil Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Just moved this from an old thread. NIR Ballast Wagon.Built from Cambrian Models kit C67 SR 40T Hopper Wagon, SSM Transfers, Ballast is from Woodland Scenics Med Grey. The paint is Humbrol Insignia yellow 154. Not a bad kit to build but some tricky bits on the two ends.

David Holman Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Two little gems. Given the size of the photo compared to the model, that is very sharp work indeed! Quote
Kirley Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks, I got the transfers from studio Scale Models. Thanks for the tip on where to source the hand wheels but I can't find the transfers on SSM Web Site? Quote
popeye Posted December 5, 2013 Author Posted December 5, 2013 Hi Kirley, on SSM website go to transfers then freight and scroll down to F12 with pic of ploughvan. Quote
popeye Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 Here are some pic's of my CIE Brakevan moved here from an old post. 1 Quote
Glenderg Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Popeye, your work never ceases to amaze me. The subtlety of the weathering is divine. Hard to fathom its only 4mm scale... 1 Quote
BosKonay Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Just perfect. Love the clean sharp lines and detail and the 'just right' lick of weathering! Quote
heirflick Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Stunning work...and you make it look so simple! Quote
scahalane Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Nice modelling combined with a flawless paint job, 10 out of 10. Quote
popeye Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 Here is a picture of one of my Bruhn tanks with my new Kone reach stacker by Oxford diecast. And here is a pic of the real thing from Bruhn website. Bruhn Tank & Kone Crane..bmp Quote
popeye Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 Yes C-Rail container tank kit & Studio scale models transfers. Quote
David Holman Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Superb work Popeye - as set me thinking about how to do a 7mm version. interesting thing about wagon kits is that the expensive bits are the running gear, buffers etc, while the bodywork is about a fiver at the most. So, what brakevan did you start with? Am hoping could do the same with a Slaters or Parkside kit. Quote
jhb171achill Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 That brake van - a much neglected but necessary prototype - is a really superb job. Excellent weathering too. Quote
popeye Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks for all your comments. David the Brakevan chassis is Parkside Dundas 10ft wheel base but i shuold have used 12ft to be correct length. The doors were taken from an old hornby brakevan, but you could make your own. Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Superb work Popeye - as set me thinking about how to do a 7mm version. interesting thing about wagon kits is that the expensive bits are the running gear, buffers etc, while the bodywork is about a fiver at the most. So, what brakevan did you start with? Am hoping could do the same with a Slaters or Parkside kit. Made using a Lima O gauge brake van chassis, the rest is plastic card Quote
Warbonnet Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Looking good Dave and Popeye, excellent work! Quote
popeye Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) I have been building a brass Park Royal Coach from Worsley Works over the past year. The Bogies used are from Bachmann 36-008A so are the Buffers.Torpedo ventilators are from MJT 2940. The roof was made from plastic with a frame of curved ribbs covered with very thin plasticard. The seating was also made with plastic. Edited February 18, 2014 by popeye 2 1 1 Quote

Kirley Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Excellent job, the making of the roof, the most difficult part of the build, is on a different level. Well done. Quote
