Ullypug's tales from the tinking table

I'm following your thread with great interest as I've 3 of these kits to do (you can never have too many Moguls) but heaven knows when I'll be able to get round to them. I want to produce 3 variants, including one of the early short-cab versions, all in early 1920s condition. Your use of CSB has rather encouraged me to go the same way so thank you for that! There is one thing - which gear box & motor are you using? I've been encouraged such that I might even make a start stocking up on the necessary parts for the first one from High Level Kits at Railex!

Hi Martin

It's a standard Roadrunner at 54:1

I'm going to mount the motor vertically exactly as Chris does with his Collett Goods chassis kit. Which motor will depend on what happens once the body is built but it should be a 1424 all being well.

Good luck and keep us informed of how you get on!

Thanks Andrew. I've just started a Mitchell 517 so when I'll start the Moguls is uncertain - I must resist the temptation to get distracted from it!
