Ullypug's tales from the tinking table

When there is nothing left to do, is that not when the plans for new come out?

 

Look really good, keep us updated.

Try the pages below for information. I think you will find it useful.

 

MODRATEC Useful Data (otherwise known as MUD) is a series of pages containing helpful information particularly relevant to rail modellers. This page tabulates the colours used for levers in mechanical lever frames as specified in the current British Rail Safety & Standards Board - Railway Group Standards guidance notes.

 

The changes are looking really good. Can't wait to see it running at a show.

Andrew - essentially... FPL lever = blue, point operating lever = black.

 

Looks great - have you documented the conversion of the 'N' anywhere else, btw?

Thanks for the info gents. Levers duly painted this evening.

No I haven't documented the conversion anywhere as it's straight out of MRJ 111 & 112 and the EMGS manual. 60 thou Plasticard spacer on the chassis block, keeper plate cut just behind the brake gear and reassembled. Fall plate, cab doors and tender chassis from Mainly Trains. The slide bars don't need to be moved provided you inset the leading crank pin or as I did omit the outer knuckle on the Alan Gibson universal coupling rods. The rods are only a single thickness on the leading crankpin but as it's behind the slide bars/motion you can't see the dodge.

Must add the route disks as these will hide the lack of outside steam pipes.

RT Models offer vestigial steam pipes for the N
