RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted March 25, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2018 So, multiple requests for an update seem to have happened! (all from the same person, but we'll ignore that bit!!) As you will have seen from Linny's thread, (if you haven't then why aren't you reading it!!) I have been playing with my Silhouette cutter. So for those of you that don't know what playing with a Silhouette cutter looks like, this is my first test with it: I have heard from people that the Silhouette cannot cope with beading very well as it cannot make cuts that fine, I beg to differ!! The biggest problem was my manhandling of the parts breaking them, however it did not take long to start being able to laminate multiple layers into something representing a Stroudley carriage: and once the duckets were built, I mocked up the carriage, so the boss could have a look: He approved me continuing my work! It was close for a bit but he decided I deserved a chance! So the rest of the walls were built and it started to go together nicely, at which point the boss showed up again!! He wondered why I was making a carriage with no wheels, and gave me a long speech about how important wheels are to a carriage, I have proper plans for this in the future, but I wanted to see how accurate the dimensions on the Bachmann Stroudleys were. It turns out they are very accurate!! Working on Linny's carriages gave me some motivation to play with the cutter a bit more, and although it took me a lot longer to make than I would like to admit, I do now have an unlimited supply of LB&SCR head code disks!! I managed to cut over 130 of them from the leftover plasticard on the sheet for the Stroudley Brake, all in all not a bad for 50p of Plasticard!! Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed, Gary 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dseagull Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I should warn you, I had Sebastian's last sheet of 10 thou on Saturday morning... In my defence, I have been using it for strapping on a scratchbuilt LBSC van! Looking good though, impressed at the level of finesse you can get from the silhouette. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinnylinny Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Looking good there, Gary! I think it might be possible to shorten the compartment dividers by lopping a bit off the bottom (and editing the inner end of the ducket) so that the whole body will sit on the Bachmann chassis. Maybe worth a try? If you decide to do any of the other three designs, it should just need the bottom 3mm or so of the compartment dividers chopping off. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the whole thing fitted on a Bachmann chassis, but they are pretty much to scale, if you don't mind the fact that one wheelset is further away from the coach end than the other! That, and the full-third is probably a simpler shape, what with not having to form the duckets. How did you find that as a task, by the way? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it would be quite easy to make it fit the Bachmann chassis, but I have a cunning plan for an easy scratch build!! I have already cut all the other designs, I just haven't gotten around to building them yet. I had no issues with the duckets, but that is probably because of how flexible the 10 thou is. THey are very well designed carriages!! and it did not take much work to get the Silhouette to like them!! Gary 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinnylinny Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 A scratch-build, you say? You mean you don't want a copy of the chassis parts? (Probably not - the chassis needs three(!) layers of 1mm card to make up, which would be mean LOT of laminating plasticard...) Glad you're enjoying them though! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted March 25, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2018 I think I already have a copy of the chassis parts. They will come in handy for the scratch build!! but yes getting 3mm thickness by laminating off the cutter would not be fun!! Gary 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ian Simpson Posted March 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2018 ...this is my first test with it: IMG_20180323_105132.jpg That's a pretty impressive first test! Brilliant job - never mind Stroudley, I think even Craven would have approved of that one! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killian keane Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Might this be of interest I wonder, London Victoria in the 1880s, surely the second vehicle in the train behind the D1 is a Craven amongst Stroudley stock? It would surely look more at home next to a Jenny Lind 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Here is a daft question... Bachmann Stroudley coaches? What have I been missing? Meanwhile...

sem34090 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 KILLIAN!!! What have I told you before about not posting such tempting pictures as that?! There's me hoping to make a start on 'Bognor' soon, then you throw that one in... and the fact that there was the LCDR and GWR at Victoria then... ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Skinnylinny Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Here is a daft question... Bachmann Stroudley coaches? What have I been missing? Bachmann US produce what they call "Red Branch Line Coaches" in their 00/H0 Thomas the Tank Engine range. It has been noted that the brake-end has the distinctively Stroudley end ducket, and the non-brake-end is decidedly a Stroudley D43 four-compartment second - laying the body over a 4mm scale drawing shows that it is actually a pretty accurate model, as long as you ignore the underframe... Sadly the brake coach is generic rather than a specific diagram that I can find, but it's still got that Stroudley look to it.

RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted March 26, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2018 Killian, That is an excellent shot!! and yes I would assume that is a Craven amongst Stroudley's. My question is what it the engine on the left?? I'm guessing that is also of Craven design! Sarah, The Bachmann Stroudley's are the USA Thomas Range ones I have been using, as seen behind Hailsham below. Gary PS. While typing this reply I got an email!!!!!! It's on its way!!! :danced: 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted March 26, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2018 Well that would be interesting if it is LNWR, Please let us know if you get an answer!! Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is what it the engine on the left?? I'm guessing that is also of Craven. This picture has been analysed for the recent book on LBSC Coaches. The Craven first is discussed in detail, with a drawing, and the LNWR loco on the Willesden train has been tentatively identified as 0-4-2ST No 1168.

RMweb Gold Regularity Posted March 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2018 It’s a Special tank, on a suburban service via Clapham Junction to Willesden. The coaches look to be in a plain colour, possibly brown, so they might be “workmen’s coaches”. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coaches look to be in a plain colour, possibly brown, so they might be “workmen’s coaches”. As I said, the LNWR loco has been identified, not by me, but by Premier Line experts, as an 0-4-2 saddle tank. There are many points of difference between the picture and a Special Tank, which would also have been an unlikely candidate for passenger service, being primarily a goods tank. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine (Kit Built...) will in theory be 1970s livery....I believe she had a cast brass nameplate then? Shewing my age again! Memories of that Cradboard model kit!

RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted March 26, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2018 Sarah, Yes she had cast brass nameplates in the 1970's, painted red I believe! Yes I had to get Bluebell after my impromptu driving experience last year, she does look good from inside the cab!!!!! Gary 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
