BG John Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 With my varied interests, I had an idea to use one of my three to make the prototype it was based on in EM gauge, and the other two for an O-16.5 Double Fairlie of sorts. Not sure when/if either will get done though, as my plans keep changing! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCB Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Ftting a 101 smokebox to Smoky Joe really Westernises Smoky Joe. Fitting Grafar N gauge Black 5 motion might make the Hornby 101 look like vaguely like 101. I have 2 X 101 s and that double Fairlie sounds better by the minute. As for the chassis, I have turned the middle from some non see thru wheels and they are not too bad but the motor is useless for railways but handy for scalextric and the rest of the plastic chassis probably belongs in the scrap box.

Graham456 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Having made a couple of branchlines chassis up for smokie joe's I have wondered if I could use this chassis as base for a inproved 101 chassis a few times,but I have not bothered or got serious enough about it to check the wheelbase yet, may be even if it's out it would look better than what's their at the moment I wonder why branchlines haven't been tempted to do a 101 chassis there selfs like the pug as their must be nearly as many out their needing one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernowtim Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I have found the current chassis has improved running and has a far lower top speed compared to the old ones!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lu4472ke Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 one of the things I'm planning to do with a 101, is pair it with an old Hornby B12 tender and creating and outside cylindered 0-4-0 tender engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butler Henderson Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Back to the original topic has anyone fitted a valve gear (whether or not its right for 101)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
