Steamben Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Gad! My first topic on RMWeb. This will follow the construction of the GEM/ Lychett Manor goods tank loco. It won't be made to represent 58850 on the Bluebell, but one of its fellow engines that escaped the scrapmans torch after the closure of the Cromford & High Peak. Anyway..... The frames, bearings, crossheads and connecting rods were done yesterday. https://flic.kr/p/CDKs8c https://flic.kr/p/22ifu6Z https://flic.kr/p/EaA34G Today I made up the cylinders, slidebars and started the brake gear. I wasn't looking forward to doing the cylinders, as it's always seemed one of those "too tricky" jobs. But I managed it quite well. https://flic.kr/p/ZYsA6r https://flic.kr/p/EbZaE1 https://flic.kr/p/Ho4WxR https://flic.kr/p/Ho51Gx https://flic.kr/p/Ho5cFr https://flic.kr/p/21ewNDU The instructions say to use a bit of wire, or scrap etch to make a support for the slidebars. Unfortunately, the wheels obstruct the slot in the frames, so I bent the supports to clear the wheels. https://flic.kr/p/Ec12zb Ben 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor Old Bruce Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Any chance of posting the photos instead of interminable links please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamben Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 The honest answer is I don't know. I posted these on my mobile using the url from flikr, which works on the other forum I post on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
