Pete Harvey Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Happy New Year all. Over the Christmas period i finished something I have been working for a while. I have designed it to fit on the Hornby class 08 frame there is a mode for the Hornby frame which will involve removing the cast wings either side of the 8 pin socket. As with the Hornby 08 I have modeled the cab so it slides over the cab end of the body to fit With the body and cab I will be supplying etched etched front grill, steps and name plates with body side grills, so that the four shunter's 08992-5 cam be modeled. The body and cab have been designed so DCC lighting and sound can be fitted. I will post pictures of the body once I get one and show it fitted.

Swindon 123 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Interesting project. I wish you success and although only found in deepest South Wales initially, they did get to spread their wings in later EWS days. For anyone who didn't realise just how much cutting down had to be done on the prototype,which includes me, have a look at Paul Bettanys photo on Flickr in the link. https://flic.kr/p/7vvJpd Paul J. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Corbs Posted January 8, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2018 Also what happens if you don't cut them down! 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Harvey Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 The price for all three versions of the Height restricted class 08 is £64.99 + £5.01 p+p I will be adding them to my website during this Quarter of the year. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Saunders Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Pete Might as well go the whole hog and do a full height as built version? Mark Saunders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Corbs Posted January 16, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16, 2018 uhhhh.... correct me if I'm wrong but I read Mark's comment as 'it is so finely detailed it gives the Hornby body a run for its money and if you did a full height version as well I think it would make a good replacement'?

Mark Saunders Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Well back at you. Why is a simple suggestion to do the body kit as a full height as built taken version for any one who has thought about rebuilding a rtr model! I do not understand "who cares" as I do not want to make this a slanging match over nothing! Mark Saunders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corbs Thank you for you input and view, if that is what Mark meant why wasn't that said or something that everyone can understand, I'm not out to re invent the wheel here and I'm not going to do something that's already on the market as RTR there is no point in that.

RMweb Gold russ p Posted January 16, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16, 2018 I think mark is paying you a big complement by saying your model is better than the Hornby one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindon 123 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 How about a nice LMS class 11 DE, 12033-12138 body to the same high standard, to fit on a chassis. Now I would be interested in a couple of them! Paul J. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I would be interested in a couple of them! Paul J. Hi Paul The LMS 350 has quite a few visual differences owing to its smaller diameter wheels. these include a lower running plate, and buffers are noticeably higher on the buffer beam. The SR Class 12 would be a viable model to go on the 08 chassis. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SR Class 12 would be a viable model to go on the 08 chassis. Equally as tempting. With regards to the LMS one differences, I have the bits to convert a chassis, its always been the body that was the stumbling block.

RMweb Gold russ p Posted January 16, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16, 2018 Russ but that has not been said. Hi pete Think its a case of reading between the lines. I've known Mark for years and he is not the kind of lad to take the P and certainly would not mean you any offense Russ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Harvey Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Ok Russ This why people get P***d off with forums and social media we shouldn't be a case of "reading between the lines". In the future don't try and be clever with words just say something so everyone can understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Saunders Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Please can we end this stupidity because I made half a suggestion and believed that the rest need not be said! This is not what was intended by a quick post to suggest that a complete body would be an amendment to an existing drawing/cad design!

RMweb Gold russ p Posted January 16, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16, 2018 And I getting clever with words was merely trying to diffuse a situation that was getting out of hand.

I was looking forward to you doing an 11 but I'd never buy anything off you now! Russ, I don't think Pete was referring to you when he mentioned getting clever with words, mate. This is all a bit of a silly misunderstanding. Mark's post was a positive one but perhaps slightly ambiguous. Pete misunderstood Mark's post and was cross about the ambiguity. Can we all shake hands and can someone put the kettle on please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin_R Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Ok Russ This why people get P***d off with forums and social media we shouldn't be a case of "reading between the lines". In the future don't try and be clever with words just say something so everyone can understand. Peter I suggest you re-read the original post, my understanding was in the reference to "as built version" which I guess neither Bachmann or Hornby have actually modelled - and no I don't want to get into a slanging match with you either.......
