Blog- Brassey's Blog - Dean Goods take 2


 Share

Recommended Posts

<p>It's been over 6 years since my first blog on the subject so here finally is an update on the Dean Goods situation.</p><p> </p><p>

Two have been seen testing goods trains on my track as I needed tender engines for the job. Both have recently acquired tenders. They are in the fiddle yards awaiting the next task.</p><p> </p><p>

The first, number 2306, features the rods from the initial blog, on a compensated Comet chassis. It's mainly an old Mallard kit with a narrowed footplate and some alternative parts surplus to requirements from a Martin Finney kit.</p><p> </p><p>

</p><p> </p><p>

The second, 2478, has a High Level chassis with another Mallard fooplate and cab plus some scratch building above deck. I has an old Jidenco tender. It will be finished in the pre 1908 livery hence the red Ultrascale wheels</p><p> </p><p>

</p><p> </p><p>

Next there is a plan to try out a sprung Comet chassis though both two these might get converted to DCC before that; not to mention the ballasting</p><div id='attach_wrap' class='rounded clearfix'>
