Quote ".........I want to check how my soldering is before starting on the Grange kit" From all your past builds, your soldering is some of the best I've seen on here!! Regards, Deano. Hello all, thanks for that Deano, it has been a while since I have used the hot stick so I just wanted to check myself out. It has amazed me approx. 650 views in two days and I have to say thanks for all of the welcome back messages. Anyway back to the build before I go all doe eyed, for the new boy or girl in the class (or these that did not know and did not want to ask) this is what a riffler file looks like. If I see a diamond set at a good price I would like to get some. The sole-bars and inner channels formed to their basic shape, the first side is not a problem as I can get that to 90Deg. in my bending bars but the second side I can only get to about 75/80Deg. But I have a plan will it work or not we shall see. First fit the channel sections over a length of 6mm steel, then fit the two parts into my big bending bars (3/4" square) and clamp up, then into the vice and a full clamp up, it maybe a bit of over kill but we'll see if it worked? Getting the truss frames ready, with this set I was a bit over enthusiastic and bent it, not a big problem as I'll pop it in the vice to straighten it, if it still looks a bit iffy I'll use it in the middle of the wagon. The trusses fitted in place, I've still to fit one of the verticals in place. But these have to come off due to me misreading the instructions. In the instructions it says to have the bottom of the trusses at 16mm from the bottom of the sole-bar I had it in my head that it was from the bottom of the wagon floor at least I did not start cutting anything (see I do make mistakes), all of this time away from the workshop is starting to show.

ozzyo Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hello all, this is the sort of thing that keeps slowing me down, but I suppose it's better that it's long rather then short, you can see in the background how much I've had to drop the trusses down. All the main parts of the under-frame in place apart from the inner trusses. All of the trusses in place, on the cross beams as they have to be folded past 90Deg. so I had a brainwave and folded them with the half etched line on the out side and it worked. You then have to make the four uprights for the inner trusses, not a big hardship as you have some of the brass angle spare to make them from. The cross beams still have to be trimmed to length. and from the end, this really shows the length and this is not the longest of the bogie bolsters at 45' IIRC it was the borail at 62'. Not that much more brass to add just the brake gear and some strengthening beams. Then it's onto the white metal parts. OzzyO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzyo Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hello all, I'm now back in the workshop more or less full time (at last). I'm now back on to the Castles starting with 5010 first. I'm not going to do a blow by blow build on this loco as I've done this on Castles before. The restarting point is the set of frames at the front in the photo. The last job that I did today was to make this up notice who it looks like did the artwork, After the body has been soldered up, I'm going to have some fun fitting it in the frames as the frames have all the brake gear in place. If anyone know what the brackets are for I'd like to know, I think that some of the short ones are for holding the exhaust steam pipe in place under the ash pan. ATB OzzyO. PS. I'll probable do one or two write up per week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibateg Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Good to see you back mate! Looking forward to some more magic! I never bother with fold up trussing, I can never get it to fold well and use angle brass, it give a nice sharp edge:- Regards Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzyo Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hello all, the first job was fitting the front four horn-guides and axleboxs, I kept the rear fixed bearings in place to use as the datum point both for the front sets of axle boxes but also to make sure that the frames are true across the width. The rear horn guides and axle boxes. The ash panes as seen above. I've marked out the ash pan to see what I may have to remove to make it fit. The first cut, this will fit onto a frame spacer. What have I done???? Not enough by the looks of it! Fitted into the frames, was it worth all of the work? Well it looks the part, about all I have to do to it now is to make sure that the finale gearwheel clears it. ATB OzzyO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
