RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted September 1, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 1, 2013 'Pannier Tank' It's a 15XX on the next shelf down. Ah! the 15XX 'Speedy' probably the highest model to prototype rate, ever, 'there's farsands of the bleeders...' Good solid reliable models though.

Dinmore Manor Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Wow!!!!! Pictures please The 15XX was built by now late Grandfather, with me mucking in during school holidays and any other possible visits, to give me and my brother something to play with on the railway in the garden. He was an engineer rather than a railway enthusiast so detail is sparse and hence the emblems are the wrong way round etc. but it used to run quite well which was the main thing! I have only run it once in the 9 years since his passing but may well be taking it for a spin out in a little over a weeks time for a change to give the poor old O2 a rest...!

steve fay Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Where defiantly missing a trick in the smaller scales then especially after seeing how much that 4mm one sold for on eBay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted September 2, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 2, 2013 Where defiantly missing a trick in the smaller scales then especially after seeing how much that 4mm one sold for on eBay. No doubt the manufacturers take the view that 'one pannier looks very much like another and it won't sell'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted September 2, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 2, 2013 Ideal for model engineers as they are small, powerful and with outside cylinders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Boucher Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Finally managed to get a bit of time back on this, customer work and a workshop extension to more than double original size has been stopping me from doing much for some time...! However, the new needle roller axleboxes have been finished and she now sits on all her new wheels for the first time, a set of new scale buffers with chemically blackened heads have also been fitted. Next will be completion of the re-pinning/bushing of the valve gear, painting of the bottom end before re-fitting wheels and making a set of new coupling rods, something like that anyway...! 476728_10152001352931564_687257952_o.jpg 620427_10152438022076564_622751557_o.jpg 986718_10152438186006564_121260594_n.jpg 1167092_10152440522716564_418801318_o.jpg Looking good! If you're interested, I posted a video of my live steam club's annual meet, from a few weekends ago, on you tube. At about the 7:20 mark, there's a shot of a 4.75" gauge "Compton Manor" running on our highline. It was most built by a former GWR fireman named Harvey Fisher, who passed away just before it was finished. It had been test fired on rollers, but Harvey never saw it run on the track. His son Ian finished it, and its Ian who is running it in the video. IMHO, its one of the nicest engines we have at Washakum, beautiful workmanship and finish, and runs very well. And there's a still shot of it here: http://neme-s.org/Waushakum_Fall_2009/DSC06915.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
