Ruston Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Dear all, I have recieved a PM asking if we could have a modelling section in this group! Although creating new sections is, obviously, not within my control anyway, I had to point out that this section is for modelling and prototype. When I made the banner (gone since the forum was off-line) it said something like Modelling - Prototype - Locomotives - Wagons - Systems. So there was no doubt about what the section could feature but as this is no longer in place I can see why someone could think that it's only about prototype discussions. We don't seem to have many actual modelling topics in here and, in fact, there are only two layouts in the whole section! Come on, chaps and chapesses, there must be more layouts out there and more projects being worked on that could be featured here, surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Come on, chaps and chapesses, there must be more layouts out there and more projects being worked on that could be featured here, surely? There's my project which will be starting in earnest this year about which I've posted in this section as it seemed the more appropriate area given it's very industrial theme in North Lincolnshire.

halfwit Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 If I do any more work on 'Undecided Aggregates' I'll get it moved to this section. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mophead Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I've got a few steelworks internal user scrap wagons on the go at the moment that I'm doing for a layout if I ever get round to it, scratch built bodies on old under frames and an ex br class 04 detailed as an industrial example, I'll try and upload some pics tonight Mophead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RThompson Posted February 17, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 17, 2012 i wont be starting my new layout till later this year although it has now gone from totally industrial to industrial/light railway to add a bit of added interest and challanges!

Arthur Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Very impressive PGH, really captures the look. The weighbridge building is spot on. What sort of loco is the one in the shed, in front of the Kerr Stuart Victory? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Oh,wow, I wasn't expecting that!! That is a lovely model, scratchbuilt I presume, and who cares that it never saw NCB service!! I did detect a strong Manchester Collieries connection, the shed looks like Walkden, the Kerr Stuart (Francis), and the weighbridge reminded me of the one that stood by the East Lancs overbridge, just south of Moselely Common colliery (though I guess the design was widespread). I spotted the distinctive shape of the bunker and it reminded me of the larger Nasmyth Wilson 0-6-0ST's (was one named Ellesmere?) which is why I asked. It was my local colliery system as a lad so I've always had an interest in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 PGH and Debs, I think that you should both start dedicated threads, certainly if you've got more photos and information. I'm sure that there's plenty of interest that both would generate. Thanks for the information regarding 'Katherine', very interesting. That guy coach shows some promise!! Yes, the larger Nasmyth Wilson 0-6-0ST's are not the most attractive locos, hulking great things, unlike the two smaller ones, Violet and Madge, which were much better proportioned. They'd all make interesting models though. As would their 0-8-0T's Maden and Emmanuel Clegg, again, not conventionally attractive, but certainly different. As for curved windows, I have thought of a method, though I've never tried it. Essentially you cut the window line, so a 'J' shape, into both the cill and lintel. It might be easier to make each as a front and back with the profile their shared faces. The 'glass' itself is cut over deep so that both top and bottom edges slot into the 'J' grooves to form the profile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi Dave, From the interest in the prototype thread here, I've got a thread running in the scratch building section here jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DLT Posted February 19, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 19, 2012 re request for details of more s.g. industrial layouts, here is a few photos of my 7mm scale NCB layout which may be of interest That is superb, I particularly like the ground cover/ballasting. Always a difficult area to model effectively, yours looks spot on. Thanks, Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
avonside1563 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 There's the Stafford Railway Circle's industrial layout New Haden Colliery featured in the last RMweb MI online magazine, links for photos and info on the layout can be found through the Staffordshire Finescale Railway Modelling Group's blog pages here http://staffordshirefinescale.wordpress.com/new-haden-colliery/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon hudson Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I have a thread going in layout topics progress is a little slow at the moment (I spend to much time on rmweb!! lol) a few pics to hopefully whet your appetite Little Phili No59 stands in a mock up of the two road running shed The shed is almost complete I have started the signal box and it is coming on well so I hope to put some photo's up in the next week or so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rope runner Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I have a few N locos I'm working on I hope to post up in April. I'm afraid it may increase the already extortionate prices of Peco/Wills industrial body shells, oh well ! Paul A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattWallace Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I've started a thread on a Fuel Terminal that I'm building if that would fit in here? http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/52642-easterleigh-fuel-terminal/ M. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

12CSVT Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Arthur Its the Manchester Collieries Manning Wardle 0-8-0T KATHARINE - out of period for the layout, as the prototype was scrapped pre NCB, which is why its hiding in the shed ! Hi, could you please let me know where you can get the fellow with the shunting pole from or what company makes them? Thankyou. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Nevard Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Here are a few - I'm not an accurate modeller, but if I can capture a bit of atmosphere then I'm happy enough... A few snaps - click for a bigger view if need be.... Cement Quay on the extension: Brewhouse Quay: Combwich: And finally a Super D which would be far too heavy and big for such a spot, but it looks the part!

Chris Nevard Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 A couple taken last night, this time of a Hunslet called 'Radstock' which is a messed about with Hornby J94. Access to the motor means there is a join along the base of the saddle tank, I might rework access to the motor to get rid of it - though as always it looks better in real life. Posh people would change the chassis, but I'm mechanically inept and this one runs really well as it is. The huge buffer heads are to avoid buffer lock on my other layout Brrwhouse Quay. Gibson ones more or less swap in place of the tiny Hornby ones. I chemically blacked them with Nickel silver blackener, the result is slight corrosion - a happy accident gone good! I'm in the process of reclaiming some of the water on CQ to allow more extensive gravel works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Having managed to get my Impetus Bagnall to a stage where taking pictures of it was worthwhile, I fished around in the stock boxes for the other two Impetus loco's in my collection. First is this little Fowler diesel which I've detailed in this thread, so it isn't exactly 'new' to the forum, but it does look nice in the sunshine. Second is this Hunslet 15" 0-6-0ST which I acquired in a built, and just about running, condition from a family friend who was finally abandoning EM in favour of O. A re-fit, full strip down and rebuild later... Hope you like folks. Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted April 17, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 17, 2012 When you strip the 15" down we can supply you with a better chimney and a dome with the safety valves the right way round.

Adam Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 When you strip the 15" down we can supply you with a better chimney and a dome with the safety valves the right way round. Michael Edge Judith Edge kits Hi Mike, this was stripped down, actually, now I think of it, about six years ago and all the bits are as Impetus supplied them. That said, the chimney is really rather naff and now you've pointed out the safety valves (which I should have picked up on earlier), they're going to have to go and a new smokebox dart would be good... Still, the opportunity to have another go at the lettering can be no bad thing. I'll drop you an email. Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5050 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 What happened to this thread? Surely we've had plenty of Industrial Modelling going on in the past nearly 3 years? To get things moving again, here's a couple of shots of 'Enigma Engineering' which is coming out of hibernation at Expo EM North in September. The 'grassy areas' at the front are now scenicked with a canal basin and a scrap yard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
