With the tinking table open again, I’m trying to get another loco finished before Stonehouse goes to Expo EM. It’s one of the ex PD&SWJR 0-6-2T’s built by Hawthorn Leslie. The origin of the model is a CSP kit and has been on my to do list for a while. The chassis will be compensated and I’ve got the body done. Frames are done with rods etc and next will be to fit the wheels. The high level gearbox is in the bench so hopefully not too far to go now.

That looks rather nice. I've not built any of the CSP kits - what it's like to build?

I like them, though they can show their heritage. Most of them are shot down 7mm kits originally drawn by Pete Stamper under the Agenoria brand. They're not in the Mitchell or Finney stable, but do offer an interesting range of prototypes. They make up into nice models with a bit of patience.

Sometimes you have to deviate from the instructions. In the past I've added CSB's or tweaked the assembly to allow the body to split.

You get a load of lost wax castings and always have some left overs for the spares box!

I've built their 1361, Peckett and a 1366 chassis without any difficulty. I've a couple more to do; the 0-6-0 PDSWJR Hawthorn Leslie and Cardiff Rly/GWR 1338 Kitson 0-4-0.

Thank you, they sound like fairly typical 'good' brass kits. I feel an order coming on.

That's serious hauling power for a modest railway.

 

I had a browse of the PD&SWJR pages on the col. Stephens website. Some lovely photos of the 0-6-2Ts, including one pulling 4-wheelers. Are the coaches in the building programme too?

They have a nice outline don’t they? I’ve got some of the Hornby generic coaches which will do for a start. May upgrade later. It depends on whether I extend the layout.
