The 2015 Build Programme

Here is the list of projects I have planned for 2015....

 

- LNER class C5 'King Edward VII' as she appeared between April and September 1924. (GCR livery, LNER number).

 

- LNER class B4. Two models- one in 1922 Great Central black and one in 1923 LNER green.

 

- LNER class B2 'City of Lincoln' in Great Central green (as she appeared August 1922- February 1924).

 

- LNER class B8 'Sutton Nelthorpe'.

 

- LNER class D11 'Jutland' as she appeared March 1924 (GCR livery, LNER number).

 

-LNER class J10.

 

-LNER class C13.

 

-LNER class J58.

 

Most of these are existing models that will be rebuilt and repainted. The 'Imminghams' and 'Jersey Lily' are McGowan whitemetal kits, the 'Sam Fay' a K's. The 'Improved Director' is the GBL Bachmann knock-off, the J10 a DJH kit, the B8 is somebody's prior hackbash and the C13 somebody's prior scratchbuild. The J58 will be a hackbash from a Triang shunter from the 1960s.

 

Rolling stock:

 

-GCR 1911 mainline stock:

 

-Open Third

-Restaurant Composite

-Compartment Third

-Composite

-Brake Third (x2)

 

These will be a mixture of repainted Graham Farish OO stock and hackbashed Mainline/ Bachmann LMS Period I stock.

 

-GCR 1910 Barnums

 

-Open Third (x2)

 

These are etched brass kits. Their construction will be an education no doubt.

 

-GCR 1903 suburban stock:

 

-All First

-All Third (x2)

-Brake Third (x2)

 

Hackbashed Ratio Midland stock.

good luck with that, it sounds like the list of stock i am building up for dettingen on my thread on here. I would love to see progress on them, either you have a lot more time than me or work much faster as i am lucky to turn around a loco in 6 months.

Would enjoy swapping solutions to get results.

Absolutely; I'm currently experimenting to find a good standard of finish for GCR green (the Humbrol acyrlic brunswick just doesn't cut it for me- it looks too flat).  I'm seeing what gloss enamel will look like- after four coats of the Humbrol gloss I've a nice even finish but it still looks a little too dark and flat (though maybe that's because it hasn't been lined out yet).  John Quick's book on GCR liveries is a boon.  

 

I wouldn't say I have a lot of spare time; if I can spare an hour a day I consider myself lucky- my last loco, a D6, took about three months start to finish (although that includes two false starts and a period of being set aside whilst other things were being done).
