Ullypug's tales from the tinking table

Very nice, as usual Andrew!

That chimney has really lifted it the model nicely.

 

Love the cab doors and handrails.

 

Nice work all round.

 

Cheers,

You are not supposed to stretch them you know. It makes for really poor running. 

Excellent modelling. I built a 7mm model some years ago, and from memory you may find the type of injectors you have fitted were only fitted to the first 10 of the class. I seem to remember the drawing I was using had these early injectors.

41241 on the KWVR in 1987.

The type of injector shown in Tim's photo is by far the most common. The first few locos had a horizontally mounted injector just below the tank/cab, mainly hidden behind a flat plate.

Looks just the part Andrew! One thing I've been doing, alongside seeing what Comet and Branchlines have to offer and assessing prototype photos, is seeing what is available in other scales. Not all of it will be easy, or possibly necessary, to scale down but it shows how the fittings can be tackled.

Have you left the bunker ladder as it was? I think this is my next challenge, as the Bachmann one is a bit chunky and doesnt have the same extension and fixing bracket at the bottom as the prototype.  I think the old Crownline detailing kit may have included this, but I don't think these are currently available (and would be about the only thing I'd use from it) I may well end up drawing one up.

Hi (I presume it’s Pete?!). If it is your 2MT on th S4Soc forum is very impressive.

I left the rear steps as they were as I didn’t feel I’d be able to replace with anything finer. Did you see Dave’s reference to MRJ92?

Mmmm. Now that would be worth sharing! I'd be happy to split any development costs.

Have you got the prototype information? I've got the GA and Pipe & Rod drawings.

Dave.

Sorry regarding injectors, must re check before commenting! Lovely model anyway!

Hi Andrew,

 

Yes, thats me! Though I'm sure there must be millions of people out there building them at the moment - lovely little engines, and with all this inspiration too!  Yes I have MRJ 92, and looking back at it this evening confirms that that is where I read about the Crownline etched ladder in it.

 

Thanks Dave - I have large scale (A2 I think, 1.5" scale) GAs which have side and rear view, which look to cover it. Your sketches for the pony bits, and generally sharing your progress and ideas is payment enough.

 

Cheers,

Pete

Hi,

 

Lovely model, what chimney did you use?

 

Thank you

I think it was Branchlines. Dave Holt sent me one of each from his spares box (Comet, Gibson and Branchlines) and I sent two back, but I can't remember which two!

It's brass, so it must be Branchlines or Gibson (my money is on the former).
