LNWR18901910

I purchased a Dapol N Gauge M7 along with winning three Graham Farish 4-Wheel Coaches to make a mini push-pull suburban rake based on the one in Kenilworth. Yes, it is the West Midlands Railway.

I say! Interesting coaches! I hope to make my own version someday soon.

Not long ago, I purchased a Dapol N Gauge M7 off eBay along with three Graham Farish N Scale 4 Wheel Coaches to create a Pre-Grouping style vintage train.

I'm currently focused on Pre-Grouping right now. The LNWR livery is best with the coaches.

Thanks for the tip, but I manage okay. I can still paint over the edges gently to even them as best as I can.

And now for something completely different as well as relevant to my modellign era and such: This is supposed to be an LNWR 4-4-0 which is mostly a George the Fifth locomotive made from asecond-hand Bachmann Edward model. And yes, it does run well in both directions and goes nicely with Toby's Museum Coaches which I feel strongly resemble LNWR coaching stock.

Does it run? I was thinking of making a similar version using a Dapol Railbus kit and a Black Beetle Motor. It would be an AC 9-Volt powered mini DMU for a 1970s and 1980s BR-era themed layout using short and simplified variations of prototypical real-life locomotives and rolling-stock.

I say! What a beauty of a Mogul! I hope this can be replicated in 00!

Ah, yes - how I love prototype diesel locomotives! Where can I find a short Bo-Bob chassis like that?

I say! What an interesting tank locomotive! It would be perfect for the London Midland and Grand Central Joint Railway (or LMGC for short!)

Nice model though it certainly looks complicated to build. I made one from a Bachmann C Class years ago based on the preserved No. 957 on the Worth Valley Railway.

I wonder how they'll turn out. James as the LBSCR K Class or the G&SWR Drummond 403 'Austrian Goods' Class would be something.

Anyone familiar with Budget Model Railways on YouTube and Instagram? They have done some interesting diesel conversions: My favourites so far are the Mini Class 17 and shortened Class 35.

Good luck to nayone who can attempt this in model-form!

I like this tank engine! I wish I could make a model like it.

Is it possible to remove the chassis from the body? If I was doing something similar, I'd try and make a freelance DMU or prototype HST.

We all know that the LBSCR H1 and H2 Atlantics (well, mostly the H2) are the same as the Ivatt Large Boiler C1 from the GNR, but what if the Midland Railway had an Atlantic of its own?

Amazing how well you pulled it off! It looks totally promising! Any Four and Six Wheel Coaches for her to haul?

Well, good luck with that. It looks promising so far,

Nice tank engine idea, but wasn't the N Class classification already taken by the Maunsell N Class? Also, I hope it still works again after re-assembly.

So, here's work on the SECR tank engine so far: This is what it started out as (being a rebrand of the old 0-4-0 Thomas model). At the time of writing this post, the coal bunker was modified and the loco was given a smooth file-down on the milliput areas. The SECR H Class and R1 Class tank engines did serve as inspirational influences on me. There were a couple of holes made in both sides as for when the time comes to cut off the extended side-tanks and make new boiler-sides and splasher tops. And as another finishing time, it will have hand-rails added into the boiler and smokebox yet they will be simply made using fine styrene rods and added on as if they were moulded on for that Triang-Hornby feel to them.

Interesting 4-4-0! Did you make it yourself?

I appreciate your suggestions, but I was intending to cut off the extended side tanks, fill in the extra cab window, level off the front to resemble the back, stylise the bunker and tanks and attach a Ramsbottom safety valve and whistle on the cab roof.

Nice Mogul! Is there a chance of making one? I hope to do so myself. Also, what would I need to make it?

I've been on a bit of a Pugbasher lately as well as focusing on my Postmodern Pre-Grouping project. Seeing as I discovered a way to create SECR coaches using Hornby's old Four Wheel Coaches, I thought about adding an SECR-liveried Hornby 0-4-0 made using one of their modern ones: So, here are some planning stages as I was inspired by the SECR H, R1 and P Classes to create a freelance SECR tank engine to compliment the coaches I made. I may be an LNWR and Midland fan, but I do have the soft spot for the SECR, LSWR, LB&SCR, NER, S&DJR and the GWR particularly the Dean and Churchward stuff. Anyone like the idea?
