Coal Tank

I've also had a look at the Princes, I am determined to make a success of this engine although the valve gear is a little daunting .ive just tak soldered the roof on for the moment and put the cab side wings in place .I seem to have lost a few bits which might be a problem so we will see what happens .Meanwhile back to the Beames 0-8-4 tank john

A little bit of work on the Coal tank

Hi a little bit on the Coal tank. Its not all soldered it's just about sitting there John

Hi Argos You would think so but some did have Webb buffers (I quickly checked again) John

A little bit more done to the Beames Tank .Ive fitted the valance buffer beams and buffers

Hi well ......... It's certainly been a while but I've got the Beames out again .Long story really .l started it ages ago but I just could not get it to work try as I might .In the end I asked Keith Glousester if he could have a look at it for me I'd given up .It seems that the hole in the middle of the gear wheel wasn't square to the gear .Keith very kindly took the chassis apart and also re drilled the gear and put an insert into it .It now moves really nicely .The only problem is that the motor has stopped working .So I'll get a new one .I did do a short video of it being moved by the jinty but I can't seem to load it on here . It would be nice to be able to get thr 0-8-2 version john

Hi would anyone know where I can get a maxon 118391 motor as they no longer hold them in the Association stores John
