Porcy Mane Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 How about an A4 on Cemflos? Quite a regular occurrence judging by the amount of photos published down the years.

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted January 29, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29, 2017 Thanks Stovepipe, Measured and photographed the end platform cylinders. Artwork to be prepared next week. Waiting confirmation of 3D printing and parts availability. Had a great afternoon while they struggled to get a crane on the back of a low loader. A guided tour round the oldest railway building in the world at the Darlington Railway Preservation Society (owners of Std 2 78018 - famed as the loco stuck in snow on Blea Moor in 1963. Bob Super work Bob, chassis and underframe next week then? Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 This photo appeared in the 'Jeff P's photos' thread:- http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/119230-jeff-ps-photos/&do=findComment&comment=2596665 As Clive Mortimore pointed out later in the thread, a bit of Cemflo is visible beyond the 'van.

RBAGE Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 The trouble with getting parts made to scale by 3D printing is that they will be a bit snug in the space that Hornby have built into their model. Everything might have to be squeezed a little. I didn't measure the platform width under the hopper overhang but the scale width of the cylinders plus brackets works out at 50mm. The Hornby cemflo has about 50.5mm. Anyhow, the artwork is being prepared and then straight on to printing. Let me know if there is any interest and I'll ask to have any added to the print run.

Is this now about locos on *any* Cemflo service or about the Cliffe-Uddingston trains along the ECML which did not run after 1968? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porcy Mane Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 I can't see a problem in opening this out into a general Cemflo discussion. There's plenty of references to non ECML traffic earlier in the thread. I do like a little bit of deviation. P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrushVeteran Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Are there any detailed drawings available for either the Metro-Cammell or Gloucester built wagons? If someone can point me in the right direct for a possible source of these I would be obliged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I think somebody got out of the wrong side of the bed Paul. Mike. No, I just don't appreciate the implication that my idea of a rare event was actually a regular occurrence without (so far) providing one iota of evidence to support the claim.

davefrk Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Lanarkshire Models was and still is quite prepared to master and cast these cylinders for general sale if Paul or Mike had been able to measure them up, whilst I only live a couple of miles from Uddingston and can remember the wagons sitting in the sidings there are none left in this neck of the woods now.

jonhall Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Does anyone know of any component manufacturer who supplies axlebox and suspension parts of this type in 4mm? Genesis. As to the Vacuum and AFI cylinders I'd think with a photo and the model it would be a pretty simple guestimate - yes perhaps it will be 5-10% wrong, but ultimately if it doesn't fit in the space left by Triang then it won't be much use.

jonhall Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Can't find any axle boxes / suspension assembly on Genesis site. They used to -that's whats under this one - it may be he has stopped doing them, or they are out of stock - perhaps he needs to know there is still demand? I know I've uploaded these before but I can't find the right thread. And this is what the Darlington one looks like, although I notice its on the later UIC double-link suspension rather than the original type Genesis did.
