Earlswood Nob Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Good morning all I have recently bought a Cotswold L&Y 0-6-2T kit, but sadly instructions were not included. The kit was later produced by Nucast as NC215. I would appreciate it, if someone could copy the instructions for me. It is an unusual kit as the 0-6-2Ts were all withdrawn by 1932. Research shows that the loco was designed by Barton-Wright and originally worked passenger services west of the Pennines, before migrating east in later life. I have pics in Barry Lane's book of L&Y locomotives and the Illustrated History of LMS Locomotives to help me building the kit, but there are a few pieces that I cannot fathom where they fit.

Earlswood Nob Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 G'day all I have managed to work out where the pieces fit except for those inside the white loop. Does anyone have any ideas? Earlswood nob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted October 3, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 3, 2016 The four triangular ones look like buffer beam gussets, two top right could be inside the cab - seats/tank tops? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 This looks interesting. I have the Cotswold 2-4-2T kit. I got a EM chassis from Mousa (Bill Bedford). Then Bachmann came out with theirs - curses! I'll follow this with great interest - you may even inspire me to do mine. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlswood Nob Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Good morning all Thanks for the replies and info. John (Brossard), I also have the Cotswold 2-4-2T to build. I thought about the Bachmann RTR 2-4-2T, but it has a short bunker and I wanted the long bunker variant. I will build the 2-4-2T before the 0-6-2T, but first I have the L&Y 7F 0-8-0 to complete.

brossard Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I got the Bachmann 2-4-2T model from a friend, in a swap, and I have to say it really looks great. Pretty sure I couldn't do one that is as good - then again, maybe this kit building business is more about challenging oneself to do better.
