boeing7572t6 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Hello Mike, Which model of Wickham(7mm) trolley do you produce, in what medium and any thoughts on motorising? Best wishes and may I be the first to welcome you here Bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike hughes Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Bob Many thanks The Wickham trolley body is whitemetal and haven't a clue what the prototype is. It's one of the range of kits I acquired from Model Express. There are no wheels and not sure on the best way to motorise it would be (I'm aware that there should be another seat end, need to modify mould a bit) Hope that helps Regards Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted December 24, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2016 Hello Mike, I shall be in touch after Christmas about your RTR 7mm JUA iron ore hoppers, initially for one, but with the aim of putting a 14 or 15 vehicle set together. Do you have any pictures, can't see any of that type on your Flickr page? Can I ask what you expect delivery to be? Not that I'm in any rush! Cheers Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfers shouldn't cause a major issue as there's only the numbers/data panel, and the yellow PO plate I think, but I'll have a chat with Steve at Railtec, given time I'm sure he'll be willing!

mike hughes Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Mike can you please ID this wagon kit bought from Express Models a few years ago. Ian G Ian The body is of a single bolster. The body can do all 3 versions of BR type (diagram 1/400 is 8' wb unfitted, diagram 1/402 is 10' unfitted and diagram 1/405 is 8 shoe vacuum fitted) and I'm pretty certain the steel bodied LNER type. We use the parkside bolster. We've got NMRS models to do the square duplex buffers for diagram 1/402 Hope that helps a bit Regards Michael Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian G Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Michael thank you for this, I have 2 of these kits and will go for the vac fitted ones. Regards Ian G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike hughes Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 I've finally got back to doing some modelling (my dad can't do anything until he's out of hospital) Hopefully soon i'll be doing a mould for a rebodied 21t coal hopper body. I'll be using a parkside chassis for this. I'll post a photo of this soon. Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike hughes Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Just a few pics of the body of the 21t coal hopper, before I do a bit of rubbing down and giving a coat of grey primer. Also been working on a commission for a Fruit D (need to redo roof on it) Michael 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike hughes Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 My dads now out of hospital and just now a slow process of getting him back to health. Least he's back to doing a little bit. I've at least the coal hopper body in primer, have noticed a couple of small blemishes which just require a bit of cleaning up before I make the mould Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nth Degree Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Hello Michael, hope your dad's well. Any sign of the Derby Lightweight kit yet? I may be able to pop over to the club this Sunday, but is childcare dependant. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be able to pop over to the club this Sunday, but is childcare dependant. Steve Hello Steve, Unfortunately as possibly saw in the club email dads health has taken a step back. Due to all this I've done very little modelling since we last spoke about this. I will email NRM and find out if they have drawings and at the bare minimum take a trip to the Eccelsbourne valley railway to take photos. Hopefully see you tomorrow.

mike hughes Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 I have been working on masters for a new bogie for use under the LMS design Salmon (and some early BR ones). Should be sending this away very soon. I've made a start on the Bogie for the ex Milk van Queen Mary as well. Michael 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
