RMweb Gold Asterix2012 Posted August 20, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hi Guys Managed to pick up one of these off Ebay, a jamieson freelance 0-4-0T. Any thoughts on what it could be turned into? Was there any resmblance to an actual prototype? 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts on what it could be turned into? Was there any resmblance to an actual prototype? You could do pretty much whatever you want with that. As far as I'm aware though it doesn't match a real prototype. Don't quote me on that though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barclay Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Ha ha - I wanted that and then I forgot to place a bid! Look forward to seeing what you do with it. I can't say it reminds me of anything in particular though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonestTom Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 To me, it looks a bit like the old Hornby GWR 101. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BernardTPM Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 The body of the first one looks like a shortened J72, the second looks like a Polly/Nellie/Connie (possibly the 1970s version with the Lord of the Isles dome) with a J72 cab. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chassis (same on both?) looks unfamiliar to me, though I'm guessing it's Hornby. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelAndSoot Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 here is a pugbash I made. its a fireless engine. a mix between German and English (English cab German style boiler and paint job) 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelAndSoot Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 here is another engine I did. I have got no idea what it is but while I was sticking stuff together it kinda came out like this. Either way I am happy with it 12 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelAndSoot Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Say I was just wondering if someone could help me with this. I have a plan for another pugbash but to do so I will need to remove the body from the chassis. I don't have a soldering iron so if the wires where to become detached from the motor it would be very inconvenient as I would then need to buy a iron. So I was wondering if the body can be removed from the chassis without moving the motor as from all the diagrams I can find show the motor unable to be removed without the wires being detached. have no idea if it can be removed easily or not.

CinderMonkey Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Gotta love a good pugbash! It seems to me that one of the Electrotren Side Tank 'Barclays' could be bashed about to make one of the many similar english engines, akin to what Linny did back on page 21. I dunno if the wheelbase is correct for any of them, but you could at least have a 'creative approximation'. Possible opitons would include 1245 of the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway or the rather attractive Giesel-fitted NCB No.24 (photo courtesy of Jim Bavin via Flickr). Ack! Ive just noticed the erroneous external steam delivery pipes, so all you purist out there can be annoyed by that as well (though I doubt many purists visit this thread anyhow) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we talking the Caley Pug/Smokey Joe type or the e-Dapol L&Y type? On the Caley, I believe the body just comes off by releasing a couple of screws. The L&Y type has a two part body - the cab unclips and I can't just remember how the forward superstructure comes off, but as the motor's in the cab I shouldn't think you'd need to remove it. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the general arrangement of these vehicles was broadly similar wherever they were used. The one below has dumb buffers front and rear and seems to have an open front for access to the coal. The arrangement of running board and short wheelbase makes me think more and more that a Hornby or Bachmann GW shunters truck could be a good source - of the chassis at least. These tenders were generally rather shorter/older than any r-t-r open wagon, the one in the picture looks to have been built on the chassis of an ancient (1850s/60s) 4-ton or 6-ton mineral wagon. I'm guessing there's someone out there who offers kits of such things, but it's not really on my radar. If you can hack locos, shortening a Slaters or Cambrian wagon kit to produce something suitable shouldn't be difficult, and has the added advantage that you don't need to take it apart first.

rockershovel Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) While surfing about looking for pictures of turbine locomotives, I found this.. it appears to be an experimental loco fitted with quadruple turbines, built in Italy in 1905 and apparently incorporating the cab sides from a L&Y Pug. Here’s a challenge for someone! Edited September 11, 2019 by rockershovel 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that the 4 turbines were independent is peculiar. Were they free to rotate on their axles? I cant see how that would work without it crabbing on the track if one side rotates differently to the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
