Sophia NSE Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) I thought the trailing wheel looked a little anaemic so I swapped it for one from a 14xx Edited September 19, 2020 by Sophia NSE Extra picture 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Pugbash Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) for once instead of thinking of "hmm that would be a nice bash" yours truly actually makes a thing, an 0-6-0 version of the 14xx (featuring a triang jinty chassis) the jinty chassis and autotank body need some filing, in the meantime i dropped the jinty body onto the 14xx chassis and voila presto, a very dainty little jintystein! just need some paint and transfers for her now (might cut out a bit of cab roof to make it look more victorian) Edited September 20, 2020 by Captain Pugbash 11 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Stanier 0-4-4T converted from a Triang Jinty. Not my own work, I bought it secondhand from Hobbytime in West Wickham in the 1970s. Looks good but it never ran that well. 0-4-4T is always difficult but using the original chassis leaves the motor in a location where it is putting everything out of balance. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherman Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Hi all, I wonder how well the Triang Hornby M7 0-4-4 would work with a Jinty body. Something I might do in the future perhaps. A pity I did not think of this before as I butchered up an M7 body for bits when I was upgrading the SECR 0-6-0.

Captain Pugbash Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 could've made a 2-4-0, but the splasher would be in the way and i can't be asked to remove it 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Pugbash Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 a bit of cutting and the 14xx had some progress, needs a slight extension to the frame and most likely a new boiler but she's starting to take shape 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be possible, but the Triang Hornby M7 has massive driving wheels M7 to R1 comparison M7 to 14xx comparison R1 to 14xx comparison The prototype M7 had 5'7" drivers, the same as the Stanier 0-4-4 and an inch bigger than my Q1 but the 14xx drivers seem to sit much better under the body. I'd be very interested to see if you can get the M7 chassis under the Jinty. Front splashers would have to be rebuilt, but I know you won't be afraid of that!

Seeing as it still retains the BR lining, it would be perfect as an LNWR, Midland or freelance 0-4-2T along with four-wheel and six-wheel coaches to haul.
