33C Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Not really a Nellie bash, just an experiment to see how L.B.S.C. livery would look on the model after reading about Vivien Thomson's layout. 18 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
33C Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Another quick "Jintystein"or B12 bash, a J19 with dual identity. (I can only see one side at a time on my layout!) 16 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I can only see one side at a time on my layout!) Really nice 33C; I have an alternative to do some time. A Jaycraft(?) one-piece moulding for a J19, which is supposed to fit over a standard Hornby chassis with the B12 tender. If it looks as good as this I'll be happy.

Hi all, 33c I just love that paint scheme. It seems to fit the engine so well. Just to let you know I have started on the Drummondesque X class 0-6-4 tank.

Rob Funny that, it's because i couldn't find a Jaycraft body that i did this! Make sure you have the right type of 0-6-0 Triang chassis.(flat front, weighted, smoke unit or solid). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia NSE Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Looks like I'm going to need to order a set of transfers! A quick touch up on the paintwork and a coat of gloss varnish to prepare for them. Just need to decide what size to order Replacement buffers are on the way from Peters Spares, with the usual disclaimer, after breaking one a few weeks ago. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the major components at the weekend. If/when I get round to this one, it's going to require some surgery to get the body to sit lower; at the moment even with the weight removed from the front end, it rides about a foot too high (compared to some Airfix/Mainline vans I had sat around). Interestingly though, the running plate is level with the tender, so that would need to be lowered too. The price label is still on the J19 body - I paid £1.50 for it (possibly over 25 years ago)! This fits no layout I have planned but always wanted to do this one after seeing an article in the RM back in the 80s, it seems such a relatively easy way to get a loco unavailable in RTR. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that; the other thing that's noticeably different on the Hornby/LMS version is the smokebox door. Apart from the length issue of course, but that's less easily fixed.

Gibbo675 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) Hi Folks, One tender drawing: The stepped down section at the rear is an open topped tool box and the bulkhead to contain the coal joins to the floor and separates the tool box form the coal space, Gibbo.

I've been on the lookout for one of these bodies for months now with no luck. It does look nice, though with more & more 3d printed loco bodies, one wonders whether someone could produce a "better" more up to date version of the J19? I suspect there's still a gap in the market for something like it; I know the old TriAng B12 tenders are still easy to come across & even the newer Hornby B12/B17/D16 tenders aren't that much from what I've seen on eBay. I'd curtly buy one... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherman Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) Hi all, My latest Jintystien is nearly finished. Just waiting for the transfers to arrive. Poor old Drummond.

cypherman Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) Hi Red, It is supposed to be is a Drummond X class 0-6-4 built with a bit of licence. But the likeness is uncanny. The question now is do I buy another H/D or Wrenn N2 and have a go at that one. My wife would probably have a fit as it would be the 6th N2 I would have bought in the past 4 weeks.......

sem34090 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) To be honest I can't see much similarity, besides the wheel arrangement, between the M1 and the Drummond-inspired bash in the post before that. The M1 looks altogether smaller to me, although that is probably just the effect of a taller chimney (And the GCR's bigger loading gauge).

RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted November 2, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 2, 2020 The Drummond's boiler is higher pitched and the tanks correspondingly taller. For the LD&ECR Class D, credit where it's due, i.e. Kitsons rather than Gorton. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much difference in loading gauge height the highland could build up to 13’3 3/4”. The Rivers and some Castles were built to this height The Drummond 0-6-4T was built to a lower height of 12’9” 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom, the LD&ECR's locomotive inspector / superintendent, who presumably gave Kitsons the specification for the Class D 0-6-4T, was taken onto Robinson's staff at the amalgamation and contributed to the design of the Class 1B 2-6-4T (LNER Class L1 until Thompson elbowed them out of the way), the first British standard-gauge class of that wheel arrangement. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarry-Steam65 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Goodbye Singapore - hello Hood! i had to rethink my ideas a little bit as my dark green paint “gummed up” and I had some RN Grey left over after an Airfix ‘Hood’ kit was built. The decals are also from an airfix kits, this time a Blackburn Buccaneer SC2. She does have crew and painted cab. I picked the name because my great grandfather served on Hood at some point in the 20-30s. Quite proud of my piece work. Now where’s the dockyard layout?... 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
