RMweb Premium Moxy Posted June 18, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 18, 2020 Guys, I hate to be a killjoy, but could we please get back to the Pugbashes this thread is supposed to be about? There are plenty of other threads to discuss coaches/secondhand dealers/state of the hobby etc. etc. Thanks 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Adam FW Posted June 18, 2020 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Coming back on topic here’s my latest model. In this case a (new) terrier bash where the chassis has been cut down to fit under a 3d printed manning wardle body I designed I’ve got a bit left to do (clear coat, coal, numbering, window glazing, name plate and builders plates) but I’m very happy with it so far. I’m open to suggestions on the loco name, I was thinking Pegasus to go along with my Bellerophon or maybe Corsair as something nautical as I want to make a dockyard layout As per usual there’s more detail on the build in my workbench Edited June 18, 2020 by Adam FW 23 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarry-Steam65 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Practically everything on my layout is secondhand or hand built. the track is so knackered it gives a realistic industrial ‘roller coaster’ ride. Most of my new stuff comes from Birthdays and Christmas money. second hand is also the way I buy as it’s cheap but only requires a little service before it’s a good runner (damn, I’m late to the second hand topic, my mistake) Edited June 18, 2020 by Quarry-Steam65 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Corbs Posted June 18, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 18, 2020 Dave remade one of the Hornby ones into a realistic version of the real thing - there was an 0-4-0 and an 0-6-0 version. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Goat Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 4 hours ago, Corbs said: It might help to put both of the pictures at the same scale first before trying to make them fit each other I think the cab looks too small and needs more length to it. If the cab was lengthened a little and the smokebox or the boiler reduced a bit... Chassis can be shortened... But what about a class 03 chassis with reduced con rods so the con rods only cover the wheels. Would it look more convincing? I suggested the 04 or an 04 as the wheels are closer together. One needs a short wheelbase 0-6-0... And if that was a terrier wheelbase, it needs to be shorter still. The body may not actually need extending that much at all.

Joseph the L&YR lover Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 that looks more like it could be a 0-10-0 shunter...which i now want to make. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Corbs Posted June 19, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) I think the Dowlais/Hornby loco would tower over the Terrier and would not need stretching to fit the Terrier chassis, I think I have one of those bodies somewhere I could plonk on the chassis... 'Pant' was an 0-4-0T rebuilt to an 0-6-0T hence the squat look compared to the other two. Also this thread is helpful Mike Edge is also building the 0-6-0T version in metal - one had a belpaire firebox and the other had a round top.

RMweb Gold Corbs Posted June 19, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 19, 2020 I think the end of the terrier chassis needs to be sawn off, or part of the tank fronts, to make it fit snugly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenNewland Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hi all, Time for an update on the Smokey Joe bash. Unlike a few others, writing a few pages back, I have actually cut up my first loco I had as a kid. It was so battered and bruised I thought I would give it new life and continue enjoying it. I will try and embed photos from Flickr so here is a test run: Untitled by Ben Newland, on Flickr Ben 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BenNewland Posted June 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2020 That seemed to work. Ok, as for the budget chat, I like to do things cheaply. However, I was gifted a watchmakers lathe and some bars of brass. Very lucky indeed, so I set about making a chimney and saftey valve cover. I am a total beginner, so it was a shart learning curve, but due to lockdown, my only help was youtube vids (thought some were very good). Those on the ngrm forum I appologise for duplication, but thought this might be of interest here: Untitled by Ben Newland, on Flickr Taking inspiration from home made valvegear/motion, I cut up a fosters can and some nails: Untitled by Ben Newland, on Flickr Untitled by Ben Newland, on Flickr Untitled by Ben Newland, on Flickr I replaced the motor with an N20 one from ebay (2000 RPM). It runs very slowly indeed so here was a test run: Untitled by Ben Newland, on Flickr By the way, it took lots of fettling and arranging to get the motion to run smoothly, but worked well in the end It really is incredibly clunky really, when you compare it to RTR stuff. I very much feel on the "Hornby 4-wheel coach" end of the modelling spectrum but it has been fun to do, and still feel it looks better than without slide bars etc: Untitled by Ben Newland, on Flickr Keeping to the cheap theme, the smokebox door was made out of the plastic food lid (was a bit thinner than my 0.5mm styrene): Untitled by Ben Newland, on Flickr The front coupling was made from 0.9mm dia brass rod bashed with a hammer then with a blob of solder: Untitled by Ben Newland, on Flickr Following advice from a ngrm member, I used brass rod for the tension lock coupling: Untitled by Ben Newland, on Flickr Cab detail is basic at the moment, some sewing things for water gauges and the top of a nail for a valve - next time I might buy brass etched handwheels, but this was on a real budget: Untitled by Ben Newland, on Flickr Untitled by Ben Newland, on Flickr And finally, here she is on my microlayout - I did fork out for Fox transfers for the lining. It was my first go at lining, but again, youtube proved valuble. Patience and luckily my hands don't shake: Untitled by Ben Newland, on Flickr Funny looking beast, but I'm happy with it. I need to add a brake handle (which I have from a Dapol pug kit) and a reversing lever, then add some coal, and weather it. I don't know if the blow by blow account is really suitable for this thread. I am sorry if not. However, often when I see stuff on here, I want to know how they did it. All the best to you pugbashers out there. Have fun. I'm already taking inspiration from here for my next one! Ben 14 35 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sorry about that. Definitly sharp not shart! 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
