All the best TONY Tony The build I posted on here as I didn't do an article in the end as it was covered by someone else. Looking at my pictures they appear date around May 2018 so I guess that would be the starting point. Have no idea of page number. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Regards EDIT Had a quick look and it appears it started around page 71, then a gap as I waited to get the glazing.

RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted October 16, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 16, 2020 I think they will have to wait until the Manor at Little Muddle has managed to squeeze into the run round loop, unless the buffers have been moved! Parkinson’s law can’t apply unless time moves so Little Muddle, stuck in 1935, can expect no one to actually work. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted October 16, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Crane nearing completion. Couplings added, lead weight fitted to add a bit of substance to an otherwise very light model, signs painted by 'dabbing' (my Granddaughter thought I had been performing a dance move when I mentioned it, initially I had no idea what she was talking about - I do now). Transfer added, didn't have the name Yate in my set so had to cobble one together using letters from other locations... Just chain to add and done. Plan to post pictures of the crane build to help others tomorrow as the instructions left a lot to be desired so hopefully they will help to save a lot of head scratching and hair pulling.

MrWolf Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 That is looking great. It makes a nice model once you figure it out and it's not too hard to build. I look forward to your photos, perhaps we can bundle them into a file along with Chuffinghell's pictures and send them to Cambrian. Help them sell a good few more seeing that everyone grumbles about the instructions! 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KNP Posted October 17, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) GWR 6ton Crane and Match Truck by: Cambrian model rail Ref: C5 The purpose of these pictures is to show how I built the crane as the instructions are minimal with some unclear pictures included. Most of the instructions are written with the pieces not identified on the sprues, perhaps here numbering them on the sprues and referring to that would help considerably during the build. This is my interpretation of the construction, pictures and information is very sparse on this model so built using a bit of builders license is needed at times. Starting No wheels come with the model so I brought some from Cambrian. Next all the bits laid out, minimal flash but quite a few bits with mould lines where the two halves haven't quite lined up - fiddly but sortable Next after the wagon builds these are all the pieces for the crane cleaned up. The match truck and crane underframe where simple builds so I will just include some pictures for guidance Now for the crane itself I shan't describe a blow for blow build rather show each sub stage as I progressed and hopefully you can work out the pieces needed Just would like to point out on the last two pictures that the 'T' support was only glued on one side of the T so I could pull the sides apart to get the cross rods in easier. The crane assembly stood on the underframe only Unfortunately at this point if was difficult to take pictures of the jib construction because you had to hold, glue, line up, setting of glue which left no hands to take a pictures. The following one is all I have showing lining up wasn't easy Filing and filler needed..... Jib in place once ready to check alignment. Crane hook fixing lug copied from Chuffinghell (Warren Branch) (white bit) as I thought - that's a good idea. Happy, now fixed. And ready to be fitted, mine is fixed in place so it was glued to the underframe Hope this helps any one planning to build this rather unusual by lovely model. Not sure if this is the right place to poste this as only the people following LM will see it, any ideas where this could also be posted? More pictures to follow in the next day or two of the competed model, might even be seen behind a loco somewhere!!!!
