John lewsey Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) These two five compartment brakes are also under construction at the moment again these are LRM kits where would LNWR modeling be without them .

Brassey Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Hi John Good to see an LNWR workbench. The paint work on the 50ft coach looks superb which is a real challenge. Is that a 6wheel PBV in the background too? I've been tinkering with a DX Special Goods for five years now and also have a Jumbo and Whitworth on the todo list. All also from LRM Cheers Peter 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John lewsey Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Hi Peter thank you for that Jol did an article in MRJ no 52 or 53 on how to line these coaches I just followed that .I must admit I am pretty chuffed (ha. ha) with them the coach in the back ground is a 7mm D&S kit John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire2865 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I know nothing about coaching stock. But the paint work on that coach is superb. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jol Wilkinson Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Nice work with the coach livery John. I have just done a batch of seven carriages after a long break from painting and lining and realised that I had forgotten some of what I had learned and written about. While practice doesn't make perfect in my case, it certainly helps. Keep at it Jol 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John lewsey Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hi I've recently taken this steam railmotor out of its box I started making it a few years ago it was going together really well and for some reason I just stopped so I intend to get on with it again only problem is I can't find the destructions so if anyone has a set I would love to have a copy if that's possible Regards John 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jol Wilkinson Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hi John, nice work but sorry I can't help with the instructions. I have the body etches for the Railmotor but no motor bogie etch, so I'll have to design a new one. Did you use the original? What is the roof? The original kits had a vac formed roof IIRC.

John lewsey Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hi Jol I got it from Blacksmith models and the roof came with it I've also lost one of the chimneys .Are you thinking of doing a chassis etch I have used the original but it doesn't run very well at the moment but they do look good once they are painted in LNWR livery John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John lewsey Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 I thought that I'd build one too I have a drawing for one of these somewhere and I'm sure that there are bolts or screws (five I think ) across the runners for the roof door John 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penlan Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 ..... after a long break from painting and lining and realised that I had forgotten some of what I had learned and written about. ... I believe there's a 'T' shirt for this.. Been, and indeed, I'm still there, but lack the 'T' shirt I've not only forgotten, but can't even find the tools, decals, transfers etc., I use to use. The worry is I have 10 coaches on a shelf awaiting completion, let alone those that are basically assembled, but lack paint, and somebody wants them for their layout at an exhibition in October.... . 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penlan Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) ..... I intend to get on with it again only problem is I can't find the destructions so if anyone has a set I would love to have a copy if that's possible Is this 4mm ? If so, and Mallard Models, then yes I have a set of instructions, though how I still have them after 40 years (the kit was first available in 1976) I have no idea. If you still need them, PM me. If anybody's wondering why all my stock photos seem to be in the same location, they are part of the insurance portfolio.

stevejjjexcov Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Nice build Penlan. It's nice to see a finished Mallard kit. I suspect a lot got started and not finished. I have 2 gwr bulldogs still boxed I bought them second hand over 10 years ago. Will never build them now. All the best Steve 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
