Silverfox17 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 After the lovely running of the unrebuilt Royal Scot recently I decided to get two more out that were painted a few years ago and try to finish them off. Tonight I put the lining on and will see what names I have in-store before ordering the cabside numbers from Railtec. Garry 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox17 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 A very recent model from Lenny at Lincoln Locos arrived today, a B16/1 and what a beauty. The tender has a full separate inside print which fits perfectly, as usual. Garry 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox17 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Another beauty from Lenny, the EM2. This will be BR Green and named Electra as 1) I had the 00 model when it came out around 1963, and 2) I photographed her in that livery in Manchester Piccadilly in 67. Nice pair of pantographs come with it as well. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverfox17 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Here is the first RTR diesel from Lenny at Lincoln-Locos. A lovely runner so far with more tests to do later. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted September 14, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 14, 2021 Lenny defo onto a winner for 12mm rtr chassis I could do with several for rats, 33, 37 and a few more In kit form would be fine for me but others will certainly like an rtr. I would hope to use some Dapol N pcbs to collect pick ups and to be able to add lighting, but also the latent provision for DCC could be useful. The video shows good haulage and low noise which is good. Hopefully weight casting has an allowance for cutting back to give cab daylight. Thanks for showing that this stage of development.

Silverfox17 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 The Lincoln-Locos EM2 "finished". Transfers as usual from Railtec finish it off. No nameplates yet but the real ones were not named for a while. Garry 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverfox17 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I was never happy with the Modelmaster lining and individual numbers on my green standard 5 so tonight I removed them (easily without any paint coming off) and reapplied. This time I used Fox lining and Railtec numbers. I also decided to line the footplate edge and cylinder covers. The tender still has Modelmaster lining which although slightly different I will leave. Also completed is 44200 using the excellent Railtec cabside transfers. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverfox17 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Lincoln-Locos RTR class 24 nearly finished. I have not decided what to do about the buffers as yet. The chassis is an excellent fit all around the body so don't really want to cut it, but, I don't want to have the buffer stems held just by the buffer beam thickness. Numbers are from Railtec and the crest is from Fox. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox17 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Found some full BRITISH RAILWAYS transfers for use on the Duchess tender. Still need to put a white line inside the red around the cab. Then make a "spacer" between the boiler bands to mount the nameplates. Pity I did not know about the Railtec transfers when I did the loco, although, I am in two minds to try to remove these individual ones and get a made up set from Railtec. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox17 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Little and large, L&Y class 28 number 52400. Cab numbers as usual from Railtec, tender crest from Fox. This I think started out as a Bec J11 but modified to resemble the L&Y 28 which it is not far off. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox17 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 The "Tri-ang" WD (Lincoln-Locos) and 8F (brass/whitemetal)!have been varnished without their smokebox numbers which I am still waiting for. The unrebuilt Royal Scot is a Gem kit nearing completion (plates are old Kings X). The B16/1 (Lincoln-Locos) is finished ex-works but I may give her a duller finish later. Tenders all coaled up. All the cabside numbers are the brilliant Railtec ones, other transfers are Fox. 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverfox17 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Nothing new as such but a mint boxed Britannia bought very cheaply 3 or 4 years ago for just £12 having its first run. This will be kept as a show model, I have very few I don't run and thus is one of them. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverfox17 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Another Britannia but this time the lining was well worn but the rest seemed to be okay so thought I would start to improve it with some Fox and Railtec transfers. The nameplates are old Kings X which I have cut out. Looks to be working out okay. This will be SR's 70004. I had a spare set of plates, John of Gaunt, so cut them out ready for another spare Brit 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
