I had a pair of these David Geen L&Y single holster wagons gifted to me by a member of the BRMA, they were very easy to put together and they run beautifully. I liked the look of them running, but wanted to add a load, but i knew I wouldn’t be able to glue the load on to both of the wagons otherwise they wouldn’t pivot properly. I couldn’t believe it, I actually used my brain before going in with glue..... I decided on glueing the pipes together first, then glueing the chain to either side of the wagon and a small dab on the top of each pipe, allowing the wagon underneath to pivot ever so slightly, just like the real thing and it works! Another project was to build a SEF chassis and place it under a Bachman j39 Body, well here it is so far, far from finished, but it shows how it sits and I think it looks perfect. Needs a bit more weight added and the chassis finished, but she’s getting there. Great work Jesse, love it when a plan comes together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erichill16 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Regarding the J39 tender, I think this is the kit Tony mentions. If you look at the third of Tony’s pictures, the tender chassis is noticeably longer than the tank but I think the kit has exaggerated this. It was a nice kit to do and didn’t take long either. I think it was completed within a day. Regards Robert Edited March 18, 2020 by Erichill16 Typo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Sim Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Three kits on the go here, all Cambrian Models, apparently there’s a workbench there somewhere.... Also had my first Cobalt failure today, and it had to be on one of the mainlines too, lucky the local hobby shops still open....for how long I don’t know 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve found a photo of a J39 with the tender that Bachmann has done on the ECML not far from Grantham I think....so one would presume the one I have is accurate?

jwealleans Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Maybe, but where's the fun in that? Everyone has one of those. One of the ones I run on Grantham (2696, I think) had the stepped coping tender, but the other one (1273) will be receiving a 3500 gallon (short) one in due course. I think I found a K3 with the stepped out tender and swapped them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accurate? I have no idea, Jesse. If it is, it's very rare on a J39. That said, it'll enable you to get a loco up and running quickly......... You, and all your family, please keep safe.

That’s what I’m thinking at the present moment, she’s ready to rock n roll, if only accurate in a small, once in a blue moon way. Goods loco’s are what I’m short of, the B16 still needs the araldite on the cylinders and I need to finish the SEF J39 and the B16 DJH kit here, plenty to do! we are all safe and sound, hope you and Mo are as well, it’s my birthday today and it doesn’t seem like it is, pubs closed, can’t see my mates, oh well, plenty more, hopefully!

jwealleans Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I obtained a Dave Alexander kit in a bit of horsetrading. The frames are fairly easy to cut down from a 4200 gallon one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
