Swindon 123 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 After a bit of head scratching and some help from Mr Wibble, I have got my Hattons Andrew Barclay EM'ed. See photo below of it on its final test runs on Hornsey Broadway. It has lost its "Little Barford" name, and I modified the front wasp stripes by painting them out on the smokebox, so they are only on the tank front. it is now awaiting works and Nameplates from Narrow Planet, and will go into the weathering phase. More on how it was EM'ed can be found on the "EM70's" website at this link. http://www.emgauge70s.co.uk/model_omwb147.html Paul J. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted September 10, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) did either 702, 703 or 704 exist? I'm thinking of resurrecting the one I damaged back from the dead and changing its identity to something that never existed in reality Edited September 10, 2018 by chuffinghell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How close is the wheelbase to that of a GWR steam railmotor, I wonder??? Maybe I should have said an Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST that never existed a bit like Michael Long becoming Michael Knight I'm just going to do a patch up, re-number and livery change........anything more than that is beyond by abilities at the moment Edited September 10, 2018 by chuffinghell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might alter the cab back sheet one day but for now I’m happy andRuke 1 applies as the loco has been requisitioned on its way back to Swansea Docks by the Shed master following its works overhaul.....

Similar story, although I’ll be renumbering mine and changing the livery I won’t be modifying the rear of the cab As a fictional layout hopefully by using numbers that never actually existed I’ll get away with it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swindon 123 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 This is what my EM conversion work looks like on the Barclay, with shots taken of the underside of the chassis, and a converted wheelset sitting on a length of C&L EM track. The wheels do end up being pretty much the same thickness as the prototype. Not much to play with. you can't afford to have any track wide to gauge.

Steamport Southport Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Seeing as it's supposed to be GWR Brunswick Green then I would go for that. Seriously though most RTR manufacturers seem to vary quite a bit. Just look at Bachmann and Hornby GWR locomotives for example. It's made by quite a few paint manufacturers such as Phoenix and Humbrol. Humbrol make Brunswick Green in both acrylic and enamel, https://www.hattons.co.uk/37039/Humbrol_AA0031_No_3_Brunswick_Green_Gloss_Tinlet_No_1_14ml_/StockDetail.aspx but they also make GWR/BR Green. I would go for this. https://www.hattons.co.uk/37274/Humbrol_AB2405_Rail_Paint_GWR_BR_Green_RC405_Acrylic_14ml/StockDetail.aspx Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
