RMweb Premium MJI Posted July 24, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 24, 2021 The station is for my Cornish branch project, 5 layers of plastic card, about 1/3rd through making. Currently working on window sills and plinths. The tender is a LRM MR tender for my 2P project, this will be one of the pair which were the last MR 2Ps at Gloucester. It will be similar era to my IC DMU! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium MJI Posted August 14, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 14, 2021 Today has been busy with swapping the kitchen tap valves and struggling with seized hot handle. So a late start this wekend for modelling. Giving the 2P a slight rest beside filling the boiler side as part of the conversion. Still need to find a 4F chimney, just a case of knowing what is what. So back to the 120 and the motor bogie, I will build the 120 on its own but will pair build the IC power bogies as I will build the two intermediates straight after the two centres. Next weekend I hope it is OK for a spraying session, will be maroon on three vehicles, OR grey on the 120. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium MJI Posted August 15, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 15, 2021 I used the Lima cross member as the Hornby one is too wide, I will solder a brass U over the top to mount in the chassis. Not sure if to use side on length, length probably better then can chop off the sides. I lopped off the upper Lima roller fittings at both ends will leave the bottoms one and use as a base for a coupling. There is about 1 to 2 mm sideplay in the Triang hole, I had to take quite a bit out of the chassis. This is an experiment, when I get it right I will know exactly what to do with the next pair.

Tempfix Rich Papper Posted August 15, 2021 Tempfix Share Posted August 15, 2021 Looking good so far. You have more patience than me in the routing of exhaust pipes under there. I like the look of that Lorider - never seen one before. Rich 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MJI Posted August 15, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 15, 2021 I used earth wire from the old cable to shed at the last house ad too short here. Been no power in shed for 2 decades. Works well as bands easily. Low riders are smooth and compact but not overly powerful .3 is their limit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
