RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted January 20, 2018 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2018 Earlier this evening Lacarthedrale posted a photo of his superb model of a Midland van in 7mm in the pre-grouping general discussion thread as he has no workbench thread to show it in, although there is nothing wrong with posting it there I thought we should have a showcase thread where our finished individual models (rather than layouts) could be shown off together. So I thought I would start it off with my NER 1001 No 1093, built at North Road Works in April 1867 as No93 (S&D section number) and named Uranus, it later received a Worsdell boiler and fittings and was withdrawn in 1909. 33 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caley Jim Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Look forward to seeing some pre-grouping models I don't have a workshop thread either on account of the fact that I don't have a workshop, but here's a couple for starters.

Guy Rixon Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Here's an ex-SER Grand Vitesse van, from a Roxey kit. The paint is Precision "SECR crimson" which I now find too blue, having settled on a purple-brown shade similar to that the recent Bachmann coaches. Lettering, using Fox transfers, is to the SER layout with the company name changed; I assume that it got repainted just after formation of the SECR. The latter didn't line their vans but the SER did, and the bluer paint looks awfully dull without lining. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachmann Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 LNWR push & pull coaches. The first is to diagram M49. The elaborate external livery belied the spartan interior, which resembled that in a street tram... LNWR diagram M52 were the only LNWR side-corridor push-pull coaches with a driving compartment... LNWR push pull coaches lasted into the 1950's and generally continued to run in LMS maroon rather than BR carmine red but with BR insignia. This pair lasted until 1955.... 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are G&SW transfers on the HMRS Scottish Pre-Grouping wagon sheet. If you're willing to venture into no-man's land under a flag of truce, you might find a Caley entusiast with whom you could trade halves of the sheet! If you will excuse a bit of Midland pedantry, Midland wagons may have had black ironwork in the early 1870s and earlier but would be all-over grey by the date of these wagons - apart from the running gear of course.

RMweb Gold NeilHB Posted January 22, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) The current pre-grouping encumbents of my workbench. Skytrex GER G15 - this is mounted on a regauged Bachmann 0n30 tramcar chassis - a nice smooth runner. Just need to finish off the painting on the body and it's complete. Next up is 'Robin' (formerly Crosby) - repainted Dapol A1 - I'm in the process of lining her at the moment - this is as far as I've got tonight. I think I'm going to paint the wheels to match the body at some point. She has also been fitted with the later iron brakeshoes, replacing the wooden ones supplied with the standard A1 model. And lastly is 'Swallow' - again a repainted Dapol A1X - same Railway but representing a later time period, hence the different shade of green and simpler lining. The two sisters together :-) Edited January 22, 2018 by NeilHB 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Towards the end of the First World War, the Midland Railway abandoned the clerestory roof and built a series of experimental elliptical roof coaches that were to be the forerunners of new post-war stock. The ends were steel with angle section strengtheners to prevent telescoping in the even of collision and the bogies were a heavier version of the old 10ft bogie..... In the event, the 10ft bogies were not repeated and a heavy version 8ft bogie was used on 56' 6" stock and 9ft bogies on 57' stock. Ends reverted to wood panelled and later on matchboard. Note the recessed flat-sided brake end.......This was not repeated nor were the door handles. Handles became recessed instead....

If you will excuse a bit of Midland pedantry, Midland wagons may have had black ironwork in the early 1870s and earlier but would be all-over grey by the date of these wagons - apart from the running gear of course. These Kirk wagons are pretty good when you consider when the kits were made and what was available at the time. They were easy kits for the maker too having opening doors at both ends, only needing mouldings for 1 side and 1 end! The G&SW was one of the lines which was very careful and only permitted a few private owners to run their own wagons. It controlled the condition of the vehicles running and could charge demurrage if the user was too slow in emptying them! When they were repainting wagons the G&SWR tended to forget the black ironwork on the bodies and just painted everything grey! Ian. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachmann Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Midland style in the clerestory era. The first vehicle, a 12-wheeler, belongs to the 1890's era of mainline non-corridor coaches. The livery is almost 'Midland' but is in fact representative of post 1928 when the coach was already some 30 years old with the LMS insignia at one end of the coach and the running number at the other. It was an 0 gauge model built in Plastikard by David Jenkinson... A somewhat later coach is this 8-wheel corridor brake composite on lightweight 8ft bogies but carrying 1923-28 LMS insignia. This is a 4mm scale model built using as the basis Bill Bedford etched sides and ends. One of these coaches survived into the mid 1950's in departmental use at Dolwydellen on the Conwy Valley line in North Wales. This coach has two half-compartments, so beloved of the Midland....
