MarcD Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I'm currently designing a 12inch tank kit and I'm struggling to get a good photo of the early safety valves and one of the backhead. Anyone know were i can get one? Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rope runner Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Which prototype Marc? There were a few Barclay designs with 12'' cylinders. Paul A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

avonside1563 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Here’s a couple of cab shots of 1219 if it helps. She’s got some additions with vacuum ejector and steam heat take offs. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcD Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I have been told recently that the tanks built before 1870 were box tanks and I was sent a sketch and a few photos. Including one showing the back head. its tapered and of a larger diameter to the later tanks. The fitting all seam to line up with the later ones but the shape is different. I'm now looking at 3 different types Pre 1870 12inch box tank 3ft6 wheel post 1870 12inch piano tank 3ft6 wheel post 1890 12inch 3ft2 wheel There are no wheels for any of them. There is a 3ft7 wheel but it doesn't have the correct centres for any of them. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcD Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 they also do a AB starter kit. £250 all in. I think it's a 14 of 16 inch one. Its under their tower collection section. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruston Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 I repainted and weathered this Hattons 16-inch Barclay for someone else. The smokebox door handles were missing so I made some dogs and a Staveley Ironworks-style door handle. This is another that I did for the owner of the one above. 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingrail Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 This is my 3d printed narrow gauge gasworks Barclay in 2mm scale. 988 from 1903 I am not sure of the lighter green in preservation as being the original so on my first attempt I have gone for a dark green Its based on those made for Edinburgh/Granton gasworks. Maybe a little off topic but do any of you Barclay experts out there have any info about original livery of Barclay locos? Keen to know opinions of the livery/colour of the narrow gauge locos from new as per attached picture and of course the far left standard gauge loco which I think is 1036 from 1904. Difficult to find any reference material , especially in lockdown! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovbulleid Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Here are some pictures of Devonport Dockyard No.18. It’s a Hattons chassis and Light Railway Stores cab and transfers. I’ve got a long rake of dockyard wagons already so I’ve paired them up here. I’m relatively happy with the finished product but I may replace one transfer after it came away during handling, it also needs a stay-alive for some more momentum. I’ve got a Harry’s Hobbies kit and Hornby chassis to build the Devonport Bagnall and another hattons chassis for a second AB, but I’ll need a different number plate to the one LRS supply. The Wasp stripes were unique to 18 so I won’t need to repeat them too (I took these pics before they arrived so you’ll have to trust me that I added them...) 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish Railway Maniac Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I'm a wee bit of an Andrew Barclay nut, I've got about 40 models in total but these are my two favourites, a (very rare) ARC models 12' kit built a few years ago. I built it to look like 'Balmenach' no. 2020 in its current dismal state as I wanted to experiment with rust and weathering at the time. The other loco is a part scratchbuilt 16' 0-6-0. The tank and boiler are from a redundant DJH kit I had. This loco was built this year by my friend over at Purbeck Works on Facebook. 8 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hodgson Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Hattons give the sharpest curve for their Barclay as 2nd radius. Surely any 0-4-0T should be able to go round a dinner dish? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
