ianblenk Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Help, probably posting in the wrong place but, I want to convert a Jinty to a condensing type for cross town traffic (not the one pictured) I cannot find a decent picture of the tank tops to show positions of fillers or flange detail of the condensing pipes, can anyone help?. Many thanks guys Ian B 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianblenk Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Making some progress on the canal and dock gates. Putting the girders on the underside of the bridge will be fun. I will make them as one unit on a piece of plasticard and slot it in place I am in two minds whether to put a lighter alongside. There will be a footbridge at this end of the canal so it may look a little 'busy' 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianblenk Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I wasn't going to have a P Class as I think they are a bit twee, but hey-ho. Did the S.R. disc head codes equate to head lamps on the rest of the railways? Probably not. Where could i find out where they should go? Many thanks as ever Ian B 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks guys Ian B There are several pictures from various angles on www.rail-online. I think about 50 or 60 ran with condensers at one point so you should be able to find what you want. www.rail-online.co.uk/p361037592/h4dbcb056#h4dbcb056 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
