Killian keane Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 The LCDR is a line Ive always had an interest in, as such I have two projects related thereto, those being the 1860 hawthorn pannier tank Magnus which is on hold until the box tank is finished, and the new announcement of the Europa class, that being the most modern loco Ive ever done, but still of some vintage built 1873 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killian keane Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 theyre both based off the WSMR Neilson (370/56) and are pretty much identical to the one in the PDF drawing save for the cab which has been slightly altered, the low profile box is an experimental request (fictional) with the aim of fitting the port of par loading gauge, as for powering it I don't have a specific plan, Ive left as much space under the boiler as possible while still fitting between 00 wheelsets 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Colne Valley tank loco had started its life on the LB&SCR as a Sharp tender loco. As was Mr Craven's way, as they became outclassed, they were converted to tank engines and one of them was eventually sold off to the Colne Valley and Halstead Railway - hence this photo. There were several sizes of Sharpie as the design evolved but there is probably enough information to give you a reasonable starting point. Of course there is also the issue of the rather agricultural extension of the bunker. Somehow I doubt that there was ever a drawing of that: just a rather energetic bit of panel beating and riveting. I look forward to seeing what you produce. Best wishes Eric 6 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killian keane Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Hi Eric, I hope youre enjoying the seaford print (its rather inferior to my current designs), Ive found the wheel diameters from its later use on the colne valley and halstead, and Im extrapolating from the photo, it would be such a shame to waste such a delicious loco, what Ill probably do is map the features onto an existing drawing of a similar loco (something like no.14 from the lbscr society site perhaps?) and arrive at something approximating the Sharp in question, as we speak Im at an advanced stage on the dome I still maintain your Sharpie is magnificent, and as you can see from the tender above I have one in progress Edited November 23, 2019 by Killian keane 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your thoughts on motorising it? my thoughts are that they'll be the easiest of my models to motorise as compared to the little craven tanks the boiler is colossal with an internal diameter of 16.2mm, for this one I think Ill build one up and motorise it before letting it out outright so Ill post what I end up doing 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwardian Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Disaster has struck! As the West Norfolk started off with E B Wilson's, I thought that enough of an excuse to order the Jenny Lind components. This is a somewhat hefty investment, with Shapeways' pricing structure (ordering buffers individually to a combined total of $28 was a bit of an ouch moment), but I thought it woud be worth it and diligently ordered a full set of components. I was, therefore, horror struck to find that the order for three of the components; safety valve, chimney and tender body were "cancelled". Shapeways offers no explanation, and, as a loco without boiler fittings and a tender chassis without a tender body does rather put the kibosh on the project, I thought I'd come to the font, as it were, and ask what can be done? I certainly did not cancel them. I placed the order, was charged and then partially refunded, so why might this happen? Are these items not capable of printing? I'd re-order but, of course, depending on the reason for the cancellation, that might prove a waste of time. A lesson learned in trying to purchase a complete locomotives by component.
