Ngauge worsley works class74 kit

[Dog the man]

Hi I have just got a worsley works class 74 kit  and was looking for some instructions on how to make it if somebody can tell me the best way to make it thankyou dogtheman

What is your skill level with etched kits?

 

Worsley Works are a scratch aid rather than a complete kit, they don't as you know from your question come with instructions and are probably not a good first model to attempt.

 

I've noted from the N gauge forum, the Worsley kit is scale length so will require a bespoke chassis, Etched Pixels did a version which could be plonked (in his own words) on a Farish 25/33 chassis.

Have a look at the N  gauge build, also available in 2mm amd 3mm scales

Tips from Mr Sprue are really good .  The chassis is a "problem" depending on road taken. Being a metal body the splitframe modern chassis does mean good isolation required. Also real thing had spoked drivers at 10 ` 6" spacing IIRC but the nearest is the Dapol hymek but bogie centres to close by all of 4mm ! so that looks the way forward. Sadly having tried the D63xx spoked wheels do not fit the hymek - so close but no cigar....

 

Kit makes up well and the pre rolled body is very close . The roof panels I rolled around a 25" diameter broom handle and these spring nicely on the body and glued on and taped down - mark with a pencil some location marks and a centre line to get spot on.  

Only missing thing are four holes below side windows to end the around the corner handrails . BH Enterprises or in my case the gloat pile had sets of TPM brass horns and wipers, also available from N brass loco. Both are sole traders who really sport our scale with a "zillion" of useful parts you never knew you needed !!!

 

https://www.railtec-models.com/showitem.php?id=931 for transfers , no 74 exactly but 73 00x numbers help along the way - another worthwhile avenue of n  transfers.  

A Dapol 73 if available from would give all the front end furniture - via your fav supplier or perhaps DCC supplies- albeit nothing shown today - just looked for a link,      

 

Hope that helps

A bit of a gap to overcome on the roof , it's like a span of the Forth bridge 

 

But it looks quite good once done.

 Hi yes but it is a scratch aid  and Allen likes to give little challenges - really where you go off the end of the etching radar .  The formable mesh idea is inspireded for domes   and works well - I have done mine in filler  and will use again in the future with a D600 kit in the pile.
