RMweb Premium 03060 Posted September 22, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 22, 2020 The livery looks all the better for the weathering, not quite so garish as first feared. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1722 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Excellent. Another thumbs up from me, particularly about the way the weathering helps the livery appear less garish. Great job, again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall5 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I hope Ruston won't mind me hijacking his thread to ask a question. What is better than an Austerity? Answer: Two Austerities......as seen in the photo below at Bickershaw Colliery - even into the 1980's (just). Thanks for a most interesting thread. Cheers, Ray. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good study of a fired muck stack. And better than two? Four of course! ( Not counting the 50550) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted October 14, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Lovely bit of work, Dave and nicely weathered as well. I was wondering if anyone had paired the RT Models chassis with a DJM body yet, please? I have an OO Austerity already (former Dapol RTR body and Perseverance chassis), but I acquired an unpowered DJM one from Kernow Models a few years ago and am thinking of using the RT chassis and detailing bits to do one in P4. Thanks. Edited October 14, 2020 by Captain Kernow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is of course as preserved, and may not be original, but I hope these are of some use to you? It was snowing at the time, so I apologise for the flakes getting in the way... Al.

David Bell Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I do like an austerity! Your model is looking great. Here are a few pictures taken at Boness a couple of years ago Cheers David 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doilum Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) It is almost a year since I managed a Friday night pint or three. The TV is appalling and I got to wondering how many of the individual austerities we have managed to model? Which is the most popular? Happy to start this as a new thread if there is any interest.

The TV is appalling and I got to wondering how many of the individual austerities we have managed to model? Which is the most popular? Happy to start this as a new thread if there is any interest. Here is one to go on- a Hornby which I fitted with a Geisl quite a few years ago. It was then DCC fitted by me and became the main colliery shunter for NO PLACE. As the less than perfect track at the colliery exit causes a lot of locos to stall I decided to take the sound and stay-alive route with the colliery fleet of shunters. The reverse curves are too sharp and close together for many locos not to take the wrong turn at the coarse-scale frog gaps, DJ and EFE WDs don't like the two points in the video clip. Here is RESPITE just back from Digitrains with sound and a stay alive. Now to start saving the pennies to get another one done. I may put a little insulation into the tank void- the tank weight has been removed completely. On a 7 foot long layout it never gets to pull enough wagons to tax it. I might have to adjust the chuff rate slightly, it seems to be a couple of degrees out of the 4 beats per revolution it should be, but I'll study it on the test track for a while before playing with it.
