I van confirm the use of two bogies, which themselves use compensation. Cheers for the heads up, going to try and get those bogies working this week all being well, along with some suitable spaces/holes for the bearings on the stroudley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woko Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Had a go at painting up one of the 4mm Stroudley Lantern brakes, needs some transfers, which I still have to source somewhere, and probably a bit of weathering down to make sit better! Especially that bright roof! I still can't get bearings to work in such a narrow underframe, but the wheels turn pretty well without them, although not as cracking with bearings I imagine! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woko Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Finally got some prints of my GNR stock in 4mm, i am particularly fond of the 16ft long goods van! I reckon this will look cool in 7mm when my Mono X finally arrives! 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woko Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 Unfortunately its been a busy week workwise so haven't managed to model as much as I would have liked to! Though have finished a couple of Brakes, the Billington was for a friend of mine who hasn't gotten round to making the kit yet he bought many years back so figured I would knock him one up as a surprise! Secondly I couldn't resist this lovely SECR Incline brake, I believe there where only 2 ever made, but its so different, I thought I would model one up before I start tackling coaches! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted November 29, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Personally I prefer Pressfix, I did a tutorial on how to use them when I was finishing up my Brighton K Class, in it's rather unique livery Gary Edited November 29, 2020 by BlueLightning 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha you are most welcome chap! I have promised Gary above a Stroudley Lantern brake for all his help on getting it right, but I figure I may stick a few 4mm ones up for anyone who wants them at the start of next year! I'm currently having way to much fun building this stuff, but constantly making amendments on them as I figure better ways to print and construct them as I go along. I now have 17 wagons ranging from LBSC to GNR and the odd SE&CR which is mostly for the clubs new 7mm layout we hope to get cracking on next year all being well and pandemic obliging! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwealleans Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) What did you base the GN brake van on? The well-known photo and the D & S kit are both of the prototype which had the verandah door at the extreme end. All the other, production, vans, had it against the cabin partition. I had more than one D & S kit, so I altered one: Liking the LBSC stock - please make it well known when you start selling them.
