Great I look forward to that, blimey if I still had a Castle and Hall to build first it might be Nov / Dec but it wouldn't be 2010 more like 2012 .

Following on from my reply of yesterday, some photos of the valve gear, all the photos are scans of 6X4 prints so the quality may not be so good.

First the main bits of the valve gear.

The four big bits, ie. valves and slide bars, eccentrics and crank axle and piston rods and con. rods.

Same as above but more from the side.

Down to two bits now.

Frames and motion from above.

Frames etc. from below with part of the G/A drawing in the background.

 

A short note on G/A drawings from the N.R.M. all the drawings are Crown copyright, but you can make copies for your OWN use, so you dont get cr4p all over your nice new drawings. You will have to work out the scale of the drawings as they dont come to any one scale, so two drawing of the same loco eg. side and plan one scale and front rear and sections another scale.

 

One that I am still building.

A handsome model of a handsome prototype! I would love to build one in 4mm ( though NOT with the inside gear! )

 

 

The first loco that I scratch built was a F.R. Baltic in 4mm, the second loco that I scratch built was a F.R. Baltic in 7mm, come to think of it the F.R. Baltic in 7mm was only my third loco in 7mm.

 

No I didn't fit the valve gear to the 4mm one before anyone asks. I may be mad, but not that mad just yet.

 

Must go the men in white coats are here for me.

 

OzzyO.

I love working inside gear. In 4mm, the different types of crank axles are a bit difficult to get hold of, unless you have facilities to make them or know someone who can make them.
